Crude death rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CDRT.IN
Aruba's death rate was 9.2 in 2025, ranked 65th globally. This represents a 21.8% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Aruba's death rate stood at 9.2 in 2025, a rise of +1.6 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 9.2 by 2025. Aruba ranked 65th globally.
Aruba’s death rate has risen steadily over the 65‑year series, moving from 7.53 in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 9.23 in 2025, which places the island at rank 65 globally. The trough of 4.74 recorded in 1972 marks the lowest point in the historical record, after which the indicator has shown a gradual upward trajectory with occasional short‑term fluctuations. By 2025 the rate is marginally lower than that of St. Lucia (9.25) and Greenland (9.18), but slightly above Albania (9.31) and Grenada (9.15), underscoring Aruba’s position among small island economies with comparable mortality levels. The increase reflects demographic ageing, rising prevalence of non‑communicable diseases and modest improvements in death registration completeness. Continued public‑health investments targeting cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer could temper the upward path, while any significant shifts in population structure or health‑care access would likely reshape the future trend.
