INTRODUCTION
The thirty-first annual report of the Bureau of Vital Statistics presents
information regarding North Carolina's population, births, and deaths. The
majority of the tabulations are by place of residence; selected items are
given by place of occurrence.
The first annual report appeared in 1914, Publication of succeeding re-ports
has taken place for all years since that date, with the exception of
1918 and 1919.
Certificates for births and deaths occurring in 1946 that were filed in
1946 and the first three months of 1947 have been included in this report.
It is estimated that approximately 98 per cent of the certificates that will
ever be filed for 1946 vital events were received within this period.
Population
Population estimates prepared by any method during the past few years
must be considered as being less accurate than those for more stable times;
however, it is believed that the errors are not sufficiently great to inter-fere
seriously with the use of these data for vital statistics purposes.
The mid-year population of North Carolina, excluding armed forces over-seas,
as estimated by the United States Bureau of the Census for 1946, was
3,640,645. The estimate for 1945 was 3,514,297. The increase in 1946,
therefore, amounted to 126,348. Undoubtedly some of this increase was
due to returning servicemen; however, the natural increase (excess of
births over deaths) for 1946 was 71,717, which was the largest natural
increase in the history of the state.
In Table I is presented an estimate of the population of the state by age,
color, and sex. The first step in the preparation of this estimate was the
calculation of the per cent of the total United States population in each of
these age, sex, and color groups based on the 1940 census. TTie same calcula-tion
was then made for the years since 1940, based on the Census Bureau
estimates of the population in these same groups. The per cent of North
Carolina's population in each age, color, and sex group in the 1940 census
was obtained next. It was assumed that the North Carolina percentages in
these groups changed in the same way as the percentages for the nation.
By applying these percentages to the Census Bureau's estimates of North
Carolina's total population for each year, the totals in the various groups
were obtained.
Natality
There were 100,087 live births reported in 1946 for residents of the state.
This exceeded by 4,540 births the number reported in 1943, which was the
highest annual total recorded prior to 1946. The crude birth rate for 1946
was 27.5 births per 1000 population as compared to 25.0 for 1945. Births
occurring in North Carolina for residents and nonresidents totaled 101,178
for the year.
There were 2,513 stillbirths reported in 1946 for residents of the state. The
6 North Carolina Bureau of Vital Statistics
1945 total was 2,248. The 1946 rate was 25.1 stillbirths per 1000 population
while the rate for 1945 was 25.6. If stillbirths were considered as a single
cause of death, they would rank fifth between cancer (4th) and pneumonia
(6th) as a leading cause of death in this state.
Mortality
In 1946 there were 28,370 resident deaths recorded in the state. The crude
death rate was 7.8 deaths per 1000 population. This compares favorably
with the 1945 rate of 8.1. Diseases of the heart accounted for the largest
number of deaths, amounting to 23 per cent of the total deaths from all
causes.
There has been an extensive change in the death rates for the various age
groups since the recording of vital statistics began. These rates for the
years 1920 and 1946 are as follows:

in 1945. The 1946 maternal mortality rate was 2.1 deaths per 1,000 live
births as compared to 2.7 in 1945.
It is encouraging to note that the infant mortality rate has been de-creased
by approximately 53 per cent in the last twenty-five years, while
the maternal mortality rate has decreased by 74 per cent. The 1922 rates
were 79.5 infant deaths and 8.0 maternal deaths per 1,000 live births.
Rates
All rates used in this report are crude rates unlsss otherwise specified.
Such rates are not adjusted for deviations in the age, sex, or color distribu-tion
of the population or for under-registration and late reporting. Such
factors, plus the knowledge that population figures are estimated, should
be kept in mind when comparing two different areas or time periods.
Changes in this Report
An effort has been made to improve the usefulness of this report by re-vising
certain tables previously presented, omitting others, and adding
new material considered to be of more current interest. Information con-tained
in the omitted tables can be supplied upon request.
The table numbers have been changed and headings have been reword-ed.
The population estimates for counties now include color and percentage
distribution. Crude rates for citites in certain tables have been omitted due
to lack of reliable city population data.
The following 1945 tables have been ommitted: ,
1. Death rates in each county from nine important causes, with estimat-ed
population (Table IX).
2. Cases and deaths of reportable communicable diseases (Table X).
3. Death rates from ten important causes, with estimated population for
each year, 1914-1945 (Table XI).
The tables appearing in this report for the first time are:
1. Estimated population for North Carolina by age, color, and sex
(Table I).
2. Ten leading causes of death of residents by age, color, and sex, three-year
average, 1944-1946 (Table XIII).
3. Ten leading causes of death of residents by five-year intervals showing
rank and rates, 1921-1946 (Table XIV).
4. Stillbirths by county, color, and sex, with rates per 1000 live births
(Table XV).
5. Stillbirths of residents by age and color of mother, and by attendant
(Table XVI).
