Region of Birth and Mortality of Blacks in the United States

MICHAEL GREENBERG and DONA SCHNEIDER

Department of Urban Studies and Community Health, Graduate Program in Public Health, Rutgers University, Kilmer Campus New Brunswick, NJ 08903, USA

Analysis of black American death rates by region of birth and region of residence showed that southern-born blacks had the highest mortality rates and western-born blacks the lowest mortality rates. Blacks born in the northeast, midwest, and outside the US had rates intermediate between southern and western-born black rates. Blacks born in one region and who died in another had age-specific and age-adjusted mortality rates similar to their region of birth rather than their region of residence.

Received 1 July 1991
