Supplementary notes

* "Includes data from Washington, D.C., and all states excepting Alaska, Hawaii and Wyoming, which have reported fewer than 10 White deaths. Data for Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and West Virginia were obtained from the CDC with the caution that, for the latter three states, total data suppression occurred for deaths among populations of color; therefore White deaths as a percentage of all known race deaths is not appropriate and not shown. States employ varying methods for reporting race and ethnicity data. Population figures shown here align with method used by each state. Some states report Latino ethnicity overlapping with race; in these states, Latinos who also identify as White race (or who were identified as such by others) will be represented in these deaths."
