61 Hispanic people in Georgia passed away in week ending October 30

Healthinsurance 760x475

There were 61 Hispanic people who died in Georgia in the week ending October 30, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The data shows an increase from the week before when 55 people of Hispanic origin died.

Many records within the CDC are incomplete, as only 60 percent of death records are submitted within 10 days of death.

The Brookings Institute believes deaths among minority populations, specifically Hispanic and Blacks, are chronically underreported.

The U.S. Census defines Hispanic people as those who self-identify as such, often with relatives from regions such as Central and Southern America.
