| Note: | Rates are per 1,000 live births. Adding and subtracting the number shown after the ± symbol from the rate creates a confidence interval indicating that the true rate lies between the lower and upper bounds of this interval with 95 % statistical confidence. Between 2004-2008, multi-racial mothers were reported as "other" and are not included in these infant death rates. Between 2009-2019, race was bridged, meaning that multi-racial mothers were divided among four race categories (mostly White and Black mothers). Starting in 2020, multi-racial data was not bridged, and multi-racial mothers were not used for calculations in this table. This change in coding results in higher rates between 2009-2019, and lower White and Black infant death rates during periods when the race was not bridged. |
