Download or read book U S Unintentional Fire Death Rates by State written by John Raymond Hall and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-term trend in fire death rates per million population has been sloping substantially downward for nearly every state since 1980. In the five most recent years analyzed (2000-2004), Mississippi had the highest average fire death rate, and states of the southeast accounted for 10 of the 12 highest rates, with Rhode Island and Oklahoma as exceptions. When these five-year average rates are compared to state differences, several factors show notable correlations, including education (38% of statistical variations explained), race (35%), smoking (28%), poverty (28%), alcohol (21%), and rural (15%). Alcohol use was negatively correlated: the more people who drink, the lower the fire death rate. All but this last finding is consistent with findings in other studies of socioeconomic and demographic factors related to measures of fire loss.

Download or read book Analysis of Residential Fire Deaths in the United States written by United States Fire Administration and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The data used in this analysis was obtained from the National Center for Health Statistics. The information comes from death certificates, one of which, signed by a doctor, is filed for each death. The figures used are not projections or estimates, but an actual count, like the Census. The data is presented, and comparisons made, on the basis of death rates; i.e. deaths per million persons per year. The method was chosen because the absolute number of deaths in a given subgroup may be misleading if the population in that group is quite small, as in elderly persons 85 and older. Measuring risk by death rate is in common and international use in assessing health hazards. Population figures used were obtained from the United States Bureau of Census. Special attention is given to trends over time, and to age groups, 0-4 and 70-74, which are considered to be representative high-risk groups.

Download or read book Demographic and Other Characteristics Related to Fire Deaths Or Injuries written by National Fire Protection Association. Fire Analysis and Research Division and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The risk of fire death and injury varies by age group, race, region, and community size. Children under five and adults 65 or older face the highest risk of fire death, although they do not account for the majority of fire fatalities. The risk of non-fatal fire injury is highest for those between 20 and 49. Higher fire death rates are seen in states with larger percentages of people who possess one or more of the following characteristics: are black, poor, smoke, have less formal education, or who live in rural areas. In more affluent areas, race played less of a role. The South and Midwest had the highest fire death rates per million population in 2004-2008. The rate for the rural South was the highest by far.
