The median age at death is calculated for each municipality in Allegheny County. Data is based on the decedent's residence at the time of death, not the location where the death occurred. Median age by municipality is based on “official” death records that have been released by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Data is broken out by race (white/black), and also includes a count of deaths for City of Pittsburgh neighborhoods and Allegheny County Municipalities.

This data includes several different tables presenting counts of births by race (total, Black, white) by Census Tract aggregated over a five-year period (2014-18). Data extracted from Pennsylvania's Vital Statistics Database with the following disclaimer: "These data were provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. The Department specifically disclaims responsibility for any analyses, interpretations, or conclusions." Census tract of residence was determined using address-level data. Records were excluded from analysis if address was missing or unmatched to a census tract (≈1% records). Census tracts starting with 980x.xx, 981x.xx, and 982x.xx were also excluded due to a geocoding error. 2014 used a different methodology to assign census tract compared to years 2015-2018. Counts < 5 are censored and displayed as "None". Census-tract-level counts may not equal county-level counts when summed due to censored data or missing data. For cause of death, underlying cause of death from the death certificate is used and is categorized based on ICD-10 codes, defined below.

This dataset presents the age-adjusted death rates for the 10 leading causes of death in the United States beginning in 1999. Data are based on information from all resident death certificates filed in the 50 states and the District of Columbia using demographic and medical characteristics. Age-adjusted death rates (per 100,000 population) are based on the 2000 U.S. standard population. Populations used for computing death rates after 2010 are postcensal estimates based on the 2010 census, estimated as of July 1, 2010. Rates for census years are based on populations enumerated in the corresponding censuses. Rates for non-census years before 2010 are revised using updated intercensal population estimates and may differ from rates previously published. Causes of death classified by the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD–10) are ranked according to the number of deaths assigned to rankable causes. Cause of death statistics are based on the underlying cause of death.
