Births & Deaths
What are Birth & Death data?
Births & deaths data are statistics based on the ONS annual recording of births & deaths registered within a specific year; the most current year available is 2010.
What is Birth & death data used for?
Some analyses based on these data are :
- Life expectancy

- Fertility rates
- Place of death

They are informing for example:
- Health needs assessment

A wide range of indicators based on Birth and Death data can be found in Fingertips, particularly in the Health Inequalities theme and in the Morbidity and Mortality section of the Health and Wellbeing theme.
