Over­all, if we factor out deaths caused by aging, the mor­tal­ity rate for black men—from all causes—in the United States is 1,104 per 100,000, ac­cord­ing to the Cen­ters for Dis­ease Con­trol and Pre­ven­tion. For white men, the mor­tal­ity rate is 878.5 deaths per 100,000. For white wo­men, that fig­ure is 630.8 per 100,000; for black wo­men, it’s 752.5.
