a The number of deaths for infant mortality is based on a record weight from the linked birth and infant death file, which adjusts for the approximately 2-3% of records each year that cannot be linked to their corresponding birth certificates.
b Education data are for mothers age 20 and over only.
* Data do not meet the criteria for statistical reliability, data quality, or confidentiality (based on < 20 deaths).
