Crude death rates
Explore the crude death rate to analyze trends across different counties or statewide statistics. Data for missing or unknown counties is not included in this analysis. Crude death rate is a measure of the number of deaths in a given population, typically expressed per 100,000 individuals over a specific period.

Age-adjusted death rates
The dashboard displays age-adjusted death rates on maps, charts, and tables, along with the number of deaths for each category. Hover over the map to view specific county statistics and compare sub-state level data with State of Minnesota statistics. Age-adjusted death rate is a mortality rate that has been modified to account for age differences in a population, allowing for more accurate comparisons across populations with different age structures.

Premature deaths (<75 years) and age-adjusted rates
Explore trends using maps, charts, and tables to monitor premature deaths and age-adjusted premature death rates. Premature deaths refer to deaths that occur before the expected age of death for a given population, often less than 75 years. Age-adjusted premature death rate adjusts the premature death rate to account for differences in age distribution across populations, allowing for accurate comparisons.
