The CDC's National Center for Health Statistics updated its "Stats of the States" pages with the final 2024 state-level data on selected vital statistics topics, including—
- General fertility rates
- Teen birth rates
- Leading causes of death
- Other major causes of death
The map pages let you sort and compare states from highest to lowest (or vice versa). All death rates are age-adjusted. Rates are shown on the maps because they best illustrate how a measure affects each state.
