This database reports the number of deaths, crude death rates, and age-adjusted death rates in the U.S., states, and all counties by International Classification of Disease, Version 10 (ICD-10) Chapters and Sub-chapters.  (Note that the CDC ceased reporting age-adjusted death rates for counties in 2020.)  The most common causes of death by ICD Chapter are diseases of the circulatory system (31% in the latest year); neoplasms, or cancers (24%); external causes of morbidity and mortality (8%), mental and behavioural disorders (6%), and diseases of the nervous system (6%).  See ICD-10 for complete descriptions of cause of death categories.
