Figure Summary: This line graph presents trends in child death rates by race/ethnicity from 2015-2024. All racial/ethnic groups presented are mutually exclusive categories. Rates are presented per 100,000 child population (ages 0-17) in that racial/ethnic group. Racial categories have changed from prior years and now reflect single race categories and multi-race. Death rates prior to 2024 have been recalculated using the latest population estimates available. As a result of changes in racial classification, comparisons with prior reports that did not use the same racial classifications are not advised. The table below presents the data in tabular form.
