TECHNICAL NOTES <strong>2003</strong> LOUISIANA VITAL STATISTICS REPORT<br />

POPULATION DATA<br />

In the State Summary sections <strong>of</strong> this report, the bridged-race post-census data for the year 2002 provided by the United States<br />

Census Bureau and National Center for Health <strong>Statistics</strong> (NCHS) were used to calculate state-level rates for demographic<br />

subgroups (race, sex, age). Population files are from the U.S. Census Bureau website (www.census.gov). Age-adjusted<br />

death rates were calculated using the 2000 standard population.<br />

In the Parish Tables and Region Tables sections <strong>of</strong> this report, crude rates for total populations at state, region, and parish<br />

levels were calculated using <strong>Louisiana</strong> Technical University (LATech) Data for 2002.<br />
