 Rhode Island Department of Health, Office of Health Statistics, 1989 to 1993 and 1988 to 1992. Core cities are Providence, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Newport and Central Falls.

 NA: Because nearly all cities have a low number of deaths, the death rates are highly variable. Therefore the rates are not provided for cities and towns.

 The denominator is the number of children ages 1 to 14 according to the 1990 Census of Population, multiplied by five to compute a rate over five years, 1989 to 1992.
