NCHS now has an easy way for you to check out where your state stands on a variety of health measures compared with the nation as a whole and other states, including the following:
Mortality from leading causes of death
Birth data, including births to unmarried mothers, teen births, cesarean deliveries, low birthweight births, prenatal care, and preterm births
Households using only wireless phones
Infant mortality rates
Marriage and divorce rates
Percentage of people under 65 without health insurance
I’m thrilled to have discovered this blog, and I love the new Stats by State. I was curious: Are there plans to offer this info in another format like XML, etc.? I could see people (developers) doing a lot of neat mashups, correlations, etc. with this type of information.

Hi Alex,
