Mortality Stats.

[swestrup]

Does anyone know where I could get raw mortality rate figures for North America (Canada and/or the US) for the last 50 years or more? I need them broken down by age (and gender, if possible). I went to look at Stats Canada, but I could only find the number up to 1975. That's not very useful for my purposes.

I pay taxes to get this info collected, so I certainly don't want to pay any money in order to see the results...
