No.

Answer 6

Is the infant mortality rate higher in urban areas? Or is it higher in rural areas?

Answer 7

infant mortality -- death of infants -- generally under the age of 12 months
urban area -- city
rural area -- not city; farmland; country

More infants die in the country than they do in the city.

Infant mortality is usually greater in rural areas.
