Vital statistics are annually published calculations on birth and death records that facilitate the tracking of important health and population trends in Philadelphia over time. Public officials, researchers, and citizens alike may use vital statistics to plan for population shifts and healthcare needs, to perform research, and to stay informed and up-to-date on the natality and mortality trends in our City. The vital statistics dataset consists of natality and mortality data on Philadelphia City residents for each year of finalized data available, back to 2011 for births and 2012 for deaths. Citywide metrics and metrics by Philadelphia Planning District are provided for both natality and mortality metrics. A population estimates table is also provided, which includes the population counts used to calculate some metrics. The Vital Statistics - Natality dataset is also available in this citywide table .
