Query System Updates

New and updated IBIS query modules:

  • 2017 population estimates data were added to the NM-IBIS Population Estimates Query module. The Population Estimates Query Module now includes estimates for years 1990-2017, by year, sex, age, race and Hispanic ethnicity for New Mexico counties, small areas, and 2010 census tract geographies. The population estimates data are provided to the New Mexico Department of Health through a contract with the UNM, Geospatial and Population Studies (GPS) Program. This year, the population counts have been re-estimated going back to 2010. The new population estimates will cause NM-IBIS to produce rates for the 2010-2017 period that may be slightly different from rates calculated by NM-IBIS prior to 5:00 PM, 8/24/2018. Any differences are expected to be very small.(Aug 2018)
  • 2017 death data were added to the NM-IBIS Death Data Query module. The Mortality Query Module now includes data from 308,832 death certificates from years 1999-2017.
