CDC: births and deaths in the US both increased in 2014

[Tender Branson]

2014:

3,997,000 births and 2,625,000 deaths.

2013:

3,940,000 births and 2,594,000 deaths.

Births are up by 1.5% and deaths by 1.2%

The birth rate increased from 12.5/1000 people to 12.6, while the death rate remained unchanged at 8.2/1000 - which means the natural increase was 4.4 vs. 4.3/1000.

The infant mortality rate was 5.7/1000 live births (down from 5.8 in 2013).

I was bored, so here's a little chart for each state showing 2014 population, births, birth rate, deaths, death rate, natural increase and natural increase rate and a few maps:
