Key Takeaways
The U.S. death rate remained stable around 8.6 from 1990 to 2019, with minor fluctuations reflecting public health advancements and demographic changes. The sharp rise to 10.3 in 2020 and 10.4 in 2021 is attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused significant mortality increases.

By 2022, the death rate declined slightly to 9.8, signaling progress in managing pandemic-related fatalities. However, the long-term effects of aging and chronic diseases remain key challenges for the healthcare system.
