Table 35 shows infant death per 1,000 live births by race in Indian River County and Florida from 2009 to 2013. Infant death rate was highest among nonwhites in both in Indian River County and Florida. There was a significant increase among Black and other races in the county in 2012 and then the rate decreased significantly in 2013. The infant mortality rate in Indian River was consistently higher than Florida during the past several years. Due to the relatively small number of infant deaths and infant births, small changes in the number of occurrences will significantly affect the rate.
