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. Therefore, because of number rounding, the number of deaths for subgroups may not add to the total.
b Education data are for mothers age 20 and older only.
* Data do not meet the criteria for statistical reliability, data quality or confidentiality (based on < 20 deaths).
Key: AI/AN: American Indian or Alaska Native; API: Asian or Pacific Islander; SE: standard error.
