2013	Northeast (Clark)	270	20.94	P < 0.0001

^aDenotes county of approximate center of each cluster. Observed: the number of incidents in the most significant cluster only. Expected: the expected number of incidents in the cluster based on the random replications. The number of estimated HD cases was available only for the years presented here
