From 2001 to 2010, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention tracked causes of death in every US state.

But instead of simply presenting us with the main cause of death by state (generally heart disease or cancer), the CDC made a list of the most "distinctive" cause of death in each state, relative to its national average. In a statement about the results, the CDC said it was "to present a more nuanced view of mortality variation within the United States than what can be seen by using only the 10 most common causes of death."

The results, published in 2015 (their most recent study), detail the causes of death in each state that are more frequent than the national average.
