Among 133 Virginia counties with published values, the counties with the highest premature death rates are Petersburg city, VA (24,086.5, 2.45 times the U.S. county median of 9,824.9), Norton city, VA (21,701.1, 2.21 times the U.S. county median of 9,824.9) and Emporia city, VA (21,097.6, 2.15 times the U.S. county median of 9,824.9).

Source: County Health Rankings, built from CDC National Vital Statistics System death records. These are county-level figures, compared with the U.S. county median. A high rate does not prove an environmental cause: age, smoking, income, access to care, screening and chance all move county rates, and small counties swing widely.
