    As national death rate dips, some states did better than others

    The U.S. death rate reached a historic low in 2025, with Northeastern states like New Jersey, Rhode Island, and New York experiencing the largest declines since 2015. Experts attribute these drops to healthcare expansion, reduced traffic accidents, and lower firearm deaths, though federal efforts to cut Medicaid and rural hospital funding threaten future progress.
