Oregon Birth Data

Oregon State law requires records to be completed for all live births. These birth records are the primary data sources for health information shown on these pages.

Preliminary Birth Data (Updated 06/05/2026)

Preliminary data undergo quality assurance and editing procedures that can result in frequent and significant changes. Please use caution when interpreting these data.

These data dashboards represent final statistics on births in Oregon. Final data has undergone extensive quality assurance and editing procedures compared to preliminary dash data. New birth data are added each year in late spring.
