1.
The number of deaths in this table is based on the deceased's usual place of residence.
2.
Age attained at the last birthday preceding death.
3.
For "Age at time of death, under 1 year", the mortality rate is based on live births in the calendar year.
4.
For "Age at time of death, 1 to 4 years", the mortality rate is based on population estimates for 0 to 4 year olds less live births in the calendar year.
5.
For "Age at time of death", each age group except "All ages", the mortality rate represents the age-specific death rate or the number of deaths in a particular age group during a given year per 100,000 population in the same age group as of July 1 of the same year.
6.
Starting in 2005, the population estimates used to calculate the mortality rate are presented in the Appendix II of the publication "Mortality Summary List of Causes" (catalogue number  84F0209XIE).
7.
The cause of death tabulated is the underlying cause of death. This is defined as (a) the disease or injury which initiated the train of events leading directly to death, or (b) the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced the fatal injury. The underlying cause is selected from the conditions listed on the medical certificate of cause of death.
