If you’re searching to know about the states with highest
infant mortality rates, you’ve come to the right place because we can provide
you this information. By using information from Statista 2014, Insider Monkey
has compiled a list of ten states with highest infant mortality rates. Let’s
find out if your state is one of them.
You’ll discover which those states are in our list below,
but before that, let’s say something more about this serious matter. According
to the CIA’s World Factbook, the US is in 169th place by the number of deaths
of infants under one year old, per 1,000 live births. The US had 6.16 infant
deaths per 1,000 live births in 2014. If we compare this rate to the one that
has the first country on this list – Afghanistan with 117.23 infant deaths –
then the US infant mortality rate doesn’t seem that high.
But if we choose to look at the more detailed picture,
pretty soon we will realize that the US has a very high infant mortality rate
when compared to other developed countries. In 2010, Finland and Japan had 2.3
infant deaths per 1,000 live births, while the US had 6.1. To read more, visit 10
