Czechia Death Rate
Crude death rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CDRT.IN
Czechia's death rate was 11.1 in 2025, ranked 36th globally. This represents a 6.9% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Czechia's death rate stood at 11.1 in 2025, a rise of +0.7 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 11.1 by 2025. Czechia ranked 36th globally.
Czechia’s death rate has risen modestly over the 65‑year series, moving from an all‑time trough of 9.80 deaths per 1,000 people in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 13.30 in 2021, before easing to 11.12 in 2025, which places the country 36th globally. The post‑pandemic peak reflects heightened mortality associated with COVID‑19 and its indirect health impacts, while the subsequent decline suggests a partial recovery of health services and demographic adjustments. Compared with its nearest peers, Czechia’s 2025 figure is slightly below Montenegro’s 11.18 and above Somalia’s 11.07, indicating a mortality level typical of middle‑income European states rather than the higher rates observed in many low‑income economies such as Nigeria (11.25). The long‑run upward trajectory is driven by population ageing, but the recent dip points to possible stabilization if preventive health measures and chronic disease management improve, which could temper future increases in the death rate.
