This 'Deaths-versus-Age-Table (2021)' page

! Note !
I will probably not add any more data to this table.
I used all the obituary pages that I had collected
from Sunday issues of the Daily Press newspaper,
for the Virginia 'Peninsula' area.

However some additional images & information may be
added someday to show how the LibreOffice Calc
spreadsheet formulas and chart-dialogs were used.
That info may be added on this page --- or
on a 'central'/'parent' page.

Introduction to the table :

This page provides a table of 'number-of-deaths versus age' data --- for 'the Peninsula' --- for the year 2021.

The nature of the data collected is discussed on the 'parent page' of this page --- a 'menu-of-tables' page.

The data is presented below in a simple 'raw text' format --- so that it can be easily collected (copied and pasted) into a text file and fed into a plot utility.

Sources of the data:

The 2021-data above was collected from Sunday obituary pages of the Daily Press newspaper (Wikipedia link).

This year-2021 data includes 525 men and 514 women --- a total of 1,039 deaths.

    Note that the data above is not a complete count of deaths on 'the Peninsula' --- an area between the James and York Rivers --- including the cities of Newport News and Hampton in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia (Wikipedia link).

The following Sunday obituaries were used --- 34 Sundays (quite a few less than 52 weeks of Sundays).

  • January - 3 10 17 24 31
  • February - 7 14 21
  • March - 7
  • April - 4 11
  • May - 9 16
  • June - 6 13
  • July - 4 18 25
  • August - 1 15 29
  • September - 5 12 19
  • October - 10 17 24 31
  • November - 7 14
  • December - 5 12 19 26

Above are plots of the data - for men & for women - from newpaper obituaries in the Jan to Dec 2021 time frame.

The 'cumulative-percent' plots are more instructive than the 'raw data' plots.

The cumulative-percent plots can give an idea of the age at which 50% or 75% or 90% of deaths occur.

The cumulative-percent plots also serve to 'smooth out' the data.

For men, the 50% level looks like about age 78.

For women, the 50% level looks like about age 83.

You can see these 'cut-off' points a little more clearly by looking at the cumulative-percent data columns in the spreadsheet that was used.

Here is a link to the spreadsheet (a LibreOffice Calc '.ods' Open Document Format file) used to

  • hold the data for both men & women
  • compute the cumulative-percent data
  • make the charts (on a separate 'sheet' in the file)

Some images of the LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet columns (and the spreadsheet formulas used) may be put here someday.


    Here is a link to a '.xlsx' spreadsheet file (exported from LibreOffice Calc) and purported to be compatible with Microsoft Excel 2007-2013 XML format.

    There are no guarantees that it is readable into a current version of Microsoft Excel.
