Estimates vary, but range from an overall Death Rate of 30% to 60% for Europe as a whole. I think a mainstream overall estimate would be that 40% of the population of Europe died from the plague, meaning 60% survived it. Some areas in southern Europe were hit by the plague multiple years running, and had death rates approaching 80% Other areas further from the Mediterranean had significantly lower death rates.
Anther way to interpret this question is what was the mortality rate for those actually infected. Assuming the dominant theory that the plague was a form of Y. pestis infection is correct, such infections have about a 60% mortality rate without treatment, and there would have been no effective treatment at the time.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNo, there were millions of people who survived the Black Death - it just had a very high mortality rate as well as a high morbidity rate when it swept through Europe in the Middle Ages.
