(Related: Census Table Shows 37-Year-Olds Are Great Prospects)
The agency posted a big file of birth data along with files on other topics, such as income, health insurance ownership and disability status.
The birth numbers file might be one of the most useful ones for marketers, because having a baby creates an obvious need for personal protection insurance products.

For financial professionals, looking at the columns showing birth numbers broken out by the mom's education level may be a better way to identify communities with a large number of new parents who can afford more insurance.
