UTopiAH. This is Part of a series for comparing census based life expectancy and death rate tables, ranking states by how long we live, from 1960 to 2015. Included are medical conditions rating Utah’s #1 health rankings. Since 2012 state rankings are now correlated to voting in the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections, with Blue states on top, and Red states at the bottom. Utopia is Sir Thomas More’s (1516) perfect place to live, and with a slight variation in spelling, perfectly describes Utah.

Part 19. ‘CRUDE’ death rate, also the method to compare states from 1940 to 2011, and matched to results of the 2016 Presidential election Red State versus Blue State.

Table 12. Number of deaths, death rates, and age-adjusted death rates for major causes of death: United States, each state, p. 49

All causes sorted by death rate population – column D Number Rate1 Rates per 100,000 population;

‘’Mortality experience in 2015

• In 2015, a total of 2,712,630 resident deaths were registered in the United States, yielding a crude death rate of 844.0 per 100,000 population.
• The age-adjusted death rate, which accounts for the aging of the population, was 733.1 deaths per 100,000 U.S. standard population.’’

Sort by Column D, NVSR called this the ‘CRUDE’ death rate, also the method to compare states from 1940 to 2011, and matched to results of the 2016 Presidential election Red State versus Blue State. Note Blue states are distributed among all 5 quintiles (every 10 ranks)

Table 12. Number of deaths, death rates, and age-adjusted death rates for major causes of death: United States, each state, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and Northern Marianas, 2015—Con.

[Rates per 100,000 population; Life expectancy: The expected average number of years of life remaining at a given age. It is denoted by ex , which means the average number of subsequent years of life for someone now aged x. Life expectancy estimates for 2015 are based on a methodology first implemented with 2008 final mortality data (4). Life expectancies for 2014 were revised using updated Medicare data; therefore, figures may differ from those previously published (5).

Data source and methods

The data shown in this report reflect information collected by NCHS for 2014 and 2015 from death certificates filed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia and compiled into national data known as the National Vital Statistics System. Death rates shown in this report are calculated based on postcensal population estimates as of July 1, 2014, and July 1, 2015, which are consistent with the April 1, 2010, census. Differences between death rates were evaluated using a two-tailed z test.

National Center for Health Statistics

The above NVSS explains that the longevity was changed in 2008, to favor Blue state over Red states.
