Leading causes of death by state Death rates for all causes and the leading causes of death in the United States. Age-adjusted death rates per 100,000 population (2000 U.S. standard population) for calendar year 2024 (the 12 months ending with the fourth quarter of 2024), by state of residence, from NCHS provisional mortality estimates based on death certificates. Provisional figures can change when final 2024 data are released, and causes with lagged investigations (such as drug overdoses and homicides) are most likely to be revised.
