Data for 2000

Crude Death Rate, 2000

2000, 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, 2000 covers 222 countries. Sierra Leone is highest, at 20.008; Qatar is lowest, at 1.854. The middle country reads 8.200. Against 1999, 222 values changed (59 up, 163 down), the same countries are covered.

Read before you use

Using the series

  • One year of the 2024 release

    Every year in this series comes from UN DESA Population Division’s 2024 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2000.

  • 219 distinct values among 222

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 2 countries share 10.393. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 222 countries has every column.
