Key Takeaways - Vermont has the 7th highest cervical cancer death rate in the U.S. at 33.9 deaths per 100,000 women, more than 2 times higher than Massachusetts (13.9 per 100,000). - Vermont recorded an average of 11.00 cervical cancer deaths annually during the study period, with reportable data available for 1 of 5 years (2020). - Vermont’s death rate is 43.0% higher than the national median of 23.7 per 100,000. Vermont Business Magazine A new 50-state analysis of federal health data released in August has found that Vermont has the 7th highest cervical cancer death rate in the nation. From 2020 to 2024, Vermont recorded 33.9 cervical cancer deaths per 100,000 female residents, more than 2 times higher than Massachusetts, the lowest-ranked state at 13.9 deaths per 100,000, though with limited data and small sample size. During the five-year study period, approximately 21,100 women across 49 states died from cervical cancer, with Vermont’s rate standing significantly above the national average. The study analyzed cervical cancer death data from the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) alongside U.S. Census Bureau population estimates for all 50 states. Average annual deaths were calculated for each state, converted into per-capita death rates per 100,000 female residents, and ranked from highest to lowest. Top 10 States With The Highest Cervical Cancer Death Rates Ranked by Average Annual Deaths per 100,000 Female Residents (2020–2024) Vermont recorded the nation’s 7th highest cervical cancer death rate at 33.9 per 100,000 female residents, with an average of 11.00 deaths per year over the study period. Wyoming, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and West Virginia led the rankings, each reporting more than 34 deaths per 100,000 female residents. Many of these states face challenges related to limited access to healthcare, lower screening rates, and gaps in HPV vaccination coverage. The top 10 highest-rate states collectively average 801 annual cervical cancer deaths, roughly 2 times more than the 381 annual total across the bottom 10 states. Vermont at a Glance: Cervical Cancer Death Data (2020–2024) Vermont’s cervical cancer death data is limited: deaths were reported as N/A for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, with data available for 2020 showing 11 deaths in 2020. With a female population of 324,079, Vermont produces a per-capita death rate of 33.9 per 100,000 female residents, ranking 7th nationally. This rate is 43.0% higher than the national median of 23.7 per 100,000 and 124.5% higher than New England neighbor New Hampshire (15.1), which ranks 48th. Looking at the study, Ramzy Ladah, Founder of Ladah Injury & Car Accident Lawyers Las Vegas, said: "The data reveals a stark and troubling reality: where a woman lives in America can significantly influence her likelihood of dying from cervical cancer. A resident of Wyoming faces a death rate more than three times higher than someone in Massachusetts, for a disease that is largely preventable through screening and vaccination. This is not a marginal difference. It is a structural divide that reflects disparities in healthcare access, preventive care, and public health investment that cost thousands of women their lives every year." Methodology The study analyzed cervical cancer death data from the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) State Health Policy Data for all 50 states (2020–2024) alongside U.S. Census Bureau population estimates by age and sex. Average annual deaths were calculated for each state based on available reporting years, converted into per-capita rates per 100,000 female residents, and states were ranked from highest to lowest. North Dakota was excluded from the ranking due to insufficient data, as no cervical cancer deaths were reported in any year during the study period.
