— Because there was no information available on deaths by sex for 1910–1913 and 1917, age-adjusted death rates for males and females based on the year 2000 standard population were not calculated for those years.
1 Rates per 100,000 population computed by the direct method, using as the standard population the age distribution of the total population of the United States as enumerated in 1940 and 2000.
2 Deaths based on a 50-percent sample.
3 Reporting States increased from 10 States and the District of Columbia in 1900 to the entire contiguous United States in 1933.
