| Notes: | Infant mortality rates varied considerably by State and within States by race and Hispanic origin of mother for 2003-2005. To obtain statistically reliable rates by race and Hispanic origin, three years of data were combined. Infant death rates are calculated by dividing the number of infant deaths in a calendar year by the number of live births registered in the same period. Infants are defined as children under one year of age. They are presented as rates per 1,000. |
