NCHS Leading Causes of Death by State, 1999-2017

NCHS "Leading Causes of Death: United States" extract from data.cdc.gov (dataset bi63-dtpu): deaths and age-adjusted death rates per 100,000 (2000 US standard population) for the 10 leading causes of death plus all causes, for the United States, the 50 states, and the District of Columbia, 1999-2017. It covers only those 11 cause groups, with no age, sex, or race detail, and ends in 2017; it is not the full CDC WONDER mortality database. NCHS stopped updating this file after 2017; for 2014-2024 state deaths and age-adjusted rates by cause (17 causes, the same death counts on the overlapping years), use cdc/state-mortality-by-cause. Maternal causes are not included. For maternal deaths by state and year from WONDER, use cdc/wonder-maternal-deaths-by-state.
