2022 Deaths – All Causes – Female – 60-64 | District Of Columbia, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for women aged 60-64 in District Of Columbia

1. 207 of 207 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 23% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 169 of 169 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 38 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 257 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 23% 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 women aged 60-64 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, 207 of 16,183 women aged 60-64 living in District Of Columbia died from All Causes.

207 ÷ 16,183 = 0.01279 (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 2,323 deaths from All Causes among 222,966 women aged 60-64 living in District Of Columbia in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

2,323 ÷ 222,966 = 0.01042 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

16,183 X 0.01042 = 169 expected deaths

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

207 – 169 = 38

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

207 ÷ 169 = 1.2265

This reveals 38 lives lost and is 122.65% of what we expected (an increase of 23%) in deaths from All Causes among women aged 60-64 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):

1,516 ÷ 124,566 = 0.01217 (5-yr CDR)

16,183(2022 pop) X 0.01217 = 197 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

207 – 197 = 10 or 10 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

207 ÷ 197 = 1.0502 or an increase of 5%

for deaths from All Causes among women aged 60-64 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

140,749 X 0.01042 = 1,466 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1723 – 1,466 = 257 or 257 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

1,723 ÷ 1,466 = 1.1739 or an increase of 17%

in deaths from All Causes among women aged 60-64 living in District Of Columbia in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
