2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – Ages 20-24 | District Of Columbia, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for people aged 20-24 in District Of Columbia

1. 43 of 43 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 99.98% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 69% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 25 of 25 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 18 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 55 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 69% 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 20-24 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, 43 of 21,192 people aged 20-24 living in District Of Columbia died from All Causes.

43 ÷ 21,192 = 0.00203 (2022 CDR)

The table shows there were a total of 932 deaths from All Causes among 780,872 people aged 20-24 living in District Of Columbia in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

932 ÷ 780,872 = 0.00119 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

21,192 X 0.00119 = 25 expected deaths

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

43 – 25 = 18

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

43 ÷ 25 = 1.6859

This reveals 18 lives lost and is 168.59% of what we expected (an increase of 69%) in deaths from All Causes among people aged 20-24 living in District Of Columbia 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):

375 ÷ 282,811 = 0.00133 (5-yr CDR)

21,192(2022 pop) X 0.00133 = 28 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

43 – 28 = 15 or 15 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

43 ÷ 28 = 1.5188 or an increase of 52%

for deaths from All Causes among people aged 20-24 living in District Of Columbia 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

304,003 X 0.00119 = 363 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

418 – 363 = 55 or 55 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

418 ÷ 363 = 1.1425 or an increase of 14%

in deaths from All Causes among people aged 20-24 living in District Of Columbia in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
