Leprosy, or Hansen's disease, is quite rare in North America, with only a few hundred cases reported annually, primarily in the southern United States, particularly Florida and Texas. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that the incidence rate is approximately 0.2 cases per 100,000 people. Most cases are associated with specific risk factors, such as exposure to infected armadillos. Overall, leprosy is considered a low public health concern in the region.

What is the Average Race of a Rapist in North America?

Your question is too broad. There is no single depository for crime statistics for all of North America. In fact, there is no universal agreement as to the countries and territories that make up North America. Crime statistics for the United States alone are several years behind by the time they are published. Also, statistics are more likely to tell the race of the victim. You may need to extrapolate if you want to know what race rapes the most.If you are interested in such a particular statistic you could perform your own online search to find exactly what you seek.
