Key result
Hemorrhagic stroke mortality drops ~31% since 1999, but disparities remain for males and Black populations.

Hemorrhagic stroke remains a major cause of stroke-related mortality in the United States, but its demographic and geographic distribution remains incompletely described.
Population
830,251 hemorrhagic stroke deaths among adults in the United States
Comparison

Declines in hemorrhagic stroke mortality support prevention efforts; leaves open targeted research on persistent sex and racial disparities.
While overall hemorrhagic stroke mortality in the US declined significantly from 1999 to 2023, disproportionate burdens persist among males, Black populations, Southern residents, and individuals in nonmetropolitan areas.
Sahil et al. (2026) studied this question. From 1999 to 2023, hemorrhagic stroke mortality in the U.S. declined from 17.96 to 12.39 per 100,000, but disparities remain, particularly for males and Black populations.
