born/died//ch
An animated visualization of Swiss birth and death stats using Web graphics. Click 'born' to switch to 'died' statistics. Click and drag to orbit around the map. Visit get.webgl.org for help if you have trouble running the demo, which requires a WebGL-capable browser and computer.

Source: born-died-ch
Data
- Health of newborns 2008 (BFS)
- Swiss mortality tables (BAG)
- Causes of death analysis (BFS)
Much of the Swiss data is part of BEVNAT (Statistik der natürlichen Bevölkerungsbewegung), which is only accessible by government workers via Infostar. We were unable to find the source data in STAT-TAB.
