Every count and every denominator behind this site, as plain CSV. One row per jurisdiction-year. This is the data the pages are built from, not an export of the charts.

Three things before you open it

There is no rate column, deliberately. Every figure is a death count and the person-years it was counted against. Compute deaths / person_years × 100000, and pool by summing both, never by averaging rates.

An empty cell is not a zero. Age bands are assembled only where a country’s published bands tile the target exactly. Where they do not, the cell is empty rather than estimated. A zero means zero.

Check pool_eligible before you pool. Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and the former Federal Republic of Germany overlap their successor states. Summing the file without filtering counts the same children twice.

The rest — citation, licence, every column, and how the data was gathered — is in notes.txt.
