1 Race coding is based on categories: White Alone, Black Alone, Asian/PI Alone, Other, Not Stated. Race is assigned regardless of Ethnicity.
More discrete Asian and/or Pacific Islander (PI) racial groups cannot be displayed due to small counts and confidentiality concerns (see Technical Notes).
2 Total Deaths = White Alone + Black Alone + Asian/PI Alone + Other + Not Stated regardless of Ethnicity.
3 Hispanic includes all Hispanics regardless of race. Hispanic total is not mutually exclusive with race totals.
4 Total includes records with Age Not Stated. Causes of death with fewer than 10 cases are not shown but are included in the Total.
