Infant Mortality
<br />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.
