2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – All Ages | District Of Columbia, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for men of all ages in District Of Columbia

1. 2,789 of 2,789 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 6% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 2,953 of 2,953 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 164 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 2,545 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 6% 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 men 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, 2,789 of 265,211 men of all ages living in District Of Columbia died from All Causes.

2,789 ÷ 265,211 = 0.01052 (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 39,197 deaths from All Causes among 3,519,981 men of all ages living in District Of Columbia in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

39,197 ÷ 3,519,981 = 0.01114 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

265,211 X 0.01114 = 2,953 expected deaths

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

2,789 – 2,953 = -164

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

2,789 ÷ 2,953 = 0.9435

This reveals 164 lives saved and is 94.35% of what we expected (a decrease of 6%) in deaths from All Causes among men of all ages 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):

18,945 ÷ 1,915,118 = 0.00989 (5-yr CDR)

265,211(2022 pop) X 0.00989 = 2,624 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

2,789 – 2,624 = 165 or 165 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

2,789 ÷ 2,624 = 1.0620 or an increase of 6%

for deaths from All Causes among men of all ages 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

2,180,329 X 0.01114 = 24,279 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

21734 – 24,279 = -2,545 or 2,545 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

21,734 ÷ 24,279 = 0.8944 or a decrease of 11%

in deaths from All Causes among men of all ages living in District Of Columbia in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
