How Many People Die in Houston Each Year?

Houston is the state’s largest and most populous city. It also happens to reside within Harris County, which is the state’s most populous county. Due to their size, Houston and Harris County have the highest mortality rate in the state.

Harris County Mortality Rate

Harris County, one of the most densely populated counties in Texas, contributes significantly to the statewide mortality statistics, accounting for approximately 18,000 to 28,000 deaths annually. These figures are a part of the broader Texan annual mortality, which typically ranges from 150,000 to 200,000 deaths. For instance, in the year 2014, Harris County documented 24,000 deaths, translating to an average of 2,000 deaths per month.

Houston Mortality Rate

Houston’s mortality rate within its municipal boundaries is an essential element of its demographic profile. Annually, Houston reports a range of deaths between 12,000 to 17,000. For instance, in 2014, Houston recorded 15,000 deaths, which corresponds to a monthly average of over 1,000 deaths.
