Supplementary notes
* Based on death rates per 100,000 people.
** Data on Hispanic origin should be interpreted with caution; studies comparing Hispanic origin on death certificates and on census surveys have shown inconsistent
reporting on Hispanic ethnicity. Potential race misclassification might lead to underestimates for certain categories, primarily American Indian/Alaska Native
non-Hispanic and Asian/Pacific Islander non-Hispanic decedents
