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

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

1. 60,590 of 60,590 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 22% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 49,685 of 49,685 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 10,905 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 55,278 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 22% 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, 60,590 of 5,770,080 individuals of all ages living in Wisconsin died from All Causes.

60,590 ÷ 5,770,080 = 0.01050 (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 707,878 deaths from All Causes among 82,208,566 individuals of all ages living in Wisconsin in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

707,878 ÷ 82,208,566 = 0.00861 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

5,770,080 X 0.00861 = 49,685 expected deaths

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

60,590 – 49,685 = 10,905

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

60,590 ÷ 49,685 = 1.2181

This reveals 10,905 lives lost and is 121.81% of what we expected (an increase of 22%) in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Wisconsin 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):

387,310 ÷ 39,826,581 = 0.00972 (5-yr CDR)

5,770,080(2022 pop) X 0.00972 = 56,114 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

60,590 – 56,114 = 4,476 or 4,476 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

60,590 ÷ 56,114 = 1.0787 or an increase of 8%

for deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Wisconsin 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

45,596,661 X 0.00861 = 392,622 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

447900 – 392,622 = 55,278 or 55,278 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

447,900 ÷ 392,622 = 1.1395 or an increase of 14%

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