Notes:
Source: Death data provided by the National Vital Statistics System.
† Death rates (deaths per 100,000 population per year) are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (19 age groups: <1, 1-4, 5-9, ... , 80-84, 85+). Rates calculated using SEER*Stat. Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by NCI. The US Population Data File is used for mortality data.
State Health Departments may provide more current or more local data.
‡ The Average Annual Percent Change (AAPC) is based on the APCs calculated by Joinpoint Regression Program (Version 4.9.0.0). Due to data availability issues, the time period used in the calculation of the joinpoint regression model may differ for selected counties.
For more detailed information about which causes of death are included in All Causes of Death, see the definitions.
Data for United States does not include Puerto Rico.
Please note that the data comes from different sources. Due to different years of data availability, most of the trends are AAPCs based on APCs but some are APCs calculated in SEER*Stat. Please refer to the source for each graph for additional information.
Interpret Rankings provides insight into interpreting mortality statistics. When the population size for a denominator is small, the rates may be unstable. A rate is unstable when a small change in the numerator (e.g., only one or two additional deaths) has a dramatic effect on the calculated rate.
Rural-Urban Continuum Codes (developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) ) are used on this website to distinguish which counties are rural and urban; additionally, how much of a state’s population is classified as rural or urban.
