U.S. Birthrate Trends<\/p>\n

The announcement comes as U.S. births continued their downward trend. <\/p>\n

Provisional data<\/a> show 3,606,400 births in 2025, a 1% decline from the previous year, according to a CDC\/National Center for Health Statistics document released in April 2026. The general fertility rate reached a record low of 53.1 births per 1,000 women ages 15\u201344 in 2025.<\/p>\n

Total births have fallen approximately 23% since the 2007 peak. The teen birthrate<\/a> dropped by another 7% in 2025 to 11.7 births per 1,000 females ages 15\u201319, according to the same report.<\/p>\n

Slightly more boys than girls continue<\/a> to be born in the United States. The sex ratio<\/a> at birth has remained stable at about 105 boys per 100 girls in recent years. This natural ratio has been consistent in U.S. vital statistics for decades.<\/p>\n
