NOTES: People of Hispanic origin may be of any race. Infant deaths are weighted to adjust for the 1.1% of infant death records not linked to their corresponding birth certificates. The neonatal and postneonatal mortality rates combined may not exactly add to totals due to rounding. Data for infants of Dominican women are available starting with the 2019 period linked birth/infant death data files.
