Definition

The rate per 1,000 live births of children who died before their first birthday by race/ethnicity. This indicator contains data in 5-year intervals. For example, 2019-2023 is reported simply as "2023".

Data Source

North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, State Center for Health Statistics: North Carolina Infant Mortality Report, 2023.

Notes

Although overlapping 5-year time periods are shown for this indicator, it is suggested to compare periods that do not overlap—for example, comparing 2017–2021 with 2022–2026 rates. This means waiting longer to identify a trend. However, in areas undergoing fundamental shifts in the size or composition of the population, change may be so substantial that it will be obvious after only a few years.

Data accessed October 2025.
