  • Blacks continue to have the highest stroke death rates among all races/ethnicities.
  • Stroke death rates increased among Hispanics by 6 percent each year from 2013-2015.
  • The decline in stroke death rates slowed in 38 states (about three out of four states and the District of Columbia) from 2000 through 2015.
