Technical Notes
Data shown here are provisional and include only events occurring within the United States (50 States and the District of Columbia). The provisional information in this report is based on a combination of counts of events (some of which may not have occurred in the specified month of this report) and registered vital events. Although monthly provisional data may be updated during the course of a data year, once the provisional data year has ended, updates cease. Thus, provisional data for a given year may not accurately reflect the final number of events registered. Tables A and B provide monthly, year-to-date, and 12-month ending counts and rates by place of occurrence for births, deaths, and marriages and 12-month ending rates for divorces. These counts include events occurring in the United States to nonresidents of the
United States. These data differ from the data in preliminary and final reports that are based on place of residence. Tables 1–3 present monthly and year-to-date counts of births, deaths, marriages, and divorces and 12-month ending counts and rates of infant deaths as reported by each State. These detailed State tables are based on place of residence. Mortality data exclude fetal deaths. Delay in the receipt of cer tificates in a registration office may result in a low figure for a given month followed by a high figure for the month(s) in which the delayed records were received. Data for previous months include revisions States might have provided to correct for delayed reporting; therefore, figures may differ from those previously published. Totals for births, deaths, and infant deaths are by State of residence and, therefore, in effect, exclude events to nonresidents of the United States. The effect of excluding events to nonresidents from the U.S. totals is small.

1 The method of seasonal adjustment, developed by the U.S. Census Bureau, is described in The X-11 Variant of the Census Method II Seasonal Adjustment Program, Technical Paper No. 15 (1967 revision). 2 Marriage rates may be underestimated due to incomplete reporting in Oklahoma; see ‘‘Technical Notes.’’
NOTES: Figures include all revisions received from the States and, therefore, may differ from those previously published. National data are based on events occurring in the United States, regardless of place of residence; see ‘‘Technical Notes.’’
Events to nonresidents of the United States are included in all marriage and divorce figures. Divorce figures include reported annulments. Until 1998, provisional totals for births, marriages, and divorces for the entire United States included corrections for observed differences between provisional and final figures. These corrections compensated for delays in reporting. Beginning with data for January 1998, these monthly corrections for births, marriages, and divorces have been dropped. Further information on these changes has been provided in the National Vital Statistics Reports presenting provisional data for January, February, and March 1999 (vol. 48, nos. 1, 2, and 4, respectively) available at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs. Moreover, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) ceased publishing divorce counts and rates based on provisional data from the combined 50 States because it is no longer statistically feasible to calculate estimates of monthly divorce counts for nonreporting States (California, Hawaii, Indiana, Louisiana, and Oklahoma). Instead, NCHS publishes only the 12-month divorce rates shown in table A, based solely on the combined counts and populations for reporting States and the District of Columbia. Aggregate 1-month, cumulative counts and rates, and 12-month counts for divorces have been dropped because of their very limited usefulness when based on less than the full complement of States. Monthly marriage and divorce counts as reported by each State will continue to be shown in table 3. Marriage and divorce counts for Oklahoma are not included in table 3 showing provisional data by State because of incomplete reporting. For the purpose of calculating 12-month divorce rates shown
in table A, Oklahoma is treated as a nonreporting State (see earlier discussion). Because all other States report marriages, marriage rates shown in tables A and B include Oklahoma data. The impact of the missing marriages on the national rate is negligible (estimated at less than 1 percent). Population estimates used for computing rates originate from the U.S. Census Bureau and are based on the 2000 census. Monthly rates are based on populations estimated for the specific month. Year-to-date rates are averages of monthly rates that have been weighted by the number of days in the corresponding months. Rates for 12-month periods are the sum of events for the period per population estimated at the midpoint of the period. Populations have been estimated by NCHS for the 12-month divorce rates based on the 45 reporting States and the District of Columbia. Because monthly infant mortality rates are based on relatively few events, they are highly variable, and compari sons of monthly infant mortality rates should be interpreted cautiously.
