NYC Vital Statistics
- Description
The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) has shared vital statistics data (birth and mortality data) online. Birth data includes demographic information on the mother, including age, race, and education. Mortality data includes demographic information on the deceased, such as age, sex, race, and education. The publicly-available birth and death micro-SAS datasets provide aggregate data on the community district, zip code, and census tract levels. Researchers may also complete an application process to request line-listed and de-identified vital statistics data from NYC DOHMH.
