Hispanic deaths in Illinois decrease to 172 in week ending February 5

Healthinsurance 760x475

There were 172 Hispanic people who died in Illinois in the week ending February 5, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The data shows a decrease from the week before when 201 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.
