Note: Age-adjusted death rates are based on age-specific death rates per 100,000 population in specified group. Age-adjusted death rates are computed by the direct method, using the standard population of the age distribution of the total population of the United States as projected for the year 2000. The table displays deaths reported with an underlying cause of death of COVID‐19 and can have more than one related cause of death.

Asterisk (*) indicates that data do not meet standards of reliability or precision.

COVID‐19 deaths were classified using ICD-10 U07.1 as the underlying cause of death.
