2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – All Ages | New Mexico, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for individuals of all ages in New Mexico

1. 23,641 of 23,641 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 44% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 16,347 of 16,347 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 7,294 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 34,637 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 44% compared to Old Normal rates, we need to calculate the rates for both 2022 and for the Old Normal.

Remember, death rates are calculated to answer these questions:

• “How many individuals of all ages were there?” and
• “How many of them died from All Causes?”

The following 2 charts provide this information:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 23,641 of 1,946,652 individuals of all ages living in New Mexico died from All Causes.

23,641 ÷ 1,946,652 = 0.01214 (2022 CDR)

We’ll use the table below to calculate our Old Normal rate for deaths from All Causes

The table shows there were a total of 231,649 deaths from All Causes among 27,584,776 individuals of all ages living in New Mexico in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

231,649 ÷ 27,584,776 = 0.00840 (Old Normal CDR)

We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

1,946,652 X 0.00840 = 16,347 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:

23,641 – 16,347 = 7,294

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:

23,641 ÷ 16,347 = 1.4444

This reveals 7,294 lives lost and is 144.44% of what we expected (an increase of 44%) in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in New Mexico in 2022, as compared to the Old Normal.

This is the same method used by Public Health to calculate the 5-yr CDR (Cumulative Death Rate):

142,250 ÷ 13,683,131 = 0.01040 (5-yr CDR)

1,946,652(2022 pop) X 0.01040 = 20,237 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

23,641 – 20,237 = 3,404 or 3,404 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

23,641 ÷ 20,237 = 1.1671 or an increase of 17%

for deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in New Mexico in 2022, as compared to the previous 5 years.

Compare our Old Normal to the 5yr CDR. Does it tell the same story your TV does?

Finally, the same method can also be used to compare our Old Normal rate to the New Normal™ rate:

New Normal™ population X Old Normal rate = expected deaths

15,629,783 X 0.00840 = 131,254 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

165891 – 131,254 = 34,637 or 34,637 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

165,891 ÷ 131,254 = 1.2624 or an increase of 26%

in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in New Mexico in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
