Age-adjusted rates of death involving exposure to excessive heat, states with the highest numbers of deaths, 2021. National Center for Health Statistics.
In 2021, the U.S. age-adjusted rate of death involving exposure to excessive heat was 0.4 per 100,000 people. Of the 1,600 deaths reported, nine states accounted for more than 75% (1,226).
| State | Heat-related deaths per 100,000 (age-adjusted) |
|---|---|
| Arizona | 5.2 (426 deaths) |
| Nevada | 4.6 |
| Oregon | 2.4 |
| Washington | 1.9 |
| Louisiana | 0.7 |
Among the other states in the group, rates ranged from 0.1 (Florida) to 0.3 (California and Texas).
How deaths were counted: deaths with exposure to excessive natural heat as the underlying or a contributing cause, identified by the ICD-10 codes for environmental hyperthermia of newborns (P81.0), effects of heat and light (T67), and exposure to excessive natural heat (X30). Deaths caused by man-made heat, such as malfunctioning heating appliances (W92), were excluded.
