Mortality Charts for the
United States
(This project is being done with the
collaborative effort of Wings for Life
http://www.wingsforlife-intl.org/ The results are
disturbing.)
When viewing these charts, only those charts
that had the most complete data sets were used. Many areas
within the US had such incomplete data that the data presented
could not be used in many areas. (The Native American
community is one such area-it was as if these racial communities
had what some call "A Negative Life Value.") It is
important to understand that the state chart is simply the
average for the entire state which basically means that there
are values that are above the above and below. We have tried to break down
the data by: Year and Race and gender. All of the data has
been gathered from various Governmental and State agencies.
We are able to "drill-down" even further, by county or zip code.
Because even areas within a state can vary. If you would
like a break down to the lowest possible value, please contact
jhoyt@heart-intl.net
We found much disparity between the wealthier
states and races (primarily white) as compared to people of
color. Poverty plays a large part in these mortality
charts. Much of the Native American and Eskimo data was incomplete or
even non-existent in states that have large Native American
Communities.
A listing of all states are below the chart
for the US. These charts will be updated. Compare
the charts, in some states there is a high mortality rates at
specific age groupings while
others are fairly good. As a visitor to the United
States from Kenya was looking at the data for Washington DC
stated, "We
are doing better in Kenya than you are!"
This chart is for the entire United States
(from The Human Mortality Database (http://www.mortality.org/
)
Listed below are mortality
charts; all based upon
year, race and gender.
The entire
table should be done by Nov 30, 1010
