CDC WONDER
CDC Wide-ranging ONline Data for Epidemiologic Research
What is it?
CDC's online query system for mortality data — every death in the U.S. by underlying cause, age, sex, race, geography, and year. The authoritative source for U.S. mortality statistics.
Why it matters
CHNA reports anchor mortality findings to WONDER because it is the federal source of record. State and county mortality rates per 100,000 residents come from here.
