Example of Scaling Mortality to a Standard Age Group Distribution
The goal here is to somewhat control for changes in this population's
demographics over time. This is just one big variable in the mix, but it
is very important as there are many more people are living longer.
A person's age range is not always known for every death.
10,000 per million equals 1%.
In 2000, United States had an
estimated
2,403,196 deaths, or
8,557
per million.

Data Sources
Population Statistics
2017-2019 — Population by United States Jurisdictions
2015-2020 — All-Cause Mortality for United States Jurisdictions
Used for 2015-2020 weekly data, but only for 2017-2020 annual data.
National Center for Health Statistics. Weekly counts of deaths by jurisdiction and age group.
Available from:
data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Weekly-counts-of-deaths-by-jurisdiction-and-age-gr/y5bj-9g5w/
Weighted (predicted) provisional counts are used in these graphs. Data imported 3/1/21.
"Both unweighted and weighted (predicted) provisional counts are provided.
Weighting of provisional counts is done to account for potential underreporting
in the most recent weeks. However, data for the most recent week(s) are still
likely to be incomplete. Only about 60% of deaths are reported within 10 days
of the date of death, and there is considerable variation by jurisdiction and age.
The completeness of provisional data varies by cause of death and by age group.
However, the weights applied do not account for this variability. Therefore,
the predicted numbers of deaths may be too low for some age groups and causes of death.
For example, provisional data on deaths among younger age groups is typically
less complete than among older age groups. Predicted counts may therefore
be too low among the younger age groups. More detail about the methods,
weighting, data, and limitations can be found in the Technical Notes."
