Source: CDC, National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Provisional Multiple Cause of Death on CDC WONDER Online Database. Data are based on information from all death certificates filed in the vital records offices of the 50 states and the District of Columbia through the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program. Deaths of nonresidents (for example, nonresident aliens, nationals living abroad, residents of Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and other US territories) and fetal deaths are excluded. Accessed at CDC Wonder on November 12, 2023. CDC WONDER dataset documentation and technical methods can be accessed here.
* Rates are age-adjusted per 100,000 US standard population in 2000 using the following age group distribution (in years): <1, 1–4, 5–14, 15–24, 25–34, 35–44, 45–54, 55–64, 65–74, 75–84, and ≥85. For age-adjusted death rates, the age-specific death rate is rounded to one decimal place before proceeding to the next step in the calculation of age-adjusted death rates for NCHS Multiple Cause of Death on CDC WONDER. This rounding step may affect the precision of rates calculated for small numbers of deaths. Missing data are not included.
† Cause of death is defined as one of the multiple causes of death and is based on the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes B16, B17.0, B18.0, B18.1 (hepatitis B).
UR: Unreliable rates. Death counts that were less than 20 were not displayed due to the instability associated with those rates.
State or jurisdiction listed in order of increasing rate and then alphabetical order.

States or jurisdictions are grouped in quintiles based on the distribution of the reported rates of death per 100,000 population. During 2022, the reported rate of hepatitis B-related deaths was unreliable (death counts less than 20) and not shown for 22 jurisdictions. Among states with death rates available, the states in the lowest category of 0.00–0.34 deaths per 100,000 population include (in order of increasing rate) Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Florida, New Jersey, and Ohio. The states in the highest category of 0.69–1.05 deaths per 100,000 population include (in order of increasing rate) Washington, California, Kentucky, Oregon, Oklahoma, and Hawaii.
