94.2%?


The chart shows 3.4%

Any I find it hard to believe that 94.2% of black males die from an assault. That number seems impossibly high.

ETA: Nvm, I see its 94.2 deaths per 100,000 deaths of black males aged 25-29, which makes sense why cancer is so low.

don't those things state in per 1,000 people or something.


ETA:

Annual mortality rates are reported as deaths per 100,000 black men ages 25 to 29. Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015. *Figure is the median of 2013-2018 mortality rate calculated in PNAS study led by Frank Edwards.


it is always important to include all information provided. So 92.4 / 100,000 people.
