Deaths Time Series Data

Deaths Time Series Data

Last Updated: 10 August 2016

Information about the basis of these statistics is available from the Vital Events – General Background Information and the Deaths – Background Information pages.

This page contains datasets in Excel format. This data will be particularly useful for users who would like the same data for a series of different years rather than just for one year.

Note 1: Tables are mainly offered for the purposes of extracting figures. Due to the size of some of the files they are not recommended for printing.

Note 2: If you experience difficulty downloading the files. Please contact our Statistics Customer Services at the e-mail address below and request a disk with the full file.

Workbooks which contain data for several years

The following workbooks provide the data for several years in the form of a separate spreadsheet for each year, which has a table of figures for that year. They are not conventional time series tables because they do not have a separate row (or column) for each year. However, they do provide a more detailed breakdown of the figures for each year than the conventional time series tables, because the tables in these workbooks cross-classify each area's deaths in each year by sex and by age group, and they use more detailed age groups than the time series tables.
