About the Mortality Profile Dashboard

The Mortality Profile Dashboard presents the number and rate of deaths occurring among residents of the HKPR District Health Unit area. Overall mortality, premature mortality, potential years of life lost, avoidable mortality, mortality by select causes, and cancer mortality, are reported by year and can be filtered to select a specific sex, age-group, geography of residence, and/or year, where possible.

By default, the data is presented for the HKPR District Health Unit area but can be filtered to one of the three counties (County of Haliburton, City of Kawartha Lakes, or Northumberland County) or for Ontario excluding the HKPR District Health Unit area.

The Mortality Profile Dashboard is updated annually, when data is available.
