Data for 2007

Crude Death Rate, 2007

2007, 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, 2007 covers 222 countries. Lesotho is highest, at 20.390; United Arab Emirates is lowest, at 1.340. The middle country reads 7.961. Against 2006, 221 values changed (93 up, 128 down), the same countries are covered.
