Marcus, I agree, it sounds kinda weird even to me. Maybe \"Statistics\" alone is a better solution (although I personally know nothing other than Vital Statistics)

neutral  Marcus Malabad: Michele, hmmm..."vital statistics" might be misunderstood to mean the measurements of a woman's figures (as in beauty pageants), no?

  -> I appreciate your concern! But the only such state office I've ever had to deal with was called Vital Statistics. I would venture it's standard in the U.S. http://www.state.de.us/dhss/dph/vs.htm http://www.doh.state.fl.us/planning_eval/vital_statistics/
agree  roneill: US usage

agree  Lori Dendy-Molz: The beauty pageant usage is somewhat tongue-in-cheek

Provincial Office of Statistics


Explanation:
To the native English speaker, the word "state" conjures up the image of a "national" entity. The term "Land" can be translated as "state" but "province" is to be preferred in this context, since it conveys the concept of regionality.
