The map presents age-adjusted average annual heart disease death rates per 100,000 people for adults aged 35 and over, aggregated at the county level across the United States from 2008 to 2010; rates range from under 306 to over 846, with the highest concentrations in the Southeast and parts of the Midwest. Data were sourced from the National Vital Statistics System and the National Center for Health Statistics, with spatial smoothing applied to improve reliability in low-population counties. Alaska and Hawaii are shown in insets, and gray areas indicate insufficient data.
