Additionally, (7,519) deaths are recorded as “other race”. Of the approximately 1,125,000 cumulative official COVID-19 deaths in the U.S., these are the numbers of lives lost by group: Asian (35,152, Black (155,136), Indigenous (11,955), Latino (170,422), Pacific Islander (2,289) and white Americans (742,505).

Also, time series data used in this report’s figures lags behind these cumulative numbers due to incompleteness of recent data. Note: these numbers are sourced from this CDC dataset, the total count of which sometimes differs slightly from the total count reported on the CDC’s primary mortality landing page. KEY FINDINGS (from data through April 12, 2023):
Now let’s turn to what the data tells us about national trends this month. At one extreme, for example, New York sees its worst wave in the spring of 2020, while at the other, Vermont’s excess mortality is consistently highest in 2022. Although it doesn’t specifically include race and ethnicity, it does avoid the complications around definitions of a “COVID-19 death” by using all deaths in the calculation, and it affirms the timing patterns we’ve seen in the analyses for this update. In addition, we recently put together another data visualization related to timing of mortality among states - a look at excess mortality from the last six years, by state. In February, we isolated recent rates by state, and in December, we highlighted how data from our state-level charts also shows that the timing of COVID mortality for different racial and ethnic groups has varied widely among states and even within a state. After adjusting for age, white Americans have the second- lowest mortality rate (see more below).Īlso notable is that the crude mortality rate by racial or ethnic group varies significantly by state. An important caveat, however, is that the crude mortality rate numbers are not age-adjusted. The cumulative white crude mortality rate is now higher than all racial and ethnic groups except for Indigenous Americans (although it’s just barely above Black and Pacific Islander Americans).
