English translation:birth inside/outside (the) city limits
Explanation:
This is the expression I've seen in many birth certificates from the U.S. Next to it there are boxes wherein you put a check mark or otherwise circle the correct answer.

It means if it is inside or outside the limits of the main city of the corresponding county, state, province, etc., it depends on the country, wherein the birth took place.

Hope it helps, Sery

neighborhood birth


Explanation:
Assuming "población" is the same in Perú as in Chile, it would mean in a neighborhood (Mexican equivalent is "colonia").

Born out in the neighborhood, at a home, not at a hospital.

Could be a neighborhood clinic, that\'s still in a neighborhood, which would leave the term still valid, though I don\'t know why the distinction would be made.

Could be just as simple as \"A birth in the population\" because I have not been able to confirm that Peruvians actually do use the term the same way the Chileans do, and it is something I do not recall.
