CDC WONDER Data as a Service
About the Dataset
CDC WONDER data as a service: mortality, natality, and cancer statistics from CDC WONDER, delivered as analysis-ready SQL tables on Snowflake and Databricks. Instead of pulling manual exports from the CDC WONDER web tool (wonder.cdc.gov, CDC's free interactive query site) one query at a time, you get the same federal statistics — underlying-cause and multiple-cause mortality, natality, cancer incidence, and notifiable-disease counts — as maintained database tables you can join, filter, and trend with plain SQL, refreshed monthly as CDC publishes.
This data ships as part of the CDC Open Data Product — 1,500+ CDC datasets in one Snowflake database — so subscribing once covers WONDER-derived statistics plus the broader CDC open-data catalog.

Access
Interactive web forms, one query at a time

Automation
Manual exports; API has strict rate limits
No rate limits; schedule any query
Joins
Not possible across databases
Join mortality, natality, and 1,500+ other CDC datasets in one warehouse

Re-request per query
Maintained tables, refreshed monthly as CDC publishes
Suppressed cells
Handled per-export
Consistent handling across the catalog

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get CDC WONDER data as a service, instead of using the web tool? Yes — that is exactly what this product is. WONDER-derived mortality, natality, and cancer statistics are delivered as analysis-ready tables on Snowflake and Databricks, refreshed monthly, as part of the CDC Open Data Product.
Which WONDER databases are included? 14 WONDER databases spanning underlying-cause and multiple-cause mortality (from 1999), provisional mortality, natality (from 2007), and cancer statistics — 240+ extracted datasets, growing as CDC publishes new releases.
How is this different from data.cdc.gov? data.cdc.gov hosts CDC's open-data catalog; CDC WONDER is a separate query system whose statistics are not available as bulk tables. This product delivers both in one subscription: the open-data catalog and WONDER-derived statistics, side by side in the same database.
How often is the data updated? Monthly. Our pipeline monitors CDC for new releases and loads them automatically — no manual refresh needed.
