Here we go for another edition of Berlin by Numbers. I really do like statistics – they tell so much about Life and Death. Looking at the bare numbers of Birth, Marriage and Death can be – refreshing…? I don’t know. And Berlin statistics are then again special in their own way, since the city has changed quite a bit over the past decades.
To quickly sum things up: more Berliners are born, less are dying – and more and more children are born to unmarried parents. And now – enjoy the data table:
| Year | Marriages | Births | born to unmarried parents | born dead | Deaths | died in their first year | surplus of births/deaths | |||||
