Cardiovascular Disease Death Rates, Trends, and Excess Death Rates Among US Adults (35+) by County and Age Group – 2010-2020

This dataset documents cardiovascular disease (CVD) death rates, relative and absolute excess death rates, and trends. Specifically, this report presents county (or county equivalent) estimates of CVD death rates in 2000-2020, trends during 2010-2019, and relative and absolute excess death rates in 2020 by age group (ages 35–64 years, ages 65 years and older). All estimates were generated using a Bayesian spatiotemporal model and a smoothed over space, time, and 10-year age groups. Rates are age-standardized in 10-year age groups using the 2010 US population. Data source: National Vital Statistics System.
