Vital Statistics

I woke up feeling very pregnant this morning -- so I made a graph about the number of births in our community.  It seems like every couple of days, I get a call from a friend who has baby stuff to give me. Our storage area is now packed with baby stuff (much of which I have no idea what to do with). Anecdotally, it sure seems like we've had a bit of a baby boom here in the Junction over the past couple of years. The vital stats seem to indicate that... with a slightly higher number of births over the past couple of years. Notable, is the number of births back in the mid-90s... perhaps that's what led to the high school enrolment number that we saw in 1999.

Featured on the same table from the socio-economic portal is the number of deaths -- so I plotted that too.
