Abstract:

Detailed statistical tables provide data on birth and fertility rates by racial group (Blacks or Whites, and Hispanic Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Other or Non-Hispanic Blacks and Whites) and states, regions, and the country as a whole. Table 1 provides data on maternal race (White or Black) by states for number of live births, birth rates, fertility rates, and total fertility rates. Table 2 provides state-level data for race (White and Black) birth rates in 5-year age groups and the total fertility rate by race; smaller adolescent age groups are provided. Table 3 provides birth rates by state and race (White and Black) by live birth order. Table 4 provides birth rates for unmarried mothers aged 15-17 years and 18-19 years and 5-year ages thereafter and race (Black and White). Tables for the detailed Hispanic groups are provided in tables 5 through 8, comparable to tables 1 through 4. States are included only if they had more than 1000 Hispanic origin births in 1990. Tables 9 and 10 provide birth and fertility rates for American Indian and Asian or Pacific Islander. The highest unmarried mother birth rates were among black mothers aged 20-24 years (144.8/100 unmarried women in the specified group), followed closely by black mothers aged 18-19 years (143.7). White unmarried mother birth rates were highest among those aged 20-24 years (65.1), followed closely by unmarried mothers aged 18-19 years (60.7).
