Question
I have a researcher trying to find total new births, birth rate, total new deaths and death rate by year at the CSD level. I've found some data at the Health Unit level, but thought I would ask if anyone has come across anything at CSD level or smaller geography before.

Answer

Some datasets that may be of interest - the data frequency for the first two is monthly and the rest are annual:
