Child Mortality

Child Mortality is the number of deaths among children under age 18 per 100,000 population. Understanding the child mortality rate in a county can help interpret the years of potential life lost (YPLL) rate. We provide both the child mortality rate and the number of child deaths.

Premature Age-adjusted Mortality

Premature age-adjusted mortality measures the number of deaths among residents under the age of 75 per 100,000 population. Premature age-adjusted mortality is a common and important population health outcome measure. We provide both the premature age-adjusted mortality rate and the number of premature age-adjusted deaths.
