US death rate fell to a record low in 2025, CDC data show

  • The rate at which Americans died fell to the lowest level ever recorded in 2025, according to new provisional data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
  • A steep drop in drug-overdose deaths and the continued fading of COVID-19 helped push the age-adjusted death rate to about 689 per 100,000 people — a figure that points toward record-high life expectancy once the numbers are final.
