2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – All Ages | Nebraska, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for individuals of all ages in Nebraska

1. 18,597 of 18,597 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 13% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 16,426 of 16,426 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 2,171 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 11,473 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 13% 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 individuals 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, 18,597 of 1,747,706 individuals of all ages living in Nebraska died from All Causes.

18,597 ÷ 1,747,706 = 0.01064 (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 229,245 deaths from All Causes among 24,391,896 individuals of all ages living in Nebraska in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

229,245 ÷ 24,391,896 = 0.00940 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

1,747,706 X 0.00940 = 16,426 expected deaths

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

18,597 – 16,426 = 2,171

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

18,597 ÷ 16,426 = 1.1310

This reveals 2,171 lives lost and is 113.10% of what we expected (an increase of 13%) in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Nebraska 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):

122,048 ÷ 11,996,317 = 0.01017 (5-yr CDR)

1,747,706(2022 pop) X 0.01017 = 17,781 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

18,597 – 17,781 = 816 or 816 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

18,597 ÷ 17,781 = 1.0449 or an increase of 4%

for deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Nebraska 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

13,744,023 X 0.00940 = 129,172 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

140645 – 129,172 = 11,473 or 11,473 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

140,645 ÷ 129,172 = 1.0877 or an increase of 9%

in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Nebraska in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
