Annual All-Cause Mortality Data

I cannot provide a specific annual death count for "[LOCATION]" because no location was specified in your question. However, I can provide you with the available mortality data from the evidence presented.

Available U.S. Mortality Data

The evidence contains weekly mortality surveillance data from 122 U.S. cities across multiple reporting periods in 2010-2011, but does not provide comprehensive annual national mortality figures. 1

Weekly Mortality Snapshots from U.S. Cities:

The surveillance data shows weekly death counts stratified by:

  • Geographic regions: New England, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic, East South Central, West South Central, Mountain, and Pacific regions 1
  • Age groups: <1 year, 1-24 years, 25-44 years, 45-64 years, and ≥65 years 1
  • Specific cities: Including Boston, New York City, Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, and many others 1

For example, during the week ending March 6,2010:

  • New England region: 560 total deaths 1
  • Mid-Atlantic region: 2,160 total deaths 1
  • South Atlantic region: 1,250 total deaths 1

Global Mortality Context

Globally, approximately 52.8 million deaths occurred in 2010 from all causes. 2

Historical Global Mortality Trends:

  • 1990: Approximately 46.5 million deaths worldwide, with 50 million estimated in other analyses 2, 3
  • 2010: 52.8 million deaths globally 2
  • 2021: Data available showing continued evolution of mortality patterns 4

Leading Causes of Death Globally (2010):

  • Ischemic heart disease and stroke: 12.9 million deaths combined (approximately 1 in 4 deaths) 2
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Major contributor 2
  • Lower respiratory infections: 2.8 million deaths 2
  • HIV/AIDS: 1.5 million deaths 2
  • Diarrheal diseases: 1.4 million deaths 2
  • Malaria: 1.17 million deaths 2
  • Tuberculosis: 1.2 million deaths 2
  • Cancer: 8 million deaths total, with lung cancer accounting for 1.5 million 2

Regional Mortality Distribution

In developing countries, approximately 39 million deaths (78% of global mortality) occurred annually in the mid-1980s to 1990s, with this proportion remaining substantial through 2010. 3, 5

To obtain specific annual mortality data for your location of interest, you would need to specify the geographic area (country, state, city, or region) and consult vital registration systems or national health statistics agencies for that jurisdiction. 2, 3
