The mortality rate was 7.9 per 1,000 of the population.
The average age of death is 79. That is lower than the average in England and Wales of 81.
The average age has risen by 12 years since 1960 when it was 67.
Cancers and circulatory diseases remain the biggest killers, accounting for 58% of deaths in 2021.
Covid-19 was recorded as a cause of death in 4% of cases, compared to 12% in England and Wales.
