22.3 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared with a rate of 32.9 in 2021 (Figure 1 and Table). In 2022, maternal mortality rates decreased significantly for Black non-Hispanic (subsequently, Black), White non-Hispanic (subsequently, White), and Hispanic women (Figure 2 and Table).
Indicator Description: Maternal mortality ratio is the number of women who die from pregnancy-related causes while pregnant or within 42 days of pregnancy termination per 100,000 live births.
