The assessment of “excess mortality”, which compares the number of deaths in the reference month (232) with the average for the same month in the years 2016 to 2019 (189 deaths on average), indicates a mortality excess of 22.6%, reflecting the fact that, in those years as a whole, the number of deaths was always lower than the value recorded in July 2025.

The difference between live births and deaths resulted in a negative natural balance of 89 persons in July 2025, a less adverse outcome than in the same month of the previous year, when the figure stood at -96. In the first seven months of 2025, the cumulative natural balance amounted to -773, deteriorating compared to the same period of 2024 (-513).
