Week ending September 11: 25 deaths among Hispanic people in Alabama

Pharma

There were 25 Hispanic people who died in Alabama in the week ending September 11, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The data shows an increase from the week before when 20 people of Hispanic origin died.

Many records within the CDC are incomplete, as only 60 percent of death records are submitted within 10 days of death.

The Brookings Institute believes deaths among minority populations, specifically Hispanic and Blacks, are chronically underreported.

The U.S. Census defines Hispanic people as those who self-identify as such, often with relatives from regions such as Central and Southern America.
