    More About Vital Statistics

    Vital statistics are the compilation and analysis of information collected from vital event records reported in Oregon. Oregon's Center for Health Statistics is responsible for compiling and analyzing the data from these vital records.
    Some of the most important information about the health of Oregonians comes from vital records, such as leading causes of death, low birth weight babies, and mother's access to prenatal care. Vital records data are used throughout the state and nation for analysis of health trends, program planning, and policy development.

    ​How to Interpret Data 

    Preliminary data for births, deaths, fetal deaths, and induced abortions are undergoing editing procedures which result in frequent and significant changes. Please use caution when interpreting these data. Data can be used for tracking recent health events, but are not appropriate for use in statistical analyses.


    A limited number of summary tables are available. Birth, death, and fetal death tables show events to Oregon residents. Abortion tables include out-of-state residents who obtained abortion services in Oregon, but do not include Oregonians who may have obtained abortions elsewhere.


    The data include all registered records as of the run date shown on the table. It does not include records received but not yet processed by the Center for Health Statistics.

    Border counties will have less complete data because some of their residents experience the vital event outside of Oregon. Out-of-state records are received by the Center for Health Statistics much later than in-state records.

Induced Abortion Data
New induced abortion data dashboard

The Center for Health Statistics has launched a new public data dashboard on abortion and pregnancy in Oregon. Our dashboards aim to present Oregon’s annual vital record data in more accessible, engaging, and interactive ways.

Updated November 7, 2025

The following tables provide the most current statistics on induced abortions in Oregon.
The data represent all abortions performed in Oregon during the current data year. That is, the data constitute events associated with the place of occurrence rather than the "residence data" used in estimating births. This is necessary because many abortions obtained out-of-state by Oregon residents are not reported to Oregon’s Center for Health Statistics. It reflects the great variation in abortion reporting procedures among states (e.g., some states do not record the patient’s residence) as well as the fact that a comprehensive data collection network among all states, similar to that used in reporting births, does not exist in regard to abortions.

​Be sure to check out our birth & pregnancy annual report data dashboards as well for final abortion data on a number of additional topics, as well as statewide counts and rates from 1980 onward.

Life Expectancy in Oregon by Census Tract 

For the first time ever, public health officials, community leaders, and others working to improve health
can access census tract level data to measure and compare differences in life expectancy in nearly every neighborhood across the country. A new national report on life expectancy at the census tract level reveals that how long you live can vary widely depending on the Oregon neighborhood you call home.
The data shows estimated life expectancy at birth for the period 2010-2015. Life expectancy at birth is the average number of years a newborn is expected to live if mortality rates at the time of birth remain the same. Census tracts include an average of 4,000 people who typically have similar characteristics, such as social and economic status.

The national report is part of the United States Small-Area Life Expectancy Estimates Project (USALEEP). USALEEP is a joint effort of the National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Systems, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The report is based on state death records and population estimates from the U.S. Bureau of the Census.


County-level and statewide estimates of life expectancy at birth are published every year by the Oregon Center for Health Statistics.
