Estimates of the number of people that die for a specific group

The search output can be shown using different metrics. The default display is in MicroMorts (chance in a million of dying), but you can also see percent of MicroMorts, estimates of the annual number of deaths, or population size. Tutorials 6 goes into detail on the various output displays.

Figure One

Three displays for accident risk for Pennsylvania women compared across race: MicroMorts, estimated number of deaths in a year, population size for each age category race category combination. For example, black women 50-59 years old in Pennsylvania have a 218 out of a million chance of dying in an accident next year, and 15 are expected to die out of a population of 69,287 of black women.
