Brief description gives a phrase to identify the indicator. Clicking on the indicator will give a more detailed description that explains any abbreviations and gives some of the technical details of the indicator.

Desired performance indicates whether low or high numbers reflect better performance on the indicator.

Color-coding assists in analyzing results, which are colored as red (worse than the national average), yellow (near the national average) or green (better than the national average). If comparative data are unavailable or cannot be analyzed for technical reasons, statistics will be italicized and displayed in a white box. To indicate whether a low or high performance is desirable, we indicated the targeted direction by stating "Low" or "High" on the charts.
