Mexico Mortality Dataset (1998-2024)

This project provides a structured mortality dataset for Mexico covering the period 1998–2024, comprising over 17 million recorded deaths. The data are organized to enable efficient analysis of mortality patterns across time, geographic units, and causes of death.Records are aggregated by shared characteristics, allowing for scalable analysis while preserving a high level of detail. The dataset contains the following variables:REGISTRATION_YEAR – Year in which the death was officially registeredDEATH_YEAR – Year in which the death occurredREGISTRATION_STATE – State where the death was registeredRESIDENCE_STATE – State of residence of the deceasedSEX – Sex of the deceased (1 = male, 2 = female, 9 = unknown)AGE – Age of the deceased in years (range: 0–120; 998 = unknown)ICD-10 – Cause of death classified using 4-digit ICD-10 codesLIST1 – Code corresponding to the ICD-10 Mortality Tabulation List 1COUNT – Number of deaths sharing the same combination of attributesIn addition, the project includes a Python script designed to generate population pyramid-style visualizations of the top 25 causes of death for a specified state, year, and age group.ContentsMortality dataset (1998–2024; >17 million records)Python script for generating cause-specific pyramid chartsrequirements.txt file for dependency installationSample visualizations illustrating potential analytical outputsPotential ApplicationsThe dataset and accompanying tools support a wide range of applications, including:Temporal analysis of mortality trendsGeographic comparisons of cause-specific mortalityDemographic analysis by age and sexPublic health research and epidemiological studiesData visualization for reporting and policy supportData Sourcehttps://www.inegi.org.mx/programas/edr/#microdatos
