Data for 2010

Crude Death Rate, 2010

2010, 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, 2010 covers 222 countries. Lesotho is highest, at 18.204; United Arab Emirates is lowest, at 1.073. The middle country reads 7.648. Against 2009, 222 values changed (88 up, 134 down), the same countries are covered.
