I'm looking for a table that shows crude death rates in the United States, broken down by race (or at least Black and White), preferably going back to 1960 (the first year records were kept). Anyone know where to find such a thing?
Oh but if you want trends over time SINCE 1960, I would check the National Center for Health Statistics website.

How about this document from NCHS, Table 1? Page 5 has crude rates (p4 is raw numbers, and p6 is age-adjusted rates*). It has 1940, 1950, 1960, 1970, and then 1980-2011.
*You asked for crude rates, and so you probably have a good reason, but I feel obligated to warn any onlookers that often the age-adjusted rates are more appropriate.

So, since we are going to recycle them anyway...are you interested in them? It's a two volume set. PM me if so.
If not, I bet the National Center for Health Statistics keeps this kind of info, and it may be available online. Or these very same books might be at your local library.
