Definition

The rate of deaths from all causes to youth ages 15 to 19. The rate is per 10,000 youth ages 15 to 19. The data are reported by the youth's place of residence, not the place of death. The 5-year average means that the year shown represents the last year of a five-year period, so 2024 is for the years 2020-2024.

Data Source

Notes

LNE (Low number event): Data has been suppressed to preserve confidentiality. Maine CDC does this for both rates and numbers when there are fewer than 6 events at a sub-state, such as county, level.

Data represent five-year averages, with the ultimate year of the five-year spread indicated here; 2024 represents the average of data from 2020-2024, 2023 represents data from 2019-2023, etc. Rates are per 10,000 youth ages 15 to 19.
