This mortality data dashboard includes categories such as cause of death, residence county, race/ethnicity, and age group. Users can explore trends by selecting specific counties or categories. Data for missing or unknown counties is included in the analysis for a comprehensive view.

Counts fewer than 10 are represented by an asterisk (*) symbol.

This cross-tabulation of categories (such as race/ethnicity, month of death, cause of death, and education) enables comparison and analysis across various dimensions. Please note that if the same category is chosen for both row and column filters, data may not be available, resulting in empty or incomplete results.

Counts fewer than 10 are represented by an asterisk (*) symbol.

Explore the crude death rate to analyze trends across different counties or statewide statistics. Data for missing or unknown counties is not included in this analysis. Crude death rate is a measure of the number of deaths in a given population, typically expressed per 100,000 individuals over a specific period.

The dashboard displays age-adjusted death rates on maps, charts, and tables, along with the number of deaths for each category. Hover over the map to view specific county statistics and compare sub-state level data with State of Minnesota statistics. Age-adjusted death rate is a mortality rate that has been modified to account for age differences in a population, allowing for more accurate comparisons across populations with different age structures.

Explore trends using maps, charts, and tables to monitor premature deaths and age-adjusted premature death rates. Premature deaths refer to deaths that occur before the expected age of death for a given population, often less than 75 years. Age-adjusted premature death rate adjusts the premature death rate to account for differences in age distribution across populations, allowing for accurate comparisons.
