Description:In all regions of the United States, cold-related mortality during 2010–2013 was higher in nonmetropolitan areas than in metropolitan areas. Age-adjusted cold-related death rates in nonmetropolitan areas of the West were markedly higher than those in the other regions (20.5 deaths per 1 million population compared with 4.5–7.8). Age-adjusted cold-related death rates in metropolitan areas ranged from 2.9 to 5.0 deaths per 1 million population, with the South having the lowest rate.
