Notes: CI: confidence intervals; SE: standard error.

Overall SVI and the four SVI domains were defined and calculated by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.

Age-adjusted rates per 100,000 population were calculated using the direct method and the 2000 U.S. standard population.

Data for SVI from 2018; Data for fatal injury from 2015 to 2019.
