Query Builder for New Jersey Birth Data - Birth Rate for the State and Counties

About this dataset

The birth data in this NJSHAD query module come from the New Jersey Birth Certificate database. The database is maintained by the New Jersey Department of Health, Office of Vital Statistics and Registry. The population data used for rate denominators were produced by the National Center for Health Statistics in collaboration with the U.S. Census Bureau. All data shown are for New Jersey residents regardless of where the birth occurred. IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a change in population estimation methodology at the U.S. Census Bureau, rates for 2020 and later are not directly comparable to rates from before 2020. After 2010-2020 intercensal estimates are released by the Census Bureau in late 2024, all rates will be recalculated to enable trend analysis.

How to build your query

The most current data year and all births are pre-selected in the steps below. If you do not want to choose different years or filter your results by any maternal, infant, or health services utilization characteristics, skip to the last STEP bar and select how you would like to display the results (i.e., which rows and columns you want in your data table) then click SUBMIT at the bottom left of the query builder steps to get your query result.

If you want to only see data for certain years, maternal characteristics, infant characteristics, or health services utilization characteristics, follow the numbered steps below to narrow your query. When you are done filtering your query, open the last STEP bar to select which rows and columns you want in your data table. After that, click SUBMIT at the bottom left of the query builder steps to get your query result.
  • Select year(s). Default is most recent year.

  • Choose race, ethnicity, or race/ethnicity combined. Click the yellow ? for more information.

  • Choose county of residence. The default is all counties.
