About
Key Highlights
- In 2024, TB incidence rates were highest among persons 65 years or older at 4.1 per 100,000, followed by persons in age group 25–44 (3.8), 45–64 (3.2), 15–24 (2.6), 0–4 (1.4), and 5–14 (0.6).
- Increases in case counts compared with 2023 were observed for all age groups except among persons 65 years and older.
- Persons aged 25–44 had the largest increase in the number of cases, from 3,009 in 2023 to 3,502 in 2024.

Notes
1) Previously published incidence rates for 1993–1999 have been updated using Resident Population: Monthly Postcensal Resident Population, by single year of age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin;
2) Denominators for computing 2000–2009 incidence rates were obtained from the Intercensal Estimates of the Resident Population by Single Year of Age and Sex for States and the United States: April 1, 2000 to July 1, 2010;
3) Denominators for computing incidence rates for 2010–2019 were obtained from the Annual Estimates of the Resident Population by Single Year of Age and Sex for the United States: April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2020; accessed June 22, 2021, and
4) Denominators for computing incidence rates for 2020–2024 were obtained from the Annual Estimates of the Resident Population by Single Year of Age and Sex for the United States: April 1, 2020 to July 1, 2024; accessed July 7, 2025.
Data for all years are updated through July 10, 2025.
