United States Maternal Mortality Rates 2018-2022

United States Maternal Mortality Rates 2018-2022

GEOG-220 Final Project

This project displays United States maternal mortality rates between 2019-2022 (collected from the CDC) and includes specific racial distributions for maternal mortality with data collected in 2019. The differences between death rates reveal systemic racism in the healthcare system. Racial demographic data from 2013 is also included to compare the rates of Black maternal mortality to the total Black population in each state. Finally, 2030 projections of maternal mortality rates by county in New York state is used to show that high rates of Black maternal deaths do not occur in regions with higher concentrations of Black people.
