2022 Deaths – All Causes – Female – Ages 20-24 | Illinois, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for women aged 20-24 in Illinois

1. 231 of 231 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 29% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 175 of 175 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 56 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 280 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 29% 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 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, 231 of 417,036 women aged 20-24 living in Illinois died from All Causes.

231 ÷ 417,036 = 0.00055 (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 2,728 deaths from All Causes among 6,495,273 women aged 20-24 living in Illinois in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

2,728 ÷ 6,495,273 = 0.00042 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

417,036 X 0.00042 = 175 expected deaths

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

231 – 175 = 56

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

231 ÷ 175 = 1.2882

This reveals 56 lives lost and is 128.82% of what we expected (an increase of 29%) in deaths from All Causes among women aged 20-24 living in Illinois 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):

1,456 ÷ 2,933,340 = 0.00050 (5-yr CDR)

417,036(2022 pop) X 0.00050 = 207 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

231 – 207 = 24 or 24 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

231 ÷ 207 = 1.0939 or an increase of 9%

for deaths from All Causes among women aged 20-24 living in Illinois 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

3,350,376 X 0.00042 = 1,407 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1687 – 1,407 = 280 or 280 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

1,687 ÷ 1,407 = 1.1710 or an increase of 17%

in deaths from All Causes among women aged 20-24 living in Illinois in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
