2022 Deaths – Unknown Causes – Both Sexes – Ages 30-34 | New York, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for people aged 30-34 in New York

1. 894 of 1,933 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 46.25% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is up 2% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 859 of 1,240 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 35 excess deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
6. 693 excess All Cause deaths in 2022.
7. 43 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
8. 3,345 excess All Cause deaths over the first 8 years of New York’s New Normal™.

1. To show this year’s deaths from Unknown Causes are up 2% 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 30-34 were there?” and
• “How many of them died from Unknown Causes?”

The following 2 charts provide this information:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 894 of 1,412,771 people aged 30-34 living in New York died from Unknown Causes.

894 ÷ 1,412,771 = 0.00063 (2022 CDR)

We’ll use the table below to calculate our Old Normal rate for deaths from Unknown Causes

The table shows there were a total of 12,104 deaths from Unknown Causes among 19,908,858 people aged 30-34 living in New York in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

12,104 ÷ 19,908,858 = 0.00061 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

1,412,771 X 0.00061 = 859 expected deaths

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

894 – 859 = 35

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

894 ÷ 859 = 1.0240

This reveals 35 lives lost and is 102.40% of what we expected (an increase of 2%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among people aged 30-34 living in New York 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):

5,889 ÷ 9,814,243 = 0.00060 (5-yr CDR)

1,412,771(2022 pop) X 0.00060 = 848 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

894 – 848 = 46 or 46 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

894 ÷ 848 = 1.0373 or an increase of 4%

for deaths from Unknown Causes among people aged 30-34 living in New York 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

11,227,014 X 0.00061 = 6,826 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

6783 – 6,826 = -43 or 43 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

6,783 ÷ 6,826 = 0.9777 or a decrease of 2%

in deaths from Unknown Causes among people aged 30-34 living in New York in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
