Sources: 2004 birth data come from National Vital Statistics Reports, Vol. 55, No. 1;
2005 preliminary data come from National Vital Statistics Reports, Vol. 55, No.
11 (state-based
tables); Infant mortality data come from the 2004 period linked
birth/infant death data set; Leading cause of
death data come from the CDC WONDER compressed mortality file and rankings are based on age-adjusted
death rates.
States are categorized from highest rate to lowest. Although adjusted for
differences in age-distribution and population size, rankings by state do not
take into account other state specific population characteristics that may
effect the level of mortality. When the number of deaths is small, rankings by
state may be unreliable due to instability in death rates. For more
