Vital Statistics of the United States 1937
Abstract
These compilations on vital statistics in the United States for 1937 contain an enormous amount of information. From them it is possible to obtain almost any desired information on deaths in the United States: their causes, racial distribution, geographic distribution and the like. Births are also analyzed in a similar manner. Comparisons with previous years make it possible to follow the trends with considerable accuracy. These annual summaries become increasingly mines of information on vital statistics in this country.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
