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

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

1. 520 of 1,339 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 38.83% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is down 2% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 524 of 852 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 4 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
6. 487 excess All Cause deaths in 2022.
7. 55 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
8. 2,460 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 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 men 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, 520 of 712,290 men aged 30-34 living in New York died from Unknown Causes.

520 ÷ 712,290 = 0.00073 (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 7,212 deaths from Unknown Causes among 9,794,778 men aged 30-34 living in New York in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

7,212 ÷ 9,794,778 = 0.00074 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

712,290 X 0.00074 = 524 expected deaths

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

520 – 524 = -4

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

520 ÷ 524 = 0.9782

This reveals 4 lives saved and is 97.82% of what we expected (a decrease of 2%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among men 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):

3,563 ÷ 4,907,508 = 0.00073 (5-yr CDR)

712,290(2022 pop) X 0.00073 = 517 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

520 – 517 = 3 or 3 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

520 ÷ 517 = 0.9919 or a decrease of 1%

for deaths from Unknown Causes among men 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

5,619,798 X 0.00074 = 4,138 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

4083 – 4,138 = -55 or 55 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

4,083 ÷ 4,138 = 0.9735 or a decrease of 3%

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