Mortality Query Measure Selection

Death/Mortality Data

The mortality data in this IBIS-Q query module have been derived from death certificates in participation with the National Vital Statistics System. Mortality data are maintained and provided by the New Mexico Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics. They include virtually all deaths of New Mexico residents, including deaths that happened outside the state.

Population Data

{{class BlueText NOTE: On December 10, 2024, the NM-IBIS population estimates from **2010 through 2023** were updated with newly-published estimates. Data from the 2020 decennial census were used to update the estimates. Rates calculated using the NM-IBIS and NMTracking web-based queries will be affected. We apologize for any inconvenience.}}

Getting Started

* Click on the blue bars to see available measures. * Click on a measure under the "Jump to Default Query Result" column to get the default query result for that measure. * Click on a measure under the "Customize Your Query First" column to go to the query bilder page and design your own query for that measure.

    • Underlying Causes of Death
