About the Rate/Trend Comparison Table
Purpose
Compares cause of death rate changes between a county of a state and the entire state or between a state and the US. The graphic version of this table groups the data so you can see quickly if the trends are rising, falling, or remaining stable and how they compare to the selected comparison rates. Causes of death that need more attention (have rising rates that are higher than the rate used for comparison) are in the top left. Causes of death that are doing the best (have falling rates that are lower than the rate used for comparison) are in the bottom right. The non-graphical version of this table gives you the actual rates and well as the average annual percentage changes as well as their 95% confidence intervals.
