National Occupational Respiratory Mortality System — Census Database

This census database query will generate tables, charts, and maps of the Census
population estimates

which are used by NORMS for calculating death rates

in the National Database query. The population estimates used by NORMS are missing
for counties or county-equivalents that were annexed to another county or that were not yet
in existence, or if mortality data were not available. See the U.S. Census Bureau list
[ External Link: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/ctychng.html ] and Appendix H
of the 2002 WoRLD Surveillance Report for details.
