The National Vital Statistics System (NVSS), a part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), gathers and provides the most complete and comprehensive data on deaths in the United States. These data are collected from death certificates, and because it takes time to investigate, process and review certain causes of death, the final data are typically available eleven months after the end of the calendar year. When urgent public health issues arise, data is needed quickly to inform response efforts. In order to meet this need, the CDC releases provisional data in a quarterly dashboard or in special reports. Provisional data are preliminary, meaning that not all deaths in a given period are complete and the estimates provided in the snapshot in time may change as more information becomes available and data are finalized.
According to the CDC, the COVID-19 pandemic has claimed more than 1,043,020 lives across the U.S. as of September 14, 2022. In 2021, COVID-19 was the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. Provisional death data suggest that more deaths due to COVID-19 occurred in 2021 than in 2020.

America’s Health Rankings builds on the work of the United Health Foundation to draw attention to public health and better understand the health of various populations. Our platform provides relevant information that policymakers, public health officials, advocates and leaders can use to effect change in their communities.
We have developed detailed analyses on the health of key populations in the country, including women and children, seniors and those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, in addition to a deep dive into health disparities across the country.
