Key findings:

Data from the National Vital Statistics System

• In 2014, infant mortality rates for the United States reached new lows for Hispanic, non-Hispanic white, non- Hispanic black, and Asian or Pacific Islander populations.

• From 2005 through 2014, declines in infant mortality rates were observed for all race and Hispanic-origin subgroups except among American Indian or Alaska Native persons. The largest declines were among infants of Asian or Pacific Islander (21%) and non- Hispanic black (20%) women.

• Declines were observed from 2005–2007 to 2012–2014 for all Hispanic subgroups. The largest declines occurred among infants of Cuban (19%) and Puerto Rican (17%) women.

• From 2005 through 2014, the infant mortality rate for sudden infant death syndrome declined 29%, which was the largest decline observed among the top five leading causes of infant death.
