Child mortality rate: Upper-middle-income countries, earlier editions
This site's figures come from the UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation's series as Our World in Data combines it in Our World in Data's edition of 9 June 2026. Its catalogue also keeps 3 earlier editions that include Upper-middle-income countries, each below beside this site's figures.
- 25 April 2025: 43 of the 44 years in both differ from this site.
- 16 September 2024: 31 of the 33 years in both differ from this site.
- 29 August 2023: 32 of the 32 years in both differ from this site.
In the table, · is the same figure as this site's, none is a year the edition has no figure for, and a blank is a year outside the edition. Earlier editions are given to six significant digits, since some are stored as single-precision numbers, and a year counts as differing only beyond that precision. An edition in another unit is given in its own unit and never compared. This site gives this series to 2 decimals, as Our World in Data's chart does, so an earlier figure counts as the same when it rounds to this site's.
