The standard deviation (Std. Dev.) is a measure of absolute inequality and the units are deaths per 100 000 population. The coefficient of variation (Coef. of Var.) is a measure of relative inequality and is unitless. Italicised numbers are the rankings among causes. AIAN = non-Latino and non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native.
