Abstract:

The North Carolina State Board of Health's Bureau of Vital Statistics research shows that there is a range in the rate of infant mortality across the state. From the extremes of 15.5 per thousand in Yancey County to 61.3 per thousand in Duplin County, the state average is 34.7 per thousand. However, it is not necessarily the location that dictates the survival but the conditions such as urban versus rural.
