COVID-19 Impacts on Mortality by Race/Ethnicity and Sex

Males and the Hispanic, American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) populations experienced a disproportionately large number of deaths from 2019 to 2020, the year that includes the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Deaths for the total U.S. population increased 19% in 2020, but some groups were more affected than others, according to the U.S. Census Bureau?s Vintage 2022 Population Estimates released yesterday ? the first to contain final 2020 mortality data by demographic characteristics.
