Data for 1992

Crude Death Rate, 1992

1992, as UN DESA Population Division’s 2024 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

The crude death rate is the number of people who die in a year for every 1,000 people living in a country. It is not a measure of how healthy a country is: because it takes no account of age, an old population records more deaths per head than a young one even where each person's chance of dying is lower.

Crude Death Rate, 1992 covers 222 countries. South Sudan is highest, at 46.657; Qatar is lowest, at 2.094. The middle country reads 8.499. Against 1991, 222 values changed (80 up, 142 down), the same countries are covered.
