Why This Indicator Matters

Once a child survives the first year of life, mortality drops sharply. Child deaths are the number of deaths from all causes per 100,000 children ages 1-14 years. The rate is a reflection of the physical, mental, and emotional health of children. Motor vehicle crashes are a significant cause of child deaths in South Dakota.
