Statistics:

Black maternal mortality: 50.3 deaths per 100,000 live births — the highest of any racial/ethnic group and more than 3x the rate for White women (14.5), Hispanic women (12.4), and Asian women (10.7). CDC+1

Trend insight: Rates for Black women showed little to no decline when others decreased.
