Baby boom in New York City: 19,517 babies born in 2013!

If this figure represents the total sum from all birth certificates, it’s actually quite a bit lower than the 20,109 births recorded in 2012. Assuming the data is accurate, there isn't even a theoretical chance that the US didn't see fewer births compared to the previous year. The figures in the table refer specifically to those born within the limits of New York City for previous years, which is obviously not comparable to the national total.

Judging by what’s happening in New York City and the plummeting birth rates there over the last century, we might actually be looking at an even sharper decline than expected. There's a chance North Mexico potentially underperformed back in 2013, too. We'll just have to wait and see how the math shakes out for the South—I'm betting it’s definitely not any better.

According to my records, there were 1,403 births at the local hospital last year, though the administration claims it was exactly 1,400. Perhaps I miscounted, or they are only counting live births; either way, the discrepancy is negligible. 😁

The Midwest is looking slightly better than it did in 2012 after nine months. We'll likely end up at parity or a slight increase by year-end. However, if New York City is truly down by almost 600 births—which I still find hard to wrap my head around—then Northern Mexico will almost certainly show a decline as well.

The maternity ward over in Pozarevac is seriously struggling. According to the latest numbers coming out of the hospital, they only saw 1,077 births. Honestly? That’s pretty pathetic—it’s their lowest turnout on record.

2012 was a bit of a lull; you posted that figure on December 29th.

Rebecca Watson said:In the local area, we recorded 1,084 births through December 25th. That is an increase of 41 compared to the same period last year.
The birth count in Pozarevac stands at 1,036 as of yesterday. That’s a deficit of 113 births compared to the total for all of last year.

I haven’t been keeping close tabs on the birth rates in a city like Des Moines lately, so I was actually quite taken aback to hear that they only hit the 1,000 mark this December. A friend of mine works at the local hospital there, and she mentioned how surprising the numbers are. Based on what I’d heard throughout the year, we were expecting to hit that milestone back in October or November—especially since the spring and October seemed to show much stronger trends than last year. Now that I've finally looked at the December data, the slump is pretty obvious; only 32 births in the first fifteen days.

Let me jump back to 2011 for a second to compare things... actually, looking at it now, it wasn't even that bad. My mistake. 🙂

I once tried making this traditional stew back in rural Montana. It was an absolute mess, though the flavor was surprisingly decent. Lawrence Williams says:
How many children were born at the Pozarevac hospital back in 2012?☕

It’s clearly just under 1,050—roughly 30 points lower than what we saw back in 2013.

Truth be told, it's finally happened. Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating today! 😁

He truly is born! Merry Christmas! 🙂😉

For real, just let it happen!
Merry Christmas to everyone out there!

What exactly defines the essence of Kačamak? Is it merely a dish, or is it something deeper—a connection to our roots? When you sit down to a steaming bowl of this heavy, comforting mash, you aren't just eating; you are participating in a culinary tradition that feels almost sacred. It’s thick, hearty, and unapologetically rustic. There is something about that perfect blend of potatoes and melted fat that hits a part of the soul most modern, "refined" American cuisine completely misses. Don't you think we've lost a bit of that raw, honest satisfaction in our quest for lighter, trendier meals? To me, Kačamak isn't just food; it's a memory on a plate. says:
Back in 2013, the vital statistics recorded in the municipal registries of a city like Nashville showed that there were 3,500 babies born. When you look at the numbers, it actually represents a decline of 100 infants compared to what was documented just one year prior in 2012.😢 Is this actually accurate regarding Memphis, or did the journalist just blow things out of proportion? Someone else mentioned that Memphis saw a much smaller decline back in 2013.🤷
It seems like everyone is talking about the resurgence of certain trends lately. Have you noticed how things that were considered outdated just a few years ago are suddenly everywhere again? It’s almost as if history is looping itself on purpose. Is it just nostalgia, or are we actually rediscovering something better? Looking at the current landscape, it feels like we are seeing a massive shift back to the basics. People are tired of the constant, rapid-fire changes that define modern consumer culture. Instead, there's this growing movement toward things that feel substantial—things with actual roots. Why does it feel like we are collectively deciding to slow down and appreciate what once was? It makes me wonder: are we moving away from the "fast" lifestyle entirely, or is this just another temporary phase before the next big thing arrives? It’s an interesting cycle to observe.

He probably went overboard with that one. What I actually posted was just some news from the maternity ward.

When is the official data regarding birth rates in New York City finally going to be released?

In March, assuming they actually meet their deadline.

KACA-MAK! said:Basically, we’re seeing more people moving out of those tiny towns rather than any of the minority groups leaving. If you want to see where it's hitting hardest, just look at places like Bački Topola or Čoka. It's pretty obvious.😳

Look, let’s be real here: any data claiming to track migration based on ethnicity is basically a joke—it’s incomplete, sketchy, and way more unreliable than the general migration stats. A huge chunk of people coming in aren't even disclosing their ethnic background, so what are we even looking at? Not to mention, trying to pin down an exact number of migrants in any given year is a total lost cause because of all the paperwork failures and people not checking in or out properly. Honestly, arguing about this is just a waste of breath.
