  • Census Population

  • Population Projections

    The Texas State Data Center prepares population projections for Texas counties every two years. The current projections were released in February 2009 and cover the period 2001 through 2040. A number of projection "scenarios" are available, differing only in the strength of the net migration that is assumed to occur across the entire projection period. The Center for Health Statistics selects among these options the projection scenario recommended for short term planning of less than 10 years. The Center for Health Statistics can provide assistance in choosing a projection scenario for population planning beyond 10 years. The current projections reflect the "2000-2007 scenario", indicating that the net migration assumptions utilize migration patterns from the 2000-2007 post-censal period.

      Fetal death rate is the number of fetal deaths per 1,000 combined live births and fetal deaths. Death rates were not calculated if 20 or fewer births or births plus fetal deaths occurred, as indicated by "---".

  • Age Adjusted Death Rates by Cause

    • Age Adjusted Rates

The mortality rates are age-adjusted to the year 2000 Standard Population according to recommendations from the National Center for Health Statistics. These age-adjusted rates will not be comparable with rates based on the 1940 standard population used in previous years. Rates have not been calculated if 20 or fewer deaths occurred, as indicated by "--". Department of State Health Services, Vital Statistics Unit, 2006 Death Certificate File. Texas Health Data Deaths

    • Onset of Prenatal Care within First Trimester

      Texas adopted the new US Standard Certificate of Live Birth beginning in 2006. One of the major changes is the item on month prenatal care began. Previously, month prenatal care began was a direct question on the birth certificate. Now, it is calculated based on other fields such as date of last menses, date of first prenatal visit etc. Consequently, onset of prenatal care within the first trimester data are not comparable to previous years.
