The Division of Health Statistics maintains current and historical, annual and multiple-year cross-tabulations in different formats and using other variables from vital records that are not contained in published reports. Copies of these tabulations can be obtained by contacting the Division (telephone: (717)783-2548, FAX: (717)772- 3258, or e-mail: webmaster@health.state.pa.us). However, many of these crosstabulations are quite lengthy and there may be a charge involved, especially if several years of information are requested. Many of these tabulations are also available on floppy diskette in ASCII (text) format for a nominal fee. (See Order Form for Statistics on Diskette for a listing of electronic data available from our published reports.) The Division can also produce, for a fee, special computer-generated output customized to the user’s specifications, with some qualifications.
 
Below is a list of tabulations available by type of record. Unless otherwise specified, annual birth and death tabulations are available in the same format back to 1960. Some multiple-year tabulations (in five-year summary tables or year-by-year figures) are available for 1979-96, unless otherwise specified. Racial breakdowns for 1990-96 annual tabulations are for white, black, and all other. Prior to 1990, all annual tabulations list racial data for white and all other only. However, multiple-year tabulations by race are available back to 1979 for white, black, and all others. Annual tabulations of births for 1960-88 are by race of child. Race of mother appears in annual tabulations starting with 1989 data. Multiple-year birth tabulations are by race of mother. County and minor civil division level data are available only when indicated for each tabulation. Minor Civil Division is city, borough or township. Data tables that list minor civil divisions are available only back to 1961, unless otherwise specified.
