Table 35 shows infant death per 1,000 live births by race in Indian River County and Florida from 2009 <br />to 2013. Infant death rate was highest among nonwhites in both in Indian River County and Florida. <br />There was a significant increase among Black and other races in the county in 2012 and then the rate <br />decreased significantly in 2013. The infant mortality rate in Indian River was consistently higher than <br />Florida during the past several years. Due to the relatively small number of infant deaths and infant <br />births, small changes in the number of occurrences will significantly affect the rate. <br />Table 35: Infant Deaths per 1,000 Live Births by Race in Indian River and Florida, 2009- 2013 <br />Year <br />2009 <br />Indian River <br />oriifa <br />White <br />Black & Other <br />TOTAL <br />White <br />Black & <br />Other <br />TOTAL <br />, ount <br />Rate <br />Count <br />Rate <br />Count <br />Rate <br />Rate <br />Rate <br />Rate <br />4 <br />3.9 <br />2 <br />8 <br />6 <br />4.7 <br />4.9 <br />12.1 <br />6.9 <br />2010 <br />4 <br />4.6 <br />7 <br />24.2 <br />11 <br />8.4 <br />4.9 <br />10.8 <br />6.5 <br />2011 <br />8 <br />10.3 <br />8 <br />28 <br />16 <br />12.5 <br />4.6 <br />11.1 <br />6.4 <br />2012 <br />3 <br />3.9 <br />9 <br />33.5 <br />12 <br />9.6 <br />4.6 <br />9.7 <br />6.0 <br />2013 <br />2 <br />2.7 <br />6 <br />22.8 <br />8 <br />6.6 <br />4.6 <br />10 <br />6.1 <br />FlondaChARTS, Flonda Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics, <br />Compiled by: Health Council of Southeast Florida 2014 <br />Table 36 shows fetal deaths in Indian River and Florida from 2009 to 2013.
