Infant mortality rates for Hawaiians/part-Hawaiians are
higher and rates for Chinese are lower than for all other
ethnic groups in Hawai'i. Since the mid-1990s infant mortality
rates for Hawaiians/part-Hawaiians, and the "Other" group
have been increasing.

Note: Rates are per 1,000 live ethnic births. Deaths are by ethnicity of mother. Due to small ethnicity counts, there is significant year-to-year variation in the infant mortality rate. As such, rates are "smoothed" to minimize this variability by fitting parametric curves to the data points. For year 2004-2005, the number of deaths is too small (under 5 deaths per year) to calculate a statistically reliable infant death rate for Chinese and is included with "Other".
