additional 35% does not mean 35% of the population is dead. it means excess death.
meaning if before covid one year dead 9k ppl now add 35% to this 9k death. meaning could be 12-13k nowadays,
I had already taken your explanation into account before commenting.
In average, death per year in sg is around the figure of 26k.
So 35% of 26k = 9k which is still considered too many IMHO.
And when I do a search from AI. I got this data that states that in 2024, it actually decreased, compared to 2023.
But I doesn't know where the AI got it's data from.
“How many deaths on average occur per year in Singapore?”
Here’s what the latest data tells us:
2024 Data (Most Recent)
- Total Deaths (all individuals): 26,442 in 2024, which is a decrease from 26,888 in 2023 .
- Resident Deaths (Singapore citizens & permanent residents): 25,171 in 2024 .
Estimating the Recent Average
While exact multi-year averages aren’t published in a single figure, we can approximate based on recent figures:
- 2023: 26,888 total deaths
- 2022: Around the same ballpark, given trends (2021 had 24,292, but 2022 was higher due to the pandemic) .
Conclusion: Over the past few years, Singapore has seen
about 26,000 to 27,000 deaths annually.
Context: Death Rate per Population
To understand death counts relative to population size:
- Crude Death Rate (2024): 6.0 per 1,000 residents; in 2023 it was 6.2 per 1,000 .
- Population Estimate: Singapore’s population is about 6.04 million as of mid-2024 .
- That aligns roughly with the 26,000+ yearly deaths recorded.
Summary Table
Year | Total Deaths (all) | Estimated Average (Recent) |
---|
2023 | ~26,888 | ~26,000–27,000 per year |
2024 | ~26,442 | — |
Bottom Line
Currently, Singapore experiences around
26,400 to 26,900 deaths per year, with the
average in recent years hovering between 26,000 and 27,000.
Let me know if you’d like a breakdown by age group, cause of death, or comparisons to earlier years!
