MORTALITY STATISTICS FOB ?
SHOW LESSENED DEATH RATE
Washington, May 2 ? Mortality
statistics for tho registration area
ot tho United States for 19X1 arc
1 resented la a bullotln soon to bo
Issued by Director Durand, Bureau
ef tho Census, Department of Com
morco. It was prepared under tho
dlroctlon of Dr. Cressy I?. Wilbur,
1 chief statistician for vital statistics.
Tho total number of deaths re
turned for tho registration aroa of
the United Statos for tho year 1911
was 839,284. Tho estimated mid
year papulation of this aroa was
59,275,977, or 63.1 por cent of the
tuthl ncpulutlon of tho United Stutes
and tho death rnto for the year was
1.4.2 per 1,000. This Is tho lowest
death rato over recorded for tho
registration area.
Out of tho total of 839,284 de
cedents, 779,770, or 92.9 per cent,
were whites and 60,431 wore ne
groes (the latter Including all mix
tares of white and nogro blood,)
wlillo only 1,359 wero Indians, 1,060
Chinese, and 664 Japanese. The
pvrcentago of deaths of whito per
sons and of whito population is high
er in the registration area than in
tile United Status as a whole, be
cause none or the Southern statos
where tho greatest proportions of
negroes are found Is as yet Included
as a whole lu the registration area.
Out of the totut of 839.284 deaths
at all ages, 1,296 ? an unnecessarily
targe number ? were of unknown or
i.r stated age. No less than 1,054
of these were reported from the
rural part of tho registration states,
n conditio,) suggestivo of caroless
nojs on tho part of local registrars
in rural districts in accopting cer
tificates of death without tho state
ment of 'he ages of tho decedents.
Deducting the unknown or unstated
ages, ? ere remain 837,988 deaths
at known uges, of which 149,322,
or 17.8 per cent, wero of Infants
under 1 year of age, 209,482, or
25 Per cent, woro of children un
der 5 years of age, and 222,579, or
25.6 per cent, wero of persons 65
years of ago or over.
The percentago which deaths of
infants ui.der 1 year of age formed
of the total deaths at known ages
for the year (17. 8) was somewhat
less than that for 1910 (19.2). This
ratio, howevor, M not a reliable one
for the comparlsion of infant mor
tality.
There were 12,451 deaths from
typhoid fever in the registration
area of the United States during tho
year 1911, a slight decrease from th
uurabor for tho preceding yenr. The
death rate was 21 per 100,000 pop
ulation for 1911, 23.5 for 1910, and
31.1 for 1909. The rato for 1911
Is the lowest from typhoid fover
slaco the institution ot- tho annual
reports and probably the lowest on
record.
Scarlet revor, with 6,243 deaths,
or 8.8 por 100,000 population was
considerably less fatal than during
the years 1908 to 1910.
Measles causcd 5,922 deaths in
the registration area during 1911,
equivalent to a death rate of 10 per
100,000. The doath rate was some
wlint leas than that of the preced
ing year, 12.3, but exceeded that
for 1909, 9.6, and 1909, 9.9.
Of tho three children's diseases ?
measles, scarlet fover, and whoop
ing cough ? the last mentioned c&us
od more deaths during the period
1906 to 193 0 than elthor of the oth
ers. For 1911 there wore return
ed for the registration area 6,682
deaths, corresponding to a death
late of 11.3 per 100,000 population.
.. ~l.ll. ,11a.
io some uxiuiii u viznv.iv>- D^Oi
oaac, but with a wider rang? of
ago incidenco than measles, scarlet
fever, or whooping cough, diphthor
la caused nearly twice as many
deaths In 1911 us any of the other
threo. The death rato was 18.9 per
100,000 population, the lowest since
t.io beginning of tho series of annu
al reports In 1900.
Tho total number of douths from
all forms of tuberculosis In tho reg
istration aroa during 1911 was 94,
205, tho death rato being 158.9 per
100,000 ? slightly lowor than the
rates for tho preceding yoars, 160.3
and 160.8 for 1910 and 1909, re
spectively. The rates for tho past
threo years are considerably lowor
than tho usual avoragos for the
qulnqennlal periods 1901 to 1906,
192.6; and 1906 to 1910, 168.7.
Thero would appear to be a markod
roductlon In tho death rato from thl
disease, although tho rato for the
past throe years has remained prac
tically unchanged.
Cancor, which torm includes mal
> Ignant neoplasms of all kinds, caus
ed 44,024 deaths In tho registration
area In 1911. Tho death rate, 74.3
per 100, 0'H', was slightly lowor than
that for 1910, 76.2, but higher than
that for any earlier year for which
.-f cords nro available. The high
'est crudo death rate from cancer
i. none tho registration States was
for Vermont, 101 per 100,000 pop
ulation, n condition duo to the rel
atively high ago distribution of tho
population and tho negligible it
mount of immigration.
Thero were 1,060 doaths from a
cuto anterior poliomyelitis in tho
registration aroa during 1911 as
compared with 1,469 in 1910 and
069 in 1909. Prior to 1909 this dir?
ouse was not segregated from oth
or dlseas-M of tho spinal cord. The
diuth rate for 1911 was 1.8, a do
crease from that of 1910, 2.7; but
creator than that for 1909, 1.1.
Organic diseases of the heart
caused more deaths, S3, 525, than
any other disease or group of dis
eases shown in the Abridged Inter
national 1,1st, although the number
of death* from tuberculosis of all
forms, 94,205, was considerably
greater. Tho death rato for 1911,
110.9, was slightly lower than that
for tho preceding yoar, 141.5, but
tht- rato for each of these years for
the qutnqaennlal periods 1901 to
1905, 124.2; and 1906 to 1910,
Tho mortality from heart dlsoaso
s largely that of persons middle
und advanced age; hence th? age
distribution of population la an im
portant factor iu the rato.
Tho total n'tinber of deaths from
pneumonia of all forms in the reg
istration area in 1911 was 79.233,
tho death raio i?er 100,000 popula
tion being 133.7. Tho death rate
of the while population, 128.4, wad
about ono-iialf that of the colored.
The totrl number of doaths from
rfulrlde In fbo registration area for
1!>1_1 w:is '.>,622, an incroaso of 1,03
for the preceding yoar. The d**tb
rate, hawever, incroasod only from
16 to 16.2 per 100,000 and was low
er than that for 1909, 16.5; or 1908
1".8. There is a tendency to ap
parent Increase In tho death rato
from suicide.
Tho death rato of tho whlto pop
ulation in the registration area from
Milclde, 16., was higher than that of
lh;n colored population, 10.3. A
mong tho leglstration States, the
highest death rates from this cause
were in California, 30.1; Montana,
27. 8; Colorado, 21.7; Washington.
20.7; and Vertriont, 20.1; and umoig
tte cities of 100,000 population and
over San Francicso, 39.4; St. Louis,
37.7; Los Angeloe, 37.2; Denver,
35.6; and Oaland, k36.1.
Of the total number of doathg in
tho registration are.1 In 1911 clas
sified in this group, 54,028. more
t> an nine-tenths, 60,121, wero of an
accidental or undeflnod character,
the remulnder being due to homlcido
uc death rate from accidental and
unspecified vlolenco was 84. C per
100,000 population, which is slight
ly higher than the rato for tho pro
ceding year, 84.3; but lower than
t.io averages for tho consecutlvo
1-vriods 1901 to 1905, 84.9; and
1906 to 1910, 86. Homicide was re
ported as tho cause of 3,907 deaths
in 1911, tho rato bolng 6.6 per 100,
0 population.
Of tho death rates from violence
(excluslvo of suicide) - shown for
