1) Questions About Death Rates - Data Unreliable

g) Why are death rates sometimes flagged as "Unreliable" or "Suppressed"?

Death rates based on counts of less than twenty… are flagged as "Unreliable". A death rate based on fewer than 20 deaths has a relative standard error (RSE(R)) of 23 percent or more. A RES(R) of 23 percent is considered statistically unreliable.

Death counts and death rates are "Suppressed" when the data meets the criteria for confidentiality constraints. See Assurance of Confidentiality for more information.1
