Births and Deaths
The U.S. Census Bureau is not the primary source for data on births and deaths.
The primary source is the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). NCHS can provide information on number of births, percent unmarried mothers, number of deaths, infant mortality and more.
Contact NCHS: 1-800-232-4636 or nchsquery@cdc.gov
