Abstract
ObjectivesThis report presents 2014 data on U.S. births
according to a wide variety of characteristics. Data are presented for
maternal age, live-birth order, race and Hispanic origin, marital status,
attendant at birth, method of delivery, period of gestation, birthweight,
and plurality. Birth and fertility rates are presented by age, live-birth
order, race and Hispanic origin, and marital status. Selected data by
mothers state of residence and birth rates by age and race of father
also are shown. Trends in fertility patterns and maternal and infant
characteristics are described and interpreted.

Highlights
+ A total of 3,988,076 births were registered in the United States
in 2014, up 1% from 2013. The number of births rose among
each of the largest race and Hispanic origin groups (nonHispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Hispanic women) from
2013 to 2014.
+ The general fertility rate rose less than 1% from 2013 to 62.9
births per 1,000 women aged 1544. The total fertility rate also
rose in 2014, to 1,862.5 births per 1,000 women.
+ The birth rate for teenagers aged 1519 declined 9% from 2013
to 2014, to 24.2 births per 1,000 females aged 1519, yet another
historic low for the nation; rates declined for teenagers in all race
and Hispanic origin groups.
+ Birth rates also declined to a record low for women in their early
20s in 2014. Rates rose for women in their late 20s, 30s, and early
40s from 2013 through 2014; the rate for women in their late 40s
was unchanged.
+ The mean age of mother at first birth rose again in 2014 to 26.3,
up from 26.0 in 2013.
+ The birth rate for unmarried women fell for the sixth consecutive
year, to 43.9 per 1,000 unmarried women aged 1544 in 2014.
The number of nonmarital births increased 1% from 2013 to
1,604,870 births in 2014. The percentage of births to unmarried
women was down 1%, to 40.2% in 2014.
+ The cesarean delivery rate declined for the second straight year
to 32.2% of all U.S. births in 2014. Declines in cesarean deliveries
were seen for each of the largest race and Hispanic origin groups
from 2013 through 2014.
+ The preterm birth rate (less than 37 weeks) was 9.57% in 2014,
down slightly from 2013 and down 8% from 2007. The preterm
rate among singleton births has declined 10% since 2007.
+ The 2014 rate of low birthweight (less than 2,500 grams) was
8.00%, essentially unchanged from 2013, but 3% lower than the
2006 high (8.26%).
+ The twin birth rate was 33.9 per 1,000 in 2014, which was
not significantly higher than the rate for 2013 (33.7), but was
a new high for the nation. The triplet and higher-order
multiple birth rate (triplet/+) dropped another 5% in 2014 to
113.5 per 100,000 births and is down by more than 40% since
the 1998 high.
Introduction
This report presents detailed data on numbers and charac
teristics of births in 2014, birth and fertility rates, maternal
demographic and health characteristics, place and attendant at
birth, and infant health characteristics. A report of preliminary birth
statistics for 2014 presented data on selected topics based on a
substantial sample (99.71%) of 2014 births (1). In addition to the
tabulations included in this report, more detailed analysis is
possible by using the natality public-use file issued each year.
The data file may be downloaded from: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/
data_access/Vitalstatsonline.htm (2). The public-use file does not
include geographic detail; a file with this information may be
available upon special request (3). Birth data may also be
accessed via VitalStats, a data access and analysis tool, that
includes birth data for 1990 through 2014, with more than 100
variables, including geographic information by state and for
counties with populations of 100,000 or more (4).

Methods
Data shown in this report are based on 100% of the birth
certificates registered in all states and DC. More than 99% of births
occurring in this country are registered (11). Tables showing data by
state also provide separate information for Puerto Rico, Virgin
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and Commonwealth of the
Northern Marianas. These areas, however, are not included in totals
for the United States.
Race and Hispanic origin are reported independently on the birth
certificate. In tabulations of birth data by race and Hispanic origin, data
for Hispanic persons are not further classified by race because the
majority of women of Hispanic origin are reported as white. Most tables
in this report show data for the categories of non-Hispanic white,
non-Hispanic black, and Hispanic. Data for births are also presented
in some tables for American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN) and Asian
or Pacific Islander (API); for specific Hispanic groups Mexican, Puerto
Rican, Cuban, and Central and South American; and for other and
unknown Hispanic. Data for AIAN and API births are not shown
separately by Hispanic origin because the majority of these populations
are non-Hispanic. Text references to black births and black mothers or
to white births and white mothers are used interchangeably for ease
in writing; see Technical Notes.
The 2003 revision of the U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth
allows the reporting of more than one race (multiple races) for each
parent (5) in accordance with the revised standards issued by the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) in 1997 (12). See Technical Notes
and the User Guide (11) for detailed information on the 2014 multiple-
race reporting area and methods used to bridge responses for those
who report more than one race to a single race.
In this report, the total number of births includes births to women
up to age 64. In tables that include age of mother, the oldest age groups
shown (4054, 4549, 4554, or 5054) include births to mothers up
to age 64. For information on levels of incomplete reporting by state,
see the User Guide (11). For information on the measurement of data
items shown in this report and the Internet tables, imputation techniques
used, computation of derived statistics, and definitions of terms, see
the User Guide (11).
The 2014 population estimates for the specific Hispanic population
groups derived from the American Community Survey were not avail
able as of the preparation of this report. Accordingly, birth and fertility
rates for these groups are not shown in this report but will be available
in forthcoming expanded Tables 5, 7, 8, and 14. For more information
on populations for Hispanic groups, see Technical Notes and the User
Guide (11).

Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) standards. Forty-nine states and the District of Columbia reported multiple-race data in 2014. The multiple-race data for these states were bridged to the single-race categories of the 1977 OMB
standards for comparability with other states; see Technical Notes. Multiple-race reporting areas vary for 2007, 2013, and 2014; see Technical Notes.

Includes persons of Hispanic and non-Hispanic origin and origin not stated, according to the mothers reported race; see Technical Notes.

and 5; Figure 2). From 2007 through 2010, the number of births
declined steadily, but the pace of decline slowed from 2010 through
2013.
Among the three largest race and Hispanic origin groups, births
rose 1% for non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Hispanic
women from 2013 to 2014. The number of births rose for API women
as well, up 6% in 2014, but declined 2% for AIAN women. Among the
specified Hispanic groups, births rose 2% for Puerto Rican, 4% for
Central and South American, and 7% for Cuban women. The number
of births was essentially unchanged for Mexican women in 2014.
Fertility rate
The general fertility rate (GFR) for the United States in 2014 was
62.9 births per 1,000 women aged 1544, up slightly (less than 1%)
from 2013 (62.5), which was a record low rate for the nation (Tables 1
and 5; Figure 2). This marks the first increase in the rate since 2007.
The fertility rate declined steadily from 2007 through 2013, with the
paceofdeclineslowingfrom2010through2013.
The GFR rose 1% for the largest race and Hispanic origin group
(non-Hispanic white women) from 2013 to 2014. However, the rate
declined 1% for Hispanic women and was essentially unchanged for
non-Hispanic black women. The GFR also declined 3% for AIAN
women, but rose 3% for API women.
Age of mother
Birth rates declined for women aged 1524 from 2013 to 2014,
rose for women aged 2544, and were unchanged for women aged
1014 and 4549.
TeenagersThe teen birth rate for the United States in 2014 was
24.2 births per 1,000 females aged 1519, down 9% from 2013 (26.5)
and yet another historic low for the nation (Tables A, 3, 4, 7, and 8;
Figures 1 and 3) (1316). The rate has fallen 61% since 1991 (61.8),
when the long-term decline in births to teenagers began (13). The
number of births to teenagers aged 1519 was 249,078 in 2014, down
9% from 2013 (273,105) and 52% from 1991 (519,577).

Figure 3. Birth rates for females aged 1519, by age: United States, 19602014
The birth rates for teenagers aged 1517 and 1819 in 2014 were
10.9 births per 1,000 for the younger teenagers and 43.8 births per
1,000 for the older teenagers, down 11% and 7%, respectively from
2013, and record lows for both groups. Since 1991, the rates for these
two groups have fallen 72% and 53%. The birth rate for teenagers aged
1014 was essentially unchanged in 2014 at 0.3 births per 1,000
females.
Among race and ethnicity groups, rates for teenagers aged 1519
declined for all groups from 2013 to 2014, with rates down 7% for
non-Hispanic white, 9% for Hispanic, 11% for API and non-Hispanic
black, and 12% for AIAN teenagers. Birth rates for teenagers aged
1517 and 1819 also declined for all race and ethnicity groups in 2014.
Women in their 20sThe birth rate for women aged 2024 in
2014 was 79.0 births per 1,000 women, down 2% from 2013 (80.7),
and another record low for this age group (Tables 3, 4, 7, 8, and 12).
The rate for women in this age group has declined steadily since 2006.
The number of births to women in their early 20s declined 2% from 2013
to 2014 (14). The rate for women aged 2529 was 105.8 births per
1,000 women, up slightly from 2013 (105.5). The rate for women in this
age group declined steadily from 2007 through 2013. The number of
births to women in their late 20s increased in 2014, up 2% from 2013
(Tables 2, 4, and 6).
Women in their 30sThe birth rate for women aged 3034 was
100.8 births per 1,000 women in 2014, up 3% from 2013 (98.0). The
number of births to women in this age group increased 4% between
2013 and 2014. The birth rate for women aged 3539 was 51.0
births per 1,000 women in 2014, up 3% from 2013 (49.3). The
number of births to women aged 3539 increased 5% in 2014
(Tables 2, 4, and 6) (14).
Women in their 40sThe birth rate for women aged 4044 was
10.6 births per 1,000 women in 2014, up 2% from 2013 (10.4) (Tables 4
and 8). The rate for women in this age group generally has risen over
the last three decades (Figure 4). The number of births to women in
their early 40s was essentially unchanged from 2013 to 2014. The birth
rate for women aged 4549 (which includes births to women aged 50
and over) was 0.8 births per 1,000 women in 2014, unchanged from
2013. The number of births to women aged 4549 rose 3% from 2013
to 2014.
Women aged 50 and overThere were 743 births to women
aged 50 and over in 2014, up from 677 in 2013 (Tables 2 and 6) (14).
The number of births to women in this age group has generally
increased since 1997 (144), when data for women aged 50 and over
became available again. The birth rate for women aged 5054 was
0.6 births per 10,000 women in 2014, unchanged from 2013 (data not
shown). Because of the small number of births to women in this age
group, the birth rate for women aged 5054 is expressed per 10,000
women. For rates shown elsewhere in this report, births to women aged
50 and over are included with births to women aged 4549 when
computing birth rates by age of mother (the denominator for the rate
is women aged 4549).
Live-birth order
The first-birth rate for the United States was 24.6 births per
1,000 women aged 1544 in 2014, down slightly (less than 1%) from
2013 (24.7) (Tables 3, 7, and 9). First-birth rates declined for women
in their teens and early 20s (down 8% for women aged 1519 and

ranged from less than one in five births in Utah (18.6%) to about
one-half of births in DC, Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Mexico.
Age of father
The fertility rate of men for the United States in 2014 was 46.3
births per 1,000 men aged 1554, up 1% from 2013 (45.8) (Table 17).
Similar to fertility rates among women, rates declined for all men
under age 30 (down 8% for men aged 1519, 3% for men aged
2024, and 1% for men aged 2529) and rose for men aged 30 and
over (up 2%3% for men aged 3034, 3539, and 4044; up 6% for
those aged 4549 and 4% for men aged 5054). Rates for men aged
1519 (11.3), 2024 (53.9), and 2529 (89.7) were at record lows in
2014, whereas the rates for men aged 3539 (68.8), 4044 (27.9),
and 4549 (9.3) were the lowest in more than 40 years (16).
Birth rates rose 1% for white men from 2013 to 2014, to 44.4 births
per 1,000 men aged 1554, and declined less than 1% for black men,
to 57.8. Rates declined for white and black men under 30, rose for white
men aged 3054 and black men aged 3049 and 55 and over, and were
unchanged for the remaining groups. Information on age of father is
often missing on birth certificates of children born to women under age
25 and to unmarried women. In 2014, age of father was not reported
for 12% of all births, 32% of births to all women under age 20, and 29%
of all nonmarital births. The procedures for computing birth rates by age
of father that account for the missing data are described in the User
Guide (11).
The birth rate for unmarried women declined for the sixth
consecutive year in 2014, to 43.9 per 1,000 unmarried women aged
1544 (Tables B, 15, and 16). The 2014 nonmarital birth rate was 1%
lower than in 2013 (44.3) and 15% lower than the peak of 51.8 in
2007 and 2008 (Tables B, 15, and 16).
In contrast to trends among unmarried women, the birth rate for
married women, which had declined 5% for 20072010, increased 2%
for 20132014, and is up 5% since 2010 (from 84.3 per 1,000 married
women aged 1544 to 88.9) (Table B).
The percentage of all births to unmarried women was 40.2% in
2014, down from 40.6% in 2013, the lowest level since 2007 (Table B).
This percentage peaked in 2009 at 41.0%. In 2014, the percentage of
nonmarital births varied widely among population groups, from 16.4%
for API mothers to 70.9% for non-Hispanic black mothers (Table 15).
The number of nonmarital births increased 1% between 2013
(1,595,873) and 2014 (1,604,870). The number had risen steadily every
year from 2000 to 2008 when it peaked at 1,726,566. The number
declined from 2008 to 2011 and has since fluctuated.
The steepest decline in nonmarital birth rates between 2013 and
2014 was for younger teenagers aged 1517, falling 11% from 11.9 per
1,000 to 10.6 (Table 16). Nonmarital birth rates also declined for older
teenagers (aged 1819) and for women aged 2024. Nonmarital birth
rates increased for women in all age groups 25 and over, reaching a
historic peak for women aged 3034 (from 31.8 in 2013 to 33.4 in 2014).
Compositional differences by race and Hispanic origin among states
are a major contributing factor to the geographic variation in the
percentage of births to unmarried mothers (Table I4). The percentages
Method of delivery
The cesarean delivery rate declined for the second year in a row
to 32.2% of U.S. births in 2014, which was 2% lower than the rate in
2013 (32.7%) and the lowest rate since 2007 (Tables 18, 19, and 21).
The rate peaked in 2009 at 32.9% after increasing every year since
1996 (20.7%), followed by slight declines in 2010 and 2013.
In 2014, cesarean delivery rates declined for all maternal age
groups (Table 22). The largest change was among women under 20
(down 4% from 21.8% to 21.0%). Cesarean delivery continues to

from 2013 to 2014. Declines by maternal age, race and Hispanic origin,
and gestational age were more pronounced among low-risk births than
among all births. A recent report examines the changes in low-risk
cesarean delivery from 2009 through 2013 (25).
Information for 2014 on primary cesarean and vaginal birth after
cesarean delivery for the revised reporting area (47 states and DC) is
presented in the User Guide (11). A recent report examined trends in
primary cesarean delivery rates by state and for limited reporting areas
through 2012 (26).
Use of forceps and vacuum extraction continued to decline in 2014
(Table D). Use of either method of instrumental delivery decreased from
3.30% in 2013 to 3.21% in 2014 (down from 9.01% in 1990). Use of
forceps remains the rarer method, declining from 0.59% to 0.57% of
all births for 20132014, compared with vacuum extraction, down from
2.72% to 2.64%. Among vaginal births, use of either method fell by 3%
in 2014 (4.91% to 4.74%).

Birthweight
The percentage of infants born low birthweight (LBW) was
essentially unchanged in 2014 at 8.00%, compared with 8.02% for
2013. Following increases of nearly 20% from 1990 to 2006, the LBW
rate (less than 2,500 grams or 5 pounds, 8 ounces) has trended
slightly downward for a total decline of 3% (Tables 18, 19, and
2325). The 2014 very low birthweight rate (less than 1,500 grams)
was also stable at 1.40%, but is down from the high of 1.49%
reported for 20052007. The percentage of moderately low birthweight infants (1,5002,499 grams) was 6.60% in 2014, unchanged
from 2013, but lower than the 2006 peak of 6.77% (Table 24). Weight
at birth is closely associated with gestational age and can be an
important and independent predictor of short- and long-term out
comes (3234).
As the gestational age distribution has shifted toward longer
pregnancies from the mid-2000s (see Gestational age), the birthweight distribution has also moved toward heavier infants, albeit to a
lesser degree. In addition to the modest reduction in LBW noted earlier,
the percentage of births at 2,5002,999 grams (5 pounds, 9 ounces
to 6 pounds, 9 ounces) has declined from 18.44% to 18.27% from 2006
to 2014, while the percentage of infants weighing 3,000 grams or
greater has increased from 73.30% to 73.73%.
LBW levels were essentially stable among births to each of the
largest race and Hispanic origin groups for 2014: non-Hispanic white
(6.96% in 2014), non-Hispanic black (13.15%), and Hispanic (7.05%)
births (Table 24). From 1990 through 2006, LBW rates rose among
each group; since 2006, however, rates have declined among nonHispanic white (5%) and non-Hispanic black (6%) infants. Among
Hispanics, rates have fluctuated fairly narrowly. See Tables I9 and
I10 for 2014 state-specific very low birthweight and low birthweight
rates by race and Hispanic origin.
Births in singleton deliveries are often examined separately
because multiple births tend to be born smaller than singletons, and

Multiple births
The 2014 twin birth rate was 33.9 twins per 1,000 births,
essentially unchanged from 2013 (33.7), but a new high for the
nation. The twinning rate (births in twin deliveries per 1,000 total
births) rose 76% from 1980 to 2009 (from 18.9 to 33.2 per 1,000),
was generally stable from 2009 through 2012, and rose 2% between
2012 and 2013 (Tables 26 and 27).
The triplet and higher-order multiple birth rate (triplet/+)
declined 5% from 2013 to 2014, from 119.5 to 113.5 per 100,000 births.
The 2014 triplet/+ birth rate is the lowest in 20 years and is down more
than 40% from the 1998 peak (193.5). The triplet/+ birth rate (number
of triplets, quadruplets, and quintuplets and other higher-order multiples
per 100,000 births) rose more than 400% from 1980 to 1998 (Tables 26
and 27), but has trended downward since, with average annual declines
of more than 4% reported since 2004.
There were 135,336 infants born in twin deliveries in 2014, an
increase over 2013, but lower than the number of twins reported during
the peak years of 20062009 (Table 27). The 4,526 births in triplet/+
deliveries in 2014 was the lowest number reported since 1993, and
included 4,233 triplets, 246 quadruplets, and 47 quintuplets and higherorder multiple births (Table F).
The rise in multiple birth rates has been associated with expanded
use of fertility therapies [ovulation-inducing drugs and assisted repro
ductive technologies (ART)] and older maternal age at childbearing
(35,36). An estimated 1.5% of 2012 births were the result of ART
therapies alone (37). Recent declines in triplet/+ birth rates have been
linked to changes in ART procedures (37,38).
Infants born in twin and triplet/+ deliveries are at higher risk of
adverse birth outcomes compared with singletons. In 2014, similar to
earlier years, more than 1 of every 2 twins and more than 9 of every
10 triplets were born preterm or low birthweight (Table F).
Twinning rates were essentially unchanged from 2013 to 2014
among non-Hispanic white (36.7 per 1,000 in 2014) and Hispanic
women (24.1), but rose 4% among non-Hispanic black women (from
38.3 to 40.0). From 1990 to 2009, twin birth rates increased among
each group; 62% for non-Hispanic white, 42% for non-Hispanic black,
and 25% for Hispanic women. Since 2009, however, rates have fluc
tuated modestly among non-Hispanic white women and trended
upward for Hispanic women. Among non-Hispanic black mothers, rates
fluctuated from 2009 through 2012, but have risen 8% for 20122014.

NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-nine states and the District
of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2014 that were bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see Technical Notes. Multiple-race reporting areas vary for 20032014;
see Technical Notes. In this table, all women, including Hispanic women, are classified only according to their race; see Technical Notes.

NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-nine states and the District
of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2014 that were bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see Technical Notes. In this table, all women, including Hispanic
women, are classified only according to their race; see Technical Notes.

* Figure does not meet standards of reliability or precision; based on fewer than 20 births in numerator.
1
Beginning in 1997, birth rates are computed by relating births to women aged 45 and over to women aged 4549; see Technical Notes.
2
For 19701991, includes births to races not shown separately. For 1992 and later years, unknown race of mother is imputed; see Technical Notes.
3
Based on 100% of births in selected states and on a 50% sample of births in all other states; see reference 11.
4
Based on a 50% sample of births.
NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-nine states and the District
of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2014 that were bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see Technical Notes. Multiple-race reporting areas vary for 20032014;
see Technical Notes. In this table, all women, including Hispanic women, are classified only according to their race; see Technical Notes.

NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-nine states and the District
of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2014 that were bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see Technical Notes. Multiple-race reporting areas vary for 20032014;
see Technical Notes. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. In this table, Hispanic women are classified only by place of origin; non-Hispanic women are classified by race; see Technical
Notes. This table will be updated to include rates for specified Hispanic origin groups when 2014 population data for these groups are available.

NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-nine states and the District
of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2014 that were bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see Technical Notes. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. In
this table, Hispanic women are classified only by place of origin; non-Hispanic women are classified by race; see Technical Notes.

American Community Survey-based rates of 20102014 or fewer than 50 women for census years and 75,000 women for noncensus years in the denominator for the Current Population Survey-based
1
Fertility rates computed by relating total births, regardless of age of mother, to women aged 1544.
2
Beginning in 1997, birth rates computed by relating births to women aged 45 and over to women aged 4549; see Technical Notes.
3
Excludes data for New Hampshire, which did not report Hispanic origin.
4
Excludes data for New Hampshire and Oklahoma, which did not report Hispanic origin.
5
Excludes data for Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Oklahoma, which did not report Hispanic origin.
6
Includes Central and South American and other and unknown Hispanic.
7
Includes origin not stated.
8
Includes races other than white and black.
NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-nine states and the District
of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2014 that were bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see Technical Notes. Multiple-race reporting areas vary for 20032014;
see Technical Notes. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. In this table, Hispanic women are classified only by place of origin; non-Hispanic women are classified by race; see Technical
Notes. This table will be updated to include rates for specified Hispanic origin groups when 2014 population data for these groups are available.

Excludes data for the territories.
NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-nine states and the District
of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2014 that were bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see Technical Notes. In this table, all women, including Hispanic
women, are classified only according to their race; see Technical Notes.

Excludes data for the territories.
NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-nine states and the District
of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2014 that were bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see Technical Notes. In this table, Hispanic women are classified only
by place of origin; non-Hispanic women are classified by race; see Technical Notes.

[Birth rates are births per 1,000 population. Fertility rates are computed by relating total births, regardless of age of mother, to women aged 1544. Total fertility rates are
sums of birth rates for 5-year age groups multiplied by 5. Populations estimated as of July 1. Mean age at first birth is the arithmetic average of the age of mothers at the
time of birth, computed directly from the frequency of first births by age of mother]

Includes origin not stated.

Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Data for persons of Hispanic origin are
included in the data for each race group according to the mothers reported race; see Technical Notes. Forty-nine states and the District of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2014 that were
bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see Technical Notes.
3
Includes all persons of Hispanic origin of any race.
4
Birth rates computed by relating total births to unmarried mothers, regardless of age of mother, to unmarried women aged 1544; see Technical Notes.
5
Birth rates computed by relating births to unmarried women aged 40 and over to unmarried women aged 4044.
NOTES: For 49 states, the District of Columbia, and New York City marital status is reported in the birth registration process; for New York, mothers marital status is inferred; see reference 11. Rates
cannot be computed for unmarried non-Hispanic black women or for American Indian or Alaska Native women because the necessary populations are not available.

Rates computed by relating total births, regardless of age of father, to men aged 1554.
3
Includes races other than white and black.

Based on 100% of births in selected states and on a 50% sample of births in all other states; see reference 11.
NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-nine states and the District
of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2014 that were bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see Technical Notes. Multiple-race reporting areas vary for 20032014;
see Technical Notes. In this table, all men, including Hispanic men, are classified only according to their race; see Technical Notes. Age of father was not stated for 12% of births in 2014. See

Technical Notes
Data source
Data shown in this report for 2014 are based on 100% of the
birth certificates filed in all states and the District of Columbia (DC).
The data are provided to the Centers for Disease Control and
Preventions National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) through the
Vital Statistics Cooperative Program (VSCP). Information on the
percentage of records with missing information for maternal and
infant characteristics included in this report shown by state is
available in the 2014 User Guide for the Natality Public Use
File (11). Methodological and measurement information for these
characteristics is available in the 2014 User Guide (11).
1989 and 2003 revisions of the U.S. Standard Certificate of
Live Birth
This report includes 2014 data on items that are collected on
both the 1989 revision of the U.S. Standard Certificate of Live
Birth (unrevised) and the 2003 revision (revised). The 2003
revision is described in the Introduction to this report and in detail
elsewhere (5,6).
Age of mother
Age of mother is computed in most cases from the mothers and
infants dates of birth as reported on the birth certificate. The mothers
age is directly reported by one territory (American Samoa). From
1964 through 1996, mothers age was edited for a range of 1049.
Births reported as occurring to mothers under age 10 or over age 49
are assigned the average age of mothers based on a previous year
with the same race, Hispanic origin, and total birth order (total of live
births and fetal deaths). Beginning in 1997, age of mother was
imputed for ages 9 and under and 55 and over. This procedure was
used through 2006 for births in states using the 1989 certificate.
Beginning in 2003, for births occurring in revised states, a wider age
range has been usedage of mother is imputed for ages 8 and
under and 65 and over (mothers aged 9 are recoded as aged 10).
Starting in 2007, the same procedures have been used for states
using the 1989 certificate. A review and verification of unedited data
for several years including 2007 showed that the vast majority of
births reported as occurring to women aged 50 and over were to
women aged 5054. In this report, the final age group shown in the
tables (4549, 4554, or 5054) includes births to mothers up to
age 64.
The numbers of births to women aged 50 and over have been too
small historically to compute age-specific birth rates. These births have
been included with births to women aged 4549 for computing birth
rates. In 2014, age of mother was not reported on 0.01% of the records
(by occurrence); for these records, age of mother was imputed
according to the last record with the same race and total birth order.

National Vital Statistics Reports, Vol. 64, No. 12, December 23, 2015
Gestational age
Beginning with the 2014 data year, NCHS is transitioning to a
new standard for estimating the gestational age of the newborn. The
new measurethe obstetric estimate of gestation at delivery (OE)
replaces the measure based on the date of the last normal menses
(LMP) (27). Accordingly, gestational age data in this report are based
on the OE. However, LMP-based data are also available for all
relevant report tables (Tables I13I16). National data based on the
OE are available only from data year 2007 forward. Gestational age
estimates differ somewhat between the OE- and LMP-based mea
sures. For example, the 2014 OE-based preterm birth rate is 9.57%
compared with the LMP-based rate of 11.32%.
Of note, both measures show declines in the rate of preterm birth
from 2007 to 2014. Information and discussion of the reasons for the
change, and a detailed comparison of the two measures, are presented
elsewhere (27).
For information and discussion on data quality of attendant and
place of birth, pregnancy risk factors, method of delivery, see the User
Guide (11).
Birthweight
Birthweight is reported in some areas in pounds and ounces
rather than in grams; however, the metric system has been used in
tabulating and presenting the statistics to facilitate comparison with
data published by other groups. Equivalents of the gram weights in
terms of pounds and ounces are presented below:
Less than 500 grams = 1 lb. 1 oz. or less
500999 grams = 1 lb. 2 oz.2 lb. 3 oz.
1,0001,499 grams = 2 lb. 4 oz.3 lb. 4 oz.
1,5001,999 grams = 3 lb. 5 oz.4 lb. 6 oz.
2,0002,499 grams = 4 lb. 7 oz.-5 lb. 8 oz.
2,5002,999 grams = 5 lb. 9 oz.6 lb. 9 oz.
3,0003,499 grams = 6 lb. 10 oz.7 lb. 11 oz.
3,5003,999 grams = 7 lb. 12 oz.8 lb. 13 oz.
4,0004,499 grams = 8 lb. 14 oz.9 lb. 14 oz.
4,5004,999 grams = 9 lb. 15 oz.11 lb. 0 oz.
5,000 grams or more = 11 lb. 1 oz. or more

Population denominators
2013 population estimates
The birth and fertility rates for 2014 shown in Tables A, 1, 35,
79, 1214, and 17 are based on populations estimated from the
2010 census as of July 1, 2014. These populations are shown in the
User Guide (11). The population estimates have been provided by the
U.S. Census Bureau (45), and they are based on the 2010 census
counts by age, sex, and race, which have been modified for
consistency with 1977 OMB race categories and historical categories
for birth data. The modification procedures are described in detail
elsewhere (42).
The birth and fertility rates by state shown in Table 12 are based
on state-level population counts, which are based on the 2010 census
provided by the U.S. Census Bureau (42). Birth and fertility rates for
the territories except Puerto Rico shown in Table 12 are based on
population estimates provided by the U.S. Census Bureaus Interna
tional Data Base (46). Rates for Puerto Rico are based on population
estimates from the 2010 census as of July 1, 2014, and are provided
by the U.S. Census Bureau (47).
Rates by state and territory shown in this report may differ from
rates computed on the basis of other population estimates; rates for
smaller population subgroups, such as those for teen mothers, may be
particularly affected by differences in population estimates. Birth and
fertility rates by month shown in Table I2 are based on monthly
population estimates for 2014, which are also based on 2010 census
estimates. For 2014, rates for unmarried women shown in Tables 15
and 16 are based on distributions of the population by marital status
averaged over a 2-year period for 20132014. These distributions were
reported by the U.S. Census Bureau in the March CPS for each
year (48,49), and have been adjusted to July 1, 2014 (2010 census)
population levels (45) by NCHS Division of Vital Statistics (50). As of
the preparation of this report, data from the March CPS for 2015 were
not available. Accordingly, the distributions of the population by marital
status were based on a 2-year average of 2013 and 2014 (48,49). For
earlier years, rates for unmarried women are based on distributions of
the population by marital status averaged over a 3-year period (50).
Population estimates for the specific Hispanic groups
The 2014 population estimates for the specific Hispanic popu
lation groups were not available as of the preparation of this
report (51). Accordingly, birth and fertility rates for these groups are
not shown in this report. Once available, birth and fertility rates for the
specific Hispanic population groups will be added to report Tables 5,
7, 8, and 14 of this report. The 2014 special population estimates for
Hispanic groups will be shown in the User Guide once available (11).
For more information about the populations for Hispanic groups, see
references (11,52,53).
