Note The 2004 through 2007 autopsy numbers use final data from the Center for Health Statistics death files. The 2008 through 2010 numbers are preliminary data. The 2010 autopsy number is through September of last year. Oregon operates on a biennium budget, meaning two fiscal years. Annual budget is the approved budget placed under the latest year of each biennium budget cycle, except for FY2009-2011, in which case it is placed under 2010.
