Data are from the State of California, Department of Public Health, California Vital Data (Cal-ViDa), accessed February 5, 2023. 2022 data are through November. For death rate calculations by race and ethnicity, <11 was assumed to be 5. Deaths are by place of residence, not place of death. Leading causes of death include Accidents (unintentional injuries); Alzheimer’s Disease; Assault (Homicide); Cerebrovascular diseases (Stroke); Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis (Liver Disease); Chronic Lower Respiratory Diseases; Diabetes mellitus (Diabetes); Diseases of heart (Heart Disease); Essential hypertension and hypertensive renal disease (Hypertension); Influenza & Pneumonia; Intentional self-harm (Suicide), Malignant neoplasms (Cancer); Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis (Nephritis); and Parkinson’s Disease. COVID-19 deaths are from the California COVID-19 State Dashboard via the CalHHS Open Data Portal (accessed 2/5/23). Deaths by race and ethnicity and adjusted to the population of each racial and ethnic group using the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates for 2021. COVID deaths for each racial and ethnic group were not age-adjusted due to lack of available data. The reporting of COVID data by race and ethnicity does not specifically state whether racial groups are non-Hispanic or Latino, or if they are exclusive categories; as such, analyses of the Multiple & Other share of population-adjusted deaths from COVID should be used cautiously with this in mind.
