Infant mortality is the death of an infant 0-364 days old. Infant mortality in Indian River County <br /> fluctuated significantly between 2010 and 2013. The highest rate, 12.5 per 1,000 live births, was in <br /> 2011 and the lowest rate, 6.6 per 1,000 live births was in 2013. The infant mortality rate in Indian River <br /> was consistently higher than Florida during this time. Due to the relatively small number of infant <br /> deaths and infant births, small changes in the number of occurrences can greatly affect the rate. Table <br /> 34 shows the total infant mortality in Indian River and Florida. <br /> Table 34:Total Infant Mortality(0-364 days)in Indian River and Florida,2010,2011,2012,2013 <br /> IIUtlll�El° Infant Deaths.
