Highest deaths by state

Deaths, annual.

This measure has no better end. The order describes the states, it does not rank them — see the other direction.

Deaths recorded in the latest Census Population Estimates year. This is a raw count of people, so it naturally rises with the size of a place; the natural-change rate remains available when comparing places of very different sizes.
