- There were a total of 62,294 deaths in Alabama in 2022
- 631 of all deaths were among those aged 25-29
631 deaths from All Causes were among people aged 25-29
2022 vs New Normal™ for people aged 25-29 in Alabama
- 631 of 631 total deaths were from All Causes
- 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
- This is up 33% compared to Old Normal rates.
- 470 of 470 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
- 161 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
- 688 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)
- To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 33% 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 people aged 25-29 were there?” and
- “How many of them died from All Causes?”
The following 2 charts provide this information:
Deaths – All Causes – Male – Aged 25-29 | Alabama, United-states

Population – Male – Aged 25-29 – [2000-2022] | Alabama, United-states
![Graph showing Population - Male - Aged 25-29 - [2000-2022] | Alabama, United-states](/wp-content/plugins/dfuc-display/charts/united-states/alabama/2022/all/Both Sexes/25-29-pop.png)
From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 631 of 321,108 people aged 25-29 living in Alabama died from All Causes.
631 ÷ 321,108 = 0.00197 (2022 CDR)
The table shows there were a total of 6,607 deaths from All Causes among 4,517,291 people aged 25-29 living in Alabama in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.
6,607 ÷ 4,517,291 = 0.00146 (Old Normal CDR)
We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:
2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths
321,108 X 0.00146 = 470 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:
631 – 470 = 161
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:
631 ÷ 470 = 1.3344
This reveals 161 lives lost and is 133.44% of what we expected (an increase of 33%) in deaths from All Causes among people aged 25-29 living in Alabama 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):
3,935 ÷ 2,330,040 = 0.00169 (5-yr CDR)
321,108(2022 pop) X 0.00169 = 542 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
631 – 542 = 89 or 89 lives lost
Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:
631 ÷ 542 = 1.1567 or an increase of 16%
for deaths from All Causes among people aged 25-29 living in Alabama 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
2,651,148 X 0.00146 = 3,878 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
4566 – 3,878 = 688 or 688 lives lost
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:
4,566 ÷ 3,878 = 1.1695 or an increase of 17%
in deaths from All Causes among people aged 25-29 living in Alabama in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
The world has been led to believe that a deadly pandemic swept the globe beginning in 2020, causing an increase in death rates, especially among the elderly
The data show that death rates began to increase in 2015, immediately upon implementation of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, that young adults have experienced ever-increasing death rates since, and that death rates among the elderly have remained relatively stable.
