Infant Mortality
Captions available
The idea
Infant mortality, death before age one, marks a society's health: about five point four per thousand US births in twenty twenty, against Slovenia's one point five.
In practice
Within the US, rates from two point three for Chinese American infants to eleven point two for Black infants.
Where people slip
The disparities are tied to economic and community inequality and to access to care.
