After Robert's explanation about the uncertainty with regard to Mrs Nabi Tajima's year of birth, I've decided to err on the side of caution (so she doesn't appear as validated with a year of birth in 1900 here). Should the GRG receive more definitive proof of Mrs Tajima's year of birth, this list will reflect that.

Looking back at the list from 1 Jan 2022 makes you realise how far we have fallen. Seventeen 114 year olds back then. It was easy to fall into the expectation that it was the new norm and could only get better.
@beaumont In my opinion. Not really. In late 2014 we had (I believe) fifteen 114-years-olds. In 2015 a lot of them passed away within a very short amount of time. In 2020, we didn't have a lot of major deaths (possibly) due to the covid restrictions. In 2021 and 2022, the amount of deaths were starting to catch up. I think we were getting a littile bit spoiled with having four 116-year-olds at one point. I think right now we are still doing okay statistically. We have (at least) 10 114-year-olds living right now. It just doesn't look like it because entering the top 100 has become a lot more difficult over time.
@sebia97 I remember how amazed I was that 2014 was the first year since 1799 where not a single person born in the 1800s passed away.
Age bubbles are natural occurence. The year 2022 has seen that bubble deflate seriously, with 11 of the top-15 having passed away.
Update: added José Caraú da Cunha for 2022.

Great lists. I have one question though. Is there a particular reason why you are using the nicknames of some of the SCs? Using their full names would make it easier to look them up.
Tránsito Ayala died on 9 October 2008 (see here), so I have removed her from 2009 and 2010.
