Demons get their heads chop off pretty often either by the protagonist or demon slaying organization. however with the type of sword tanjiro uses, all you see is animated water slashing the head. no extreme gore.
Both humans and demons die. Some scenes involve the heads of demons being slashed but because of the shows animation its not gory. When the sun comes out the demons evaporate into thin air.
Many Bloody decapitations of demons.
An eye appears on the ground with blood behind it.
It is very common per episode for there to be blood and violence, however since its animated its about as bad as your average superhero movie.
The Natagumo Mountain Arc is the scariest arc in season one. Minor characters die and a characters hand appears with a gruesome spider bite on it several times.
The last episode contains violence as demons get destroyed with some bloodshed.
it is very typical for episodes to have a lot of sword fighting and bloody deaths. It is not the worst but definitely could make some young viewers uncomfy.
One demon uses threads to shred a demon slayer into a bunch of pieces
A demon kills a woman in a non-violent way, but it's very gory since the woman's cells start pumping and get destroyed (we get some close-ups on the face during that), turning her into a blob that melts into the ground. (personal opinion: it is still gory, as the demon pushes his finger into her forehead)
Often bloody decapitations and severing limbs. But the impact and circumstances of the action lowers it's tone. Some includes hands rapidly growing out of a humanoid body, squeezing it's head until it bursts, or a human body shredded to pieces with a piece of thread. Lots of blood, but minimum gore shown.
In one episode demon explodes in blood. After that you see her clothes on the ground and it's blood and gore all around it.

A scene with demon girl stomping another demon to the ground with her leg penetrating inside the other demon's back (her legs where filled with blood as she removed it from the other demon's back)
A demon's face is burned up with her eye ball popping out, this may look disturbing for some viewers.
In a backstory, we see someone getting his entire arm Dismembered by demon after trying to save his own brother, in fact that one scene is one of the darkest , bloodiest and goriest scenes of the entire anime
A swordsmith is sucked into a vase and crushed, screaming and crunching noises are heard.
Maggots eat a childs dead body in one scene.
Demons look pretty much like humans in most instances, so the gore is more impactful.
