Florida had a striking increase between 2003 and 2008 that isn’t reflected by California or Texas. Did something specific happen in Florida in that timeframe?

Does “per 100,000” refer to the entire population, or the population under 25? If the former, could some of the differences be accounted for by changing demographics?

Damn, that 2020 spike really tells a whole other tragic story of its own.
What did CA do between 2006-07?
