According to the US Census Bureau, approximately 246 people die every day in the state of New York. In other words, a person dies in New York approximately every 3 minutes. You can see a live clock keeping track of how many people have died today at https://www.indexmundi.com/clocks/indicator/deaths/united-states/new-york. You can compare the number of deaths in New York to the number of deaths in other states at https://www.indexmundi.com/clocks/indicator/deaths/united-states.
As for the number of daily deaths in New York City, we estimate based on 2018-2019 US Census numbers that approximately 108 people die every day in NYC.
Note that the numbers in this post were estimated without taking into account the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The net effect of the pandemic on the average number of daily deaths in New York will not be clear until some time in the future. For more information about COVID-19 cases and deaths in the US, visit our coronavirus information page.
The number I have seen for NYC is an average of about 160/day more in the winter months
Which means there are more Covid deaths in New York than all other cause put together.
246 per day is about 10.25 per hour, or one every 5.85 minutes.
RE: Which means there are more Covid deaths in New York than all other cause put together.
Depends on how you define “Covid deaths”.
Is it accurate, if a patient died of, e.g., pneumonia, and was believed to have been exposed to COVID-19, the death certificate then says that COVID-19 was the cause of death even though the patient was never tested, or never tested positive, for that disease?
That’s what many states are doing.

RE: 246 per day is about 10.25 per hour, or one every 5.85 minutes.
That was BEFORE Covid-19.
So, add the approximately 700 coronavirus deaths each day to the other deaths and you would have almost 1000 deaths in New York State. You would be banking good money as a mortician and the burial urn business. There’s always a silver lining. Is that the purpose of the blog article?
With stay at home traffic fatalities should decrease, possibly other things like drowning then there is the increase in people drinking themselves to death at home or falling down the stairs etc. A lot of variables.
That may be cold, but it's also rational and so bears on reading the current stats, and so bears on our assessment of this storm.
If we have a strong windstorm here, many branches and trees succumb. But many fewer branches and trees succumb over the next 12 months, even in a another storm.
“Perspective: How many people die every day in New York?”
Not enough ...democrats.
What’s your point? Some of these persons would have died anyway from a comorbidity. Most are likely excess deaths.
If the virus hastened some deaths that would have occurred anyway due to other under-lying conditions, then we should see a death-rate less than the average after this is over.
Relevant: “Can you find the numbers of deaths in 2019 over the same period as coronavirus?”
Total US Deaths in March 2020 are Actually Down 15% from Average of Prior Four Years is at least partially due to liberally assigning death to Covid, as is increasingly reported.
More questions: How many died a day during the 2009 swine flu epidemic? And were the deaths counted the same way?
For NYC in 2015, it reports 1 death every 9.1 minutes, meaning 158.23 deaths a day and thus 57,753.95 a year, while the NYT reported less, that each year around 50,000 people die in New York city.
Figures on many: http://www.peacebyjesus.net/influenza-pandemics.html while I am not sure if the cause was as liberally assigned to the flu as Covid is in some places.
Freeze the population of New York City at this moment. Nobody comes in, or is born there.
How many people will be there in 100 years. Maybe a few dozen .
A great city is like the cells of the human body. The individual cells are being replaced all the time. All that remains are the culture, infrastructure, and social structures.
