The projected number of individuals served by each community health center (CSCOM) service area within this district is tabulated under the Population heading.

Potential records are listed under Time-series period. Unavailable CSCOM service area records appear under Missing dates—the number of missing monthly records for each year is listed in parenthesis otherwise records for the whole year are missing. These are totaled under Missing months and expressed as percentages from the total number of possible records (across all CSCOM service areas and years) under the % missing heading.
