2022 Deaths – Unknown Causes – Female – Ages 20-24 | New York, United States

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

1. 150 of 216 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 69.44% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is down 24% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 192 of 225 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 42 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
6. 9 fewer than expected All Cause deaths in 2022.
7. 218 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
8. 89 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 down 24% 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 Unknown Causes?”

The following 2 charts provide this information:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 150 of 651,974 women aged 20-24 living in New York died from Unknown Causes.

150 ÷ 651,974 = 0.00023 (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 2,962 deaths from Unknown Causes among 10,081,018 women aged 20-24 living in New York in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

2,962 ÷ 10,081,018 = 0.00029 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

651,974 X 0.00029 = 192 expected deaths

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

150 – 192 = -42

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

150 ÷ 192 = 0.7573

This reveals 42 lives saved and is 75.73% of what we expected (a decrease of 24%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among women aged 20-24 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):

1,179 ÷ 4,614,784 = 0.00026 (5-yr CDR)

651,974(2022 pop) X 0.00026 = 167 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

150 – 167 = -17 or 17 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

150 ÷ 167 = 0.8666 or a decrease of 13%

for deaths from Unknown Causes among women aged 20-24 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

5,266,758 X 0.00029 = 1,547 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1329 – 1,547 = -218 or 218 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

1,329 ÷ 1,547 = 0.8306 or a decrease of 17%

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