Mortality and premature death

Age-adjusted all-cause mortality, premature-death percentage, and years of potential life lost.

Read the geography and period first

Population age, deprivation, access to care, and many disease-specific factors shape mortality. County placement is descriptive.

Western New York

Circles show approximate county centers and are sized by the selected value. They are not patient locations.

Eight-county comparison

Highest reported value to lowest

Placement is descriptive. “Highest” is not automatically “worst,” particularly for access, income, screening, and protective measures.
