Crude death rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CDRT.IN
Austria's death rate was 10.3 in 2025, ranked 46th globally. This represents a 5.5% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Austria's death rate stood at 10.3 in 2025, a rise of +0.5 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 10.3 by 2025. Austria ranked 46th globally.
Austria’s death rate has fallen steadily over the 65‑year series, declining from 12.70 in 1960 to a World Bank‑reported 10.34 in 2025, which places the country 46th globally. The all‑time peak of 13.30 occurred in 1969, after which mortality began a gradual descent that accelerated in the early 2000s, reaching a trough of 9.00 in 2008 before modestly rising again. Compared with its nearest peers, Austria’s 2025 figure is slightly higher than Denmark’s 10.36 and lower than Chad’s 10.38, indicating a mortality profile that aligns with other high‑income European nations while remaining above the sub‑Saharan outlier Lesotho’s 10.24. The long‑term downward trajectory reflects improvements in healthcare, chronic disease management, and living standards, yet the recent uptick suggests demographic ageing may be tempering progress. Continued advances in preventive care and health‑system efficiency will be crucial to sustain the decline and potentially push the rate below the current 10.34 level in the coming decade.
