Why Is This Important?

In a typical year, about 35% of all deaths among New Jersey residents are of persons aged 85 years and over.

Definition

Deaths among persons aged 85 years and over

Data Notes

CLRD = chronic lower respiratory diseases

2010-2020 rates use population estimates from the Vintage 2020 postcensal series based on the April 2010 Census. 2021 rates use Vintage 2021 population estimates based on the Blended Base produced by the US Census Bureau. 2010-2020 rates will be recalculated when the US Census Bureau releases 2010-2020 intercensal estimates in late 2024.
