Notes:
This table shows cities with (1) populations greater than 40,000 according to 2007 estimates and (2)
three-year average births of greater than 200. City birth and mortality statistics have changed from pre-2011
reports due to geocoding. See
Data Quality Considerations for further details.
Rates are per 1,000 live births. Adding and subtracting the number shown after the ± symbol from the rate creates a confidence interval indicating that the true rate lies between the lower and upper bounds of this interval with 95 % statistical confidence.
*: A rate is not calculated
when there are fewer than 6 events, because the width of the confidence
interval would negate any usefulness for comparative purposes.
