Cumulative deaths involving COVID-19 reported to NCHS by sex and age in years, in the United States.

This visualization provides weekly data on the number of deaths from all causes by jurisdiction of occurrence and age group. Counts of deaths in more recent weeks can be compared with counts from earlier years to determine if the number is higher than expected.

Estimates of excess deaths can provide information about the burden of mortality potentially related to COVID-19, beyond the number of deaths that are directly attributed to COVID-19. Excess deaths are typically defined as the difference between observed numbers of deaths and expected numbers. This visualization provides weekly data on excess deaths by jurisdiction of occurrence. Counts of deaths in more recent weeks are compared with historical trends to determine whether the number of deaths is significantly higher than expected.

Estimates of excess deaths can be calculated in a variety of ways, and will vary depending on the methodology and assumptions about how many deaths are expected to occur. Estimates of excess deaths presented in this webpage were calculated using Farrington surveillance algorithms (1). For each jurisdiction, a model is used to generate a set of expected counts, and the upper bound of the 95% Confidence Intervals (95% CI) of these expected counts is used as a threshold to estimate excess deaths. Observed counts are compared to these upper bound estimates to determine whether a significant increase in deaths has occurred. Provisional counts are weighted to account for potential underreporting in the most recent weeks. However, data for the most recent week(s) are still likely to be incomplete. Only about 60% of deaths are reported within 10 days of the date of death, and there is considerable variation by jurisdiction. More detail about the methods, weighting, data, and limitations can be found in the Technical Notes.

Provisional count of deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by United States county of occurrence, from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

National provisional drug overdose deaths by month and 2013 NCHS Urban–Rural Classification Scheme for Counties. Drug overdose deaths are identified using underlying cause-of-death codes from the Tenth Revision of ICD (ICD–10): X40–X44 (unintentional), X60–X64 (suicide), X85 (homicide), and Y10–Y14 (undetermined). Deaths are based on the county of residence in the United States. Death counts provided are for “12-month ending periods,” defined as the number of deaths occurring in the 12-month period ending in the month indicated. Estimates for 2020 are based on provisional data. Estimates for 2018 and 2019 are based on final data.

County data on race and Hispanic origin is available for counties with more than 100 COVID-19 deaths. Deaths are cumulative from the week ending January 4, 2020 to the most recent reporting week, and based on county of occurrence. Data is provisional.

Urban-rural classification is based on the 2013 National Center for Health Statistics Urban-Rural Classification Scheme for Counties (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data_access/urban_rural.htm).

Provisional count of deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the United States by week of death and by hospital referral region (HRR). HRR is determined by county of occurrence. Weekly weighted counts of deaths from all causes and due to COVID-19 are provided by HRR overall and for decedents 65 years and older. The weighted counts by HRRs are based on published methods for aggregating county-level data to HRRs. More detail about aggregating to HRRs from counties can be found in the following: https://github.com/Dartmouth-DAC/covid-19-hrr-mapping
