## How to read this measure

Use caution when comparing mortality rates: 2024 is preliminary and may omit deaths because collection was shorter. Earlier years may be revised. Cause-of-death coding changed in 2013 and 2017. Yukon figures for 2017–2022 are uncertain. Rates use the estimated 2021 Canadian population for age standardization.

## How this answer was calculated

The headline compares the first and last observations shown. Absolute change is the last source value minus the first; relative change is (last ÷ first − 1) × 100. Intermediate observations remain visible in the chart and exact values. This is descriptive and does not identify causes.
