Hispanic deaths in Illinois decrease to 122 in week ending September 3

Surgery

There were 122 Hispanic people who died in Illinois in the week ending September 3, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The data shows a decrease from the week before when 146 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.
