Crude death rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CDRT.IN
Djibouti's death rate was 7.4 in 2025, ranked 110th globally. This represents a 1.2% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Djibouti's death rate stood at 7.4 in 2025, a decline of +0.1 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 7.4 by 2025. Djibouti ranked 110th globally.
Djibouti’s death rate has fallen dramatically over the 65‑year series, declining from an all‑time peak of 20.18 in 1960 to a trough of 7.36 in 2025, placing the country at rank 110 globally. This reduction reflects improvements in public health infrastructure, expanded access to basic medical services, and higher vaccination coverage that have accompanied the nation’s modest economic growth and urbanisation. The 2025 figure of 7.36 is virtually identical to the rates recorded in peer nations such as Togo (7.37) and Australia (7.34), underscoring Djibouti’s convergence with both sub‑Saharan and high‑income benchmarks despite divergent income levels. Continued declines will depend on sustaining investments in maternal and child health, combating non‑communicable diseases, and strengthening disease surveillance; without such advances, the downward trajectory could stall or reverse.
