Queens 2009 birth and death stats

From the Times Ledger:

Queens led New York City in deaths from seven diseases and other lethal causes in the latest statistical health snapshot of the city, but life expectancy in the five boroughs hit a new all-time high.

Life expectancy for New Yorkers has increased to an average of 79.4 years, a gain of almost five months since 2006.

Queens was No. 1 in the city for deaths from cancer of the kidney and central nervous system, cardiomyopathy, emphysema, pregnancy, childbirth, puerperion and complications from medical and surgical care.

For the first time since 1999, deaths did not decline in the city, rising to 54,193 from 54,073 in 2007.

1. A total of 44.6 percent of Queens women who gave birth were unmarried. In the Bronx, it was 70.6 percent, in Brooklyn 42.3 percent, in Manhattan 35.6 percent and in Staten Island 34 percent.

2. In Queens, 70 percent of births were to foreign-born women. In Brooklyn, it was 43.7 percent, in the Bronx 49.1 percent, in Manhattan 43.7 percent and in Staten Island 35.9 percent.

3. In Elmhurst-Corona, 89.4 percent of births were to foreign-born women. Otherwise, it was Sunnyside-Woodside at 77.7 percent, Woodhaven at 72.7 percent, Rego Park-Forest Hills at 70.6 percent, Howard Beach at 67.1 percent and Bayside at 66.6 percent.

4. The city had 89,465 abortions with 17,453 in Queens, 20,250 in the Bronx, 27,715 in Brooklyn, 13,288 in Manhattan and 2,790 in Staten Island.

5. Seven community districts citywide had less than 2 percent of births to teenagers. Bayside was at 1.1 percent, Rego Park-Forest Hills at 1.2 percent, Jamaica-St. Albans had 865 births to teens, Jackson Heights had 717 and Elmhurst-Corona had 577.

Ethnically, the highest number of births in Queens were to Mexican women (2,477), Chinese (2,413), African American (2,180) and Ecuadorian (2,050).

"A total of 44.6 percent of Queens women who gave birth were unmarried. In the Bronx, it was 70.6 percent, in Brooklyn 42.3 percent, in Manhattan 35.6 percent and in Staten Island 34 percent"

I assumed these stats either came from whether the person checked off unmarried during the hospital or from looking at the city's marriage bureaus information.

If that is the case, the reality might be different and the percentage will be much smaller. There are people that are married mentally, but legally are not. They are still together, but on paper they say they are not marry due to a few reasons:

1) illegal immigrants
2) married in their country but not here and don't bother to do it again.
3) just decide to just live together
4) to get the welfare benefit of single mother. (they are acting like they are single moms so they can get benefits like free diapers, food, health care etc. But they are actually together with some guy. In fact, some are earning cash (sometimes more than 6k/month in cash combined) and still getting the freebies like health care, diapers and food, etc.

Number 4 should actually be like the number 1 reason on the David Lettermen "Top 10 reasons why over 45% of women in the 5 boroughs who
gave birth are unmarried".

Why would you get married when you can have 5 or 6 kids and have everything paid for? Sounds like a winning situation to me. Cut the welfare benefits to single mothers off at 1 child and watch the birth rate drop.

"Chinese" is an ethnicity? But all the geniuses at Queens Crap KNOW that "Asian" is an ethnicity.

Oh, and I love how you tagged this post "illegal aliens" even though there's no mention of it anywhere in the article. That's the good, solid totally subjective journalism I expect from QC.

Queens Crapper said...

The point is that you can define "ethnic" however you choose to. If you like this one, then fine.

And I tagged the post "illegal aliens" because we know they're here, contributing to our birth rate, draining our services and having multiple anchor babies.

Sorry that you don't like reality.

I've got no beef with reality. And I don't deny that illegals do the things you allege.

BUT... this is a prime example of why bloggy blogs will never replace reputable news sources. One guy with an agenda filters the news he likes and tags it as he feels appropriate - no editors, no ombudsman, no fact-checkers, just the guy and his opinions and opinion-driven coverage of the news.

This site is amusing, but it's hard to respect as long as there are no standards for objectivity.

Queens Crapper said...

Uh, yeah, so the fuck what? You're also against the first amendment? I never touted this site as a "reputable news source." It's a freakin' hobby.

And do you seriously think what you see on TV is objective? Especially when our turd of a mayor buys is coverage? Talk about one guy with an agenda...

Please.

The newspapers with their editors, ombudsmen and fact-checkers are wrong more often than this site is. After all, an opinion can't be right or wrong. It just is.

If it annoys you so much what you read here, why bother to come?

Auntie Invasion said...

obviously as soon as illegal immigrants land here they either give birth or get pregnant.

Liberal Americans, wake up! Mexicans don't give a crap about their carbon footprint, neither do the Chinese or the Ecuadoreans, the Peruvians or the Bolivians. they are here to grab whatever they can from you.

this is called the "Jackpot" or "Anchor" Babies. The illegals are not eligible for US government benefits but their offspring born here are. somehow this translates into the grandparents being eligible for social security.

Are there any statistics done on illegal immigrants who come here ready to drop in order to have their babies in Queens?

Or what about the crime statistics on sex trafficking, prostitution and black market babies/child sales? that would be interesting to put the two next to each other.

No wonder our hospitals are shutting down. these people do not pay medical bills.

Can I migrate to Mexico and run a scam on the Mexican government? which liberal agency would aid me in doing that?

Illegals please go home and take your little meal tickets with you. since we are paying for their pampers, formula and their rent they are not so cute after all .

On 61st st. in Woodside, the Mexican baby machines pushing double strollers and holding three children are the invading army. did they ever hear of ZPG -Zero population Growth?
I knew things were bad in Woodside, Sunnyside but dam, 77%??

tie their tubes as a condition of living in the USA or else DEPORT THEM NOW.

the overpopulation is La Raza's main plan to invade and over run the US with Mexicans.
