Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive map compares U.S. mortality rates with modelled estimates of how many deaths are expected today, using CDC/NCHS statistics.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-06 issue.

For: Readers exploring U.S. mortality statistics
Worth noticing: Its integer-allocation method makes state estimates sum to the national estimate, while rate and count maps answer different questions.

Field notes

The method combines a newer provisional annual baseline with monthly seasonality from validated final data, then allocates state counts using each state's share of final 2024 resident deaths. A separate rate view uses age-adjusted figures to support comparisons between states; the page cautions that provisional records may be revised and that death certificates take time to process.
