What does this measure?

The number of deaths per year, expressed as a rate per 100,000 residents.

Why is this important?

Mortality rates are a measure of the overall health of a community, particularly since some of the most common causes of death, such as heart disease, can be prevented or mitigated through lifestyle changes, prevention efforts, early intervention, and better health care.

How is our region performing?

In 2017, there were 700 deaths per 100,000 residents in the region, above the rate for the state (610). The regional rate rose from 670 in 2013 to 706 in 2015, breaking a trend of declines in the past few years. Since 2000, the region's rate fell by 14%, less than the 24% decline for the state. The rate in the counties surrounding Monroe as a whole fell 14%. Orleans had the highest mortality rate in the area in 2017 (838), while Ontario had the lowest (675).

Notes about the data

Figures were adjusted for age and sex differences among county populations to allow for better comparisons.
