Chile Death Rate
Crude death rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CDRT.IN
Chile's death rate was 7.2 in 2025, ranked 114th globally. This represents a 11.1% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Chile's death rate stood at 7.2 in 2025, a rise of +0.7 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 7.2 by 2025. Chile ranked 114th globally.
Chile’s death rate has fallen markedly since the all‑time peak of 10.97 in 1960, reaching a trough of 4.97 in 2001 before climbing modestly to 7.22 in 2025, which places the country at rank 114 globally. The long‑term decline reflects improvements in health care, nutrition and disease prevention, while the slight post‑2001 rise corresponds with demographic ageing and higher prevalence of chronic conditions. Over the 65‑year coverage period, Chile’s mortality trajectory remains lower than that of Kenya (7.20) and only marginally above Côte d’Ivoire (7.23), illustrating its position among middle‑income nations with relatively advanced health outcomes. Continued reductions in premature mortality will depend on sustaining preventive health programmes, expanding access to long‑term care, and addressing lifestyle‑related risk factors; without such measures, the modest upward drift observed since the early 2000s could persist.
