  1. I’m surprised at how high homicide rates are for young people. It makes sense as young people are more likely to be the victim of perpetrator of violence and less likely to die of natural causes, but still it’s so high on the list (albeit far lower than the first cause)

  2. Very interesting data, but I hate the infographic at the top. A stacked bar with the remaining causes past Top10 rolled into ‘other’ would be much easier to understand how the cause frequencies relate to each other quantitatively.
