Infant Mortality

Infant mortality measures the number of deaths among children less than one year of age per 1,000 live births. Infant mortality represents the health of the most vulnerable age group (those under 365 days). Understanding the child mortality rate in a county can help interpret the years of potential life lost (YPLL) rate. We provide both the infant mortality rate and the number of infant deaths.
