Measures
| Measure | What it measures | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Age-adjusted death rate by leading cause, 12 months ending | Provisional deaths from a leading cause per 100,000 residents, age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population, in the 12 months ending in the named month. | per 100k |
Caveats
- Each figure is age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population and covers the 12 months ending in the named month, on a provisional count that CDC still revises as death certificates finish processing.
- A cause tied to an external event (suicide, homicide, drug overdose, a firearm or a fall) takes longer for a medical examiner or coroner to code than a natural cause like cancer or heart disease, so these causes are consistently a quarter or two further behind than the rest; a missing recent quarter is not yet published, not a zero.
- This dataset carries a rate for every state, but only Idaho's and the nation's are pulled here; this site's cross-state comparison of leading causes of death is the older, final NCHS series covering 1999 to 2017.
