According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were 2,813,503 registered deaths in the United States in 2017. The age-adjusted death rate, which accounts for the aging population, is 731.9 deaths per 100,000 people in the U.S. This is an increase of 0.4% over 2016's death rate.

The age-adjusted death rate for the total population decreased 1.1% from 731.9 deaths per 100,000 standard population in 2017 to 723.6 in 2018 (Figure 2).
