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

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

1. 5,854 of 5,854 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 30% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 4,496 of 4,496 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 1,358 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 5,779 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 30% 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, 5,854 of 435,598 individuals of all ages living in Wyoming died from All Causes.

5,854 ÷ 435,598 = 0.01344 (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 63,341 deaths from All Causes among 6,136,377 individuals of all ages living in Wyoming in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

63,341 ÷ 6,136,377 = 0.01032 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

435,598 X 0.01032 = 4,496 expected deaths

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

5,854 – 4,496 = 1,358

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

5,854 ÷ 4,496 = 1.3007

This reveals 1,358 lives lost and is 130.07% of what we expected (an increase of 30%) in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Wyoming 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):

36,823 ÷ 3,139,055 = 0.01173 (5-yr CDR)

435,598(2022 pop) X 0.01173 = 5,110 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

5,854 – 5,110 = 744 or 744 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

5,854 ÷ 5,110 = 1.1447 or an increase of 14%

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

3,574,653 X 0.01032 = 36,898 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

42677 – 36,898 = 5,779 or 5,779 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

42,677 ÷ 36,898 = 1.1555 or an increase of 16%

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