The Bureau of the Census announces that nearly 100,000 deaths were due to tuberculosis in the death registration area of the United States in 1920, and if the rest of the United States had as many deaths from this cause in proportion to the population, the total number of deaths from tuberculosis in the entire United States for 1920 was about 122,000, whereas for 1919 the number is estimated as 132,000, or 10,000 more than for 1920. The trend of the tuberculosis death rate is downward. In the registration area of the 33 States which show rates for more than one year, 29 in the following table show their lowest rates for the year 1920. The tuberculosis death rate in the registration area in 1920 was 114.2 per 100,000 population, against 125.6 per 100,000 population for the year 1919. To permit better interstate comparisons for the year 1920, adjusted rates based on the standard million population have been calculated. The highest adjusted tuberculosis rate for 1920 is 215.7 per 100.000 population for the State of Colorado, and the lowest is 40.8 per 100,000 population for the adjoining State of Utah. The high rate for Colorado is evidence not of unhealthfulness of climate, but of the attractiveness of the Colorado climate to persons afflicted with tuberculosis. For the States in which at least 10 per cent of the population was colored, adjusted rates have been calculated separatory for the white and colored populations. In this group of States the highest adjusted tuberculosis rate for the white population is 137.6 per 100,000 for Kentucky, and the highest adjusted rate for the colored population is 354.9 per 100,000 population for the same State. The lowest adjusted tuberculosis rate for the white population is 54.2 for Mississippi, and the lowest for the colored population is 175.2 per 100.000 population for Florida.
