The United States death rate fell to its lowest point in recorded history in 2025, driven by fewer deaths from overdoses and Covid-19, according to data released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The decline was documented across nearly every demographic category. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, improvements in mortality were broad-based, though influenza and pneumonia remained among the top 10 causes of death nationwide.
