Definition
Infant mortality is the death of a live-born baby during the first year of life. The infant mortality rate is the death rate of live-born babies during the first year of life. The rate is the number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births.

Why do we measure this?
Infant mortality and the infant mortality rate reflect the health and well-being of the population’s women of reproductive age and their infants as well as the quality of the health care available. Infant mortality information is used by local governments and organizations to identify areas in need and designate available resources.

Statistical Note

Rates based on small numbers of events may be encountered while using this system. These rates are considered unstable if they are based on fewer than 5 events or if the denominator (population at risk) is fewer than 20. An erratic trend line illustrates this instability. Use of this tool is for analytical and statistical purposes only.

Data Note(s): Deaths occurring within 364 days of birth. Beginning in 2004, the state total for the denominator in this calculation may be greater than the sum of county totals due to an unknown county of residence on some records.

All multi-year counts are a sum of the selected years, not an average.
Data for 1970-78, 1979-98, and 1999-present are not fully comparable due to changes in coding causes of death. Consequently, increases or decreases in 1979 and 1999 may not be due to changes in disease trends but rather coding changes. Starting with 2003 deaths, the sum of the deaths from all counties will not equal the total number of resident deaths due to an unknown county of residence on some records.
