Hamilton County's Black infant mortality rate more than doubled over the past two years, reversing a downward trend and perplexing medical experts who had hoped for continued improvement.

The finding is part of a report released May 12 from Cradle Cincinnati, the nonprofit that has worked for years to improve Hamilton County's stubbornly high infant mortality rate.

The increase in Black infant mortality, from 9 to 21 deaths per 1,000 births, means Black infants born in Hamilton County are more at risk than those born in Iraq, Iran, Guatemala, Honduras, Libya or Vietnam, according to the World Bank.

Black infant deaths drove an increase in the county's overall infant mortality rate from 5.5 to 9.3 deaths per 1,000 births. The infant mortality rate in the United States is about 6 deaths per 1,000 births.
