According to 1981–2009 data, homicide accounts for 16,000–26,000 deaths annually in the United States and ranks within the top four leading causes of death among U.S. residents aged 1–40 years (The homicide analysis and discussion that follow are part of the second CHDIR and update information presented in the first CHDIR (To assess disparities in homicide rates in the United States, CDC analyzed data from the CDC National Vital Statistics System (NVSS), the same data source used for the 2011 CHDIR on homicides (This report summarizes the homicide data by providing the number, proportion, and rates of homicides by age, sex, and race/ethnicity for the year 2009; providing the homicide rates by U.S. state for the year 2009; and comparing 2009 with 2007 data. Crude homicide rates,* by state — National Vital Statistics System, United States, 2009 † * Number of deaths per 100,000 population. Third, racial misclassification might result in overestimated homicide rates for non-Hispanic blacks and non-Hispanic whites and underestimated rates for AI/ANs, A/PIs, and Hispanics (Effective evidence-based strategies to reduce violence are available (The findings in this report are based, in part, on contributions by Nimeshkumar Patel. None of the demographic groups had significantly higher rates in 2009 compared with 2007.Among males, the risk for homicide was greatest among non-Hispanic blacks aged 15–29 years in both 2007 and 2009 (Among females, the homicide rates also were generally higher among racial/ethnic minorities (Compared with 2007, homicide rates were significantly lower in 2009 in certain demographic populations (State-specific homicide rates for 2009 ranged from 1.1 to 12.8 deaths per 100,000 population, and rates were generally higher in the southern states (Homicide rates are still particularly high among non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic AI/AN populations and remain highest among young, non-Hispanic black males. %PDF-1.5 %���� The decrease in homicide rates between these 2 years was considerable, particularly among males aged 15–29 years, which is consistent with the long-term decreasing trend in homicide rate that has been observed among this demographic population since the early 1990s (Socioeconomic factors play a substantial role in homicide disparities by race/ethnicity, sex, age, and geographic area. Differences in rates also occurred among certain populations.
First, small numbers of homicides precluded stable rate estimations among some populations.

Second, data on individual and environmental risk factors for homicide were unavailable, which precluded closer examination of possible sources of disparities by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and geography. Specifically, homicide rates were lower in 2009 than those reported in 2007 for males, non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, Hispanics, persons aged 15–29 years, and persons aged 30–49 years.
