On average? Because if exactly five people die each year that's just scary.
What do the rest die from? Boredom?
Death Valley population = 442. Deaths/year from heat = 5.
Rate = 11,312 per million per year.
US population = 285 million. Deaths/year from heat = 688.
Rate = 27.5 per million per year.
Ratio = 411 times as likely to die from heat in Death Valley than in the US in general.
