How We Die: An Interactive Mortality Explorer

In this episode, we look at how Americans die at different ages using U.S. mortality data from the CDC. John walks through an interactive mortality data tool he built with multiple interactive charts showing broad causes of death by overall rank, age at death, and over time, along with detailed subcauses.The charts have filters for sex, age range, time period, and metric. We discuss the patterns that stand out and why the tool is useful.
