TOP 15 CAUSES OF DEATH BY COUNTY USA

The State of Alabama is the default for each cause for alphabetical reasons only. Select any state you wish by clicking it on the United States map then use your mouse to see the data. As you observe the various causes on the USA map remember these counts are based upon population. Other than California many western states have small populations living in large geographic areas. If counts appear larger than you expect that is likely the reason. The same applies to sparsely populated counties. We are using CDC data 2002-2006 because that is the latest available to the county level. Multiple years are necessary to include smaller counties and to smooth cluster variances.
