Demographic Factors that Define the Population of Deaths that Occurred in the State of Minnesota from 2013-2018

Abstract

Death can be an uncomfortable thing to talk about and explore due to its somber mood. However, national data analysis has been done to conclude different trends within multiple transition choices after death. This individual research project looks at various demographics within the state of Minnesota from 2013 to 2018 and analyzes the correlations between them along with distributions within the population. A few findings of this project are that people who never married had the lowest ages of death of all the martial statuses and people who didn’t attain a high school diploma died at an older age compared to people with higher levels of education. Alongside this, as the median income of the county of residence increased, the age of death decreased. People in the rural south were seen to live longer while residents of suburban central Minnesota died younger. With a further understanding of how specific demographics could impact where and when a person dies, scientists can analyze why these connections occur.
