{{class BlueText 2017 population estimates were added to the population estimates query module on 8/24/2018. The population counts have been re-estimated going back to 2010. Please note that the new, vintage August 20, 2018, estimates are now being used as population denominators for all NM-IBIS query modules. The new population estimates will cause NM-IBIS to produce rates for the 2010-2017 period that may be slightly different from rates calculated by NM-IBIS prior to 3:00 PM, 8/24/2018. Any differences are expected to be very small.}}Getting Started
