Overview
Northern Mariana Islands's death rate stood at 5.0 in 2025, a rise of +0.3 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 5.0 by 2025. Northern Mariana Islands ranked 191st globally.
Northern Mariana Islands’ death rate has fallen markedly since the 1960 all‑time peak of 7.78 deaths per 1,000 people, reaching a historic low of 2.50 in 2005 before rising modestly to 4.97 in 2025, which places the territory at rank 191 globally. The 65‑year series shows a sustained decline through the late twentieth century, reflecting improvements in health services, vaccination coverage and living standards, yet the slight uptick since the trough suggests emerging pressures such as an ageing population and limited medical infrastructure. Compared with peers, the 2025 rate is marginally higher than the Solomon Islands (4.94) and slightly below Vanuatu (4.90), while remaining close to Cabo Verde’s 5.01 and Macao SAR’s 5.02, underscoring a regional convergence around mid‑single‑digit levels. Continued investment in preventive care and chronic disease management could stabilise the rate, whereas demographic shifts or health system constraints might reverse the recent modest increase.
