Angola Death Rate
Crude death rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CDRT.IN
Angola's death rate was 6.6 in 2025, ranked 143rd globally. This represents a 5.3% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Angola's death rate stood at 6.6 in 2025, a decline of +0.4 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 6.6 by 2025. Angola ranked 143rd globally.
Angola’s death rate has fallen dramatically over the 65‑year series, declining from an early‑period peak of 28.07 deaths per 1,000 people in 1961 to a trough of 6.56 in 2025, the nation’s lowest recorded level and the 143rd lowest globally. The reduction represents a more than 75 percent drop and reflects sustained improvements in health services, disease control, and socioeconomic conditions since the mid‑1990s. By 2025 Angola’s rate of 6.56 is virtually identical to that of peer nations such as Cambodia (6.57) and Lebanon (6.55), indicating convergence with middle‑income health outcomes despite a historically higher burden. The long‑term downward trajectory suggests that continued investment in primary health care, vaccination programmes, and maternal‑child health could further compress mortality, potentially moving Angola into the sub‑6 deaths per 1,000 range within the next decade.
