- Actual tick populations are not tracked but may be inferred by measuring cases of Lyme disease, which is caused exclusively by tick bites
- 2020 data for a handful of states may be slightly incomplete due to complications related to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic
- Rates in Hawaii are non-reportable by law
- Lyme Disease Estimate: Due to the fact that the CDC’s data only represents confirmed cases, the actual quantity of Lyme disease cases may be notably higher
