:: Note on data
 
 

 Crude Birth Rate (per 1,000 population) : Number of births in one year divided by midyear population and multiply by 1,000. 
bullet Crude Death Rate (per 1,000 population) : Number of deaths in one year divided by midyear population and multiply by 1,000. 
bullet Natural Growth Rate (percent) : Number of births minus number of deaths divided by midyear population and multiply by 100. 
bullet Infant Mortality Rate (per 1,000 live births) : Number of deaths of infants under age 1 in one year divided by total live births in that year and multiply by 1,000. 
bullet Child (under 5) Mortality Ratio (per 1,000 live births) : Number of deaths of children under age 5 in one year divided by total live births in that year and multiplied by 1,000.
bulletTotal Fertility Rate (TFR) : Average number of children a woman would have throughout her reproductive years, calculated by summing the age-specific fertility rates of women of reproductive age.
bullet Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (percent) : Percent of currently married women age 15 – 49 using contraception. 
bullet Aging Index : Ratio of population age 60 years and over to population age under 15 years 100 persons.
