There were 1,704 resident fetal deaths reported in 1966 resulting in a ratio of 18.4 fetal deaths per 1,000 live births. The reporting of these events has declined in recent years in approximately the same proportion as the live births. Deaths Marriages of previously single grooms to previously single brides accounted for 77.8 per cent of all 1966 weddings. 16.6 per cent of the brides and 15.9 per cent of the grooms had been previously married one or more times. The percentage of teen-age marriages has been increasing gradually each year since 1962, the year in which central registration of marriages was begun in this state. Table 2 shows the number and per cent of brides and grooms under age twenty from 1962-1966. Resident deaths for North Carolina totaled 42,218 in 1966, an increase of 557 over the previous year. Heart disease, the leading cause, accounted for more than one-third of all deaths. Cancer and other malignant neoplasms was the second leading cause followed by intracranial vascular lesions. Motor vehicle accidents ranl<ed fourth although influenza and pneumonia still holds this position in the 1962-1966 five-year average. The growing significance of motor vehicle accidents is indicated by the fact that it is the leading cause of death in the 5-14 and 15-24 year age groups. Infant and Maternal Mortality Resident infant deaths (under one year of age) totaled 2,685 in 1966 yielding a rate of 29.0 per 1,000 live births. Of this number, 1,726 were neonatal deaths (under 28 days). Figure 4 shows annual infant, neonatal, and postneonatal mortality rates by color since 1940. The infant death rate has traditionally been higher among the nonwhite population but is now declining more rapidly than is the white rate. Deaths from maternal causes totaled 36 in 1966, the lowest number ever recorded in this state. Deaths from these causes have declined proportion-ately with the increase in the number of deliveries by physicians in hospitals. Marriages There were 43,482 marriages recorded for 1966, an increase of 2,815 over the previous year. Resident totals for marriages are not available since there is no interstate reciprocal exchange of these events. There were 10,241 marriages in which the residence of both bride and groom was outside the state.

ANNUAL BIRTH AND DEATH RATES AND RATE OF NATURAL INCREASE BY COLOR: NORTH CAROLINA, 1940-1966 Figure 3a WHITE EXPLANATORY NOTES Source and Completeness of Data Tables published in this report are based on records filed with the Office of Vital Statistics of the North Carolina State Board of Health. These records include birth, death, fetal death, and marriage certificates and listings of divorces and annulments granted in North Carolina. Tables contain all 1966 events received by the Office of Vital Statistics prior to April I, 1967. In addition to the vital events which occurred in the state, births and deaths which occurred to North Carolina residents in other states are also included in this report. These certificates are reallocated through an interstate exchange provided by the National Center for Health Statistics. It is estimated that less than one per cent of the 1966 events will be reported too late to be included in this report. The completeness of birth registration was tested in I9H0 and 1950 by the United States Bureau of the Census. These tests revealed that North Carolina's birth registration completeness rose from 86.1 per cent in 1910 to 96.1 per cent in 1950. Completeness of reporting has continued to rise since these tests. Death registration is estimated to be almost 100 per cent complete. This is due not only to the legal requirements but also to the almost universal demand for death certificates in settling estates, collecting insurance benefits, etc. Some under-registration, however, may occur for deaths under one year of age, particularly among those dying in the f i rst day of 1 ife. Fetal death registration is less complete than either births or deaths. North Carolina law requires that a fetal death certificate be filed forastillbom child of 20 weeks or more gestation; therefore, over two-thirds of the estimated total fetal losses are not required to be reported. In addition, there is assumed to be significant underregi strati on of reportable fetal deaths, particularly in the 20-27 weeks gestational ages. Marriage registration was tested in 1963 by the National Center for Health Statistics. This test indicated that "over 99 per cent of issued licenses terminated in a properly recorded marriage". Divorces and annulments are not registered on official certificates in North Carolina. These events are reported on lists completed by clerks of courts. The completeness of these lists is not known. Data Collection System Each month vital records are forwarded to the Office of Vital Statistics from each registration area in North Carolina. Records are received from local registrars, registers of deeds, and clerks of courts. With a few exceptions, each county is a registration area. The register of deeds is the local custodian of birth and death records, and the local health director serves as registrar in most counties. The North Carolina Vital Statistics laws require that birth certificates be filed with the local registrar within 5 days by the attending physician, midwife or other person attending the birth. Statutes also require the funeral director or any other person disposing of a body to file a certificate of death or fetal death with the local registrar within 72 hours after death or before burial. The local registrar forwards these records to the Office of Vital Statistics on the fifth day of each month. Since 1962, certificates of marriage have been required to be filed with the Office of Vital Statistics. The county register of deeds is responsible for fi 1 ing these records by the f i fteenth of the month following the event. The law directs the clerk of court in which a divorce (or annulment) is granted to report the divorce (or annulment) to the Office of Vital Statistics by the fifteenth of each month. Classification of Data The major classifications of birth and death data in this report are: geographic area, color and sex. Certain data are classified by the institution of occurrence and attendant. Births are grouped by age of mother, total-birth order, and birth weight. Fetal deaths are classified by age of mother and attendant. Deaths (excluding fetal deaths) are classified by age group, sex and the "underlying cause of death". Marriages and divorces are classified by county and month of occurrence. Marriages are further grouped by age of bride and groom, previous marital status and number of previous marriages. Divorces are classified by grounds and number of children. The 100 counties of North Carolina are the major geographic subdivisions tabulated in this report. Some data are given for cities with a population of 10,000 or more in the I960 census. Table A-iJ gives data for each county by urban and rural areas. Urban is defined as inside the corporate limits of any incorporated place with a population of 2,500 or more in the I960 census, and rural includes the balance of the county. Events are assigned to an area on the basis of two criteria, residence and occurrence. Residence is defined as the place where a person lives or maintains his legal residence, and events are assigned to that place regardless of where they occurred. Residence of the mother is used for assigning births and infant deaths. For deaths in hospitals and other institutions, the usual residence prior to admission to the institution is used. Occurrence is defined as the place where the event occurred regardless of the residence of the person. Births and deaths are given by both residence and occurrence. Fetal, infant and maternal deaths are shown by residence only. Marriages, divorces and annulments, and accidental death tables are given by occurrence only. In the accidental death tables it should be noted that the area listed is the place of death. This is not necessarily the same as the place of the accident. Some events are classified according to the institution of occurrence. The term" hospi tal" refers to a general and allied hospital which is defined by the North Carolina Medical Care Commission as a place where two or more non-related individuals reside 24 hours or more on the premises and receive medical care over and above any domiciliary care. Included inall other institutions are the following: tuberculosis and veterans hospitals; physician's offices; mental, chronic, and penal institutions; and domiciliary institutions such as orphanages, rest homes, colleges, etc. The major racial divisions used in this report are white and nonwhite. With few exceptions the nonwhite class is characteristic of Negroes. North Carolina's population is about 74 per cent white, 25 per cent Negro andabout I per cent other nonwhi te groups. Indians make up the majority of the remaining I per cent. There are two concentrations of Indians in North Carolina. One is in and around Swain County in the western mountains and one in Robeson County and nearby southeastern counties. Age reporting on vital statistics records is subject to some error. There is a tendency for individuals to round ages and consequently there is over reporting of ages ending in the digits and 5. There is a tendency to overstate the ages of very young children, those nearing their 21st and 65th birthdays and those overage 85. From age 22 through middle age there is a tencency to understate age. These errors are partially offset by using age groups in most tabulations. Cause of death is classified from information in the medical certification section of the death certificate. This portion of the certificate is completed by the attending physician. In the case of an unattended death, the local health director, coroner, or medical examiner is responsible for investigation and certification. The cause selected is the "underlying cause" which is classified according to the 7th revision of the MANUAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL STATISTICAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES, INJURIES, AND CAUSES OF DEATH. Due to prior changes and revision of the rules for classifying the cause of death, data preceding 1949 cannot be accurately compared with that of later years. Comparability ratios for specific causes of death may be obtained upon request. Method of Estimating Population Rates and Ratios Estimates are prepared by the Office of Vital Statistics for the white and nonwhite population of the state, each county and for selected cities with 10,000 population or more in the I960 census. Population is estimated as of July I by the arithmetic or straight line method. This method assumes that each population subdivision (county, city or color group) had an annual numerical increase (or decrease) equal to one tenth the numerical increase (or decrease) recorded between the census years 1950-1960. Past estimates made by this method have proved to be as accurate as any other in reflecting the changes in North Carolina's population. A recent test again confirmed this. The United States Bureau of the Census conducted a special census in 21 North Carolina counties in November 1965 and January 1966. The total census count in these 21 counties (adjusted to July I, 1965) was 1,170,266 compared with a straight line estimate of 1,171,105. The difference between the two totals was only 839. Only four of the 21 counties showed a difference of more than 5 per cent between the census count and the estimate. The largest deviation was 7.17 per cent. The average deviation for the 21 counties was 3.16 per cent. Rates are calculated for births and deaths by dividing the number of events by the estimated midyear population and multiplying the quotient by 1,000. Such rates have not been adjusted for differences in the age, sex, race, rural or urban distribution of the population, or for under-registration or late reporting. These factors plus the limitation of population estimates should be kept in mind when comparing two different areas or time periods. When reviewing the tables the reader should also keep in mind the limitations of small numbers. There are fluctuations in all statistics which are due to chance. This factor is especially important in categories with small frequencies. Where small frequences occur slight variations are proportion-ately large in relation to the base number. For example, small changes in the number of births or deaths in small population groups may make large changes in these rates. For this reason, and because population estimates for small areas are less reliable, rates for cities and counties should be used with caution.

Fetal Deaths
This state defines a fetal death as a fetus
showing no evidence of life after complete birth
when the 20th week of gestation has been reached.
There were 1,704 resident fetal deaths reported in
1966 resulting in a ratio of 18.4 fetal deaths per
1,000 live births. The reporting of these events
has declined in recent years in approximately the
same proportion as the live births.
Deaths
Marriages of previously single grooms to
previously single brides accounted for 77.8 per cent
of all 1966 weddings. 16.6 per cent of the brides
and 15.9 per cent of the grooms had been previously
married one or more times.
The percentage of teen-age marriages has been
increasing gradually each year since 1962, the year
in which central registration of marriages was begun
in this state. Table 2 shows the number and per
cent of brides and grooms under age twenty from
1962-1966.
Resident deaths for North Carolina totaled
42,218 in 1966, an increase of 557 over the previous
year. Heart disease, the leading cause, accounted
for more than one-third of all deaths. Cancer and
other malignant neoplasms was the second leading
cause followed by intracranial vascular lesions.
