* The descriptions of code categories are general and do not include subcategories and exclusions unless noted. For detailed descriptions of code categories, see the ICD-9 manual. E-codes are ICD-9 external cause of injury codes, so they are preceded by an "E." For traumatic brain injury (TBI) deaths, diagnosis codes had to be accompanied by an E-code as an underlying cause of death.
Colors: Injury Maps uses color schemes to shade the maps. The choices for
colors affect how the shading will appear. In the default color scheme,
red equals the 90th percentile
and greater; blue equals the 75-89th percentiles; and white
equals the lowest percentile.
Two other three-color options are green
and grayscale. The green option features green equaling the 90th
percentile and greater, blue equaling the 75-89th percentiles, and
white equaling the lowest percentiles. The grayscale option
features dark gray equaling the 90th percentile and greater, light
gray equaling the 75-89th percentiles, and white equaling the lowest
percentiles.
Injury Maps also offers one four-color option that maps rates by quartiles.
In this color scheme, red equals the 75th percentile and greater; blue
equals the 50-74th percentile; gray equals the 25-49th percentile; and
white equals the lowest percentiles.
The table below summarizes the meaning of the color schemes:

| Color | Percentile | Color | Percentile | Color | Percentile | Color | Percentile |
| red | > 90 | green | > 90 | dark gray | > 90 | red | > 75 |
| blue | 75-89 | light green | 75-89 | light gray | 75-89 | blue | 50-74 |
| white | < 89 | white | < 89 | white | < 89 | gray | 25-49 |
| white | < 25 | ||||||
Excess Deaths: For state maps, Injury Maps displays an estimate of the excess deaths per year for each cause of injury. NCIPC obtained these estimates by multiplying the excess death rate by the state’s average annual population. Excess death rates were calculated by subtracting the national rate from the rate within the state. Consequently, a state’s excess deaths per year for a given type of injury is the number of additional deaths each year in the state because of the state’s mortality rate being higher than the national rate.
Mortality Rate: The number of people in a given population who have died during a period of time from a specific cause. Injury Maps' mortality rates are expressed in deaths per 100,000.
Period of Interest: The years for which injury death rate data is available for mapping.
Layer (Display Option): Allows you to adjust the display of your map by adding or removing layers of information. This feature includes
- show cities and city names,
- show water boundaries and names of bodies of water,
- show highways and highway names,
- show congressional district boundaries and names,
- show state boundaries and names, and
- show county boundaries and names.
Note: Some layers and/or their names are visible only when you zoom in closely to the map. You will can print the map at any zooming stage.
Zoom In / Zoom Out (Display Options): Allow you to adjust the display to focus in on or back away from the map. Some layers are visible only when you zoom in closely.
Center (Display Option): Enables you to return the map to the center of the map area.
Download Map Image: Allows you to download the map you create as a .GIF graphic file.
View Tabular Data: Links to an accessible table version of the data displayed in the map.
Info: Provides access to additional information about a particular county on the map. This information includes the exact death rate for the county selected as well as links to an injury profile and the state health department.
