Silver State Times

There were 56 Hispanic people who died in Nevada in the week ending Nov. 5, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The data shows no difference from the week before when 56 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.
