The populations for year 2016 are from the postcensal single-race series of July 1st estimates of the resident population, released by Census Bureau on June 22, 2017; and the postcensal bridged-race series of July 1st estimates of the resident population, released by NCHS on June 26, 2017.
Columns
For natality:
- Total Births
- Birth Rate per 100K
- Female Population
- Fertility Rate per 100K (women)
- Average Birth Weight Grams
Each cause of death has the following columns:
- Deaths: Total number of deaths
- % of Total: Percent of total deaths
- Crude per 100K: The crude death rate per 100,000 population
- Age-Adj per 100K: The age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population
Causes
Cause of death codes are from the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD–10).
Sequelae are conditions that are a consequence of a previous disease or injury.
