Heat and Death
On Wednesday, officials from Maricopa county, home to Phoenix, reported that there have been 194 confirmed heat-associated deaths this year as of 2 September. An additional 351 are under investigation.
In 2022, the county saw 153 heat-associated deaths during the same week last year while another 238 remain under investigation.
This year, the majority of heat-associated deaths occurred among people between 50 and 64 years old. Additionally, 59% of the heat-associated deaths in the county have been among white non-Hispanics, making it the most number of deaths by race and ethnicity.
