County records unavailable at time of file creation:	none	

Errata 1:	 March 2014 we were made aware that the age groups in the Statewide Database registration datasets are using incorrect labels. 
The age groups were labeled 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64 and 65 Plus when they should be labeled 18-23, 24-33, 34-43, 44-53, 54-63 and 64 Plus.  

Please note that county files containing age group data released before October 15th, 2014 and statewide files realased before Mon, 22 Dec 2014 will 
contain age categories that break at -23 years instead of 24 years.
