There were 118,400 more births than deaths in 2023, a rise from 106,700 in 2022 as the number of deaths declined from their COVID pandemic peak."With immigration processing backlogs largely eliminated and deaths returning to long-term trends, a stable foundation for continued growth has returned," the department said in a statement.
