Overview
Antigua and Barbuda's death rate stood at 7.1 in 2025, a rise of +0.2 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 7.1 by 2025. Antigua and Barbuda ranked 118th globally.
Antigua and Barbuda's death rate has exhibited a notable decline over the past six and a half decades. Beginning at 9.15 deaths per 1,000 people in 1960, the indicator reached its all-time peak, a rate that persisted throughout the year. Conversely, the death rate plummeted to 5.66 in 2011, marking the country's lowest recorded rate. Although the death rate has since increased, Antigua and Barbuda currently ranks 118th globally, with a rate of 7.13. This places the country closely behind Eswatini, which shares a nearly identical rate of 7.15 deaths per 1,000 people. The death rate in Antigua and Barbuda has generally trended downward, a trend that is characteristic of many developing countries where improvements in healthcare infrastructure and living standards have contributed to increased life expectancy. However, a continued decline in the death rate would likely require sustained investments in public health initiatives and economic development, particularly in the face of an aging population and rising healthcare costs.
