Age-Adjusted Death Rate by County, New Jersey, 2020

Why Is This Important?

Age-adjusted death rates are better than crude death rates as indicators of relative risk when comparing mortality across geographic areas or between gender or racial/ethnic subgroups of the population that have different age compositions.
