Notes:

PDeaths reported to the Michigan Vital Records office may be delayed by 7 days. Verifying the cause of death, and processing the records from administrative records may further delay the reports of deaths for statistical purposes. The cause of deaths due to external injuries are determined by a medical examiner. Homicide coding is often not determined for several months after the death occurred.

Most causes of deaths are not coded immediately after the original death was reported. Lower counts of specific causes of death for more recent months should be considered a result of delayed coding, not a reduction in the counts of deaths themselves. The underlying cause of death is the condition giving rise to the chain of events leading to death. Starting January 1, 1999, the underlying causes of death were classified in accordance with the Tenth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD–10), a coding structure developed by the World Health Organization. Homicide deaths were classified using ICD-10 codes U01-U02,X85-Y09,Y87.1.

Age-adjusted rates are per 100,000 population.
