- Measured in 2023, United States' mortality rate, under-5 sits at 6.50 Per 1000 live births. The series opened at 6.80 Per 1000 live births in 2014, making the full move a 4% fall.

Reading A Stretch Of Identical Numbers
A trend this clean, held for 10 years, is the exception rather than the rule in most national indicator data — worth treating as a real, durable pattern rather than noise.
This chart answers 'what happened' for United States, not 'is that good or bad' — that second question needs a comparison point, either other countries or a longer run of history than what's shown here.
Data like this is rarely a fresh annual count. It is more often a periodic survey with the in-between years estimated — worth knowing before treating every single year as an independent, precise measurement.
