The other aberration from this otherwise steady decline in teen birth rates is the 6% decrease in birth rates for 15- to 19-year-olds between 2008 and 2009. [78] Despite these years of decrease, U.S. teen birth rates are still higher than in other developed nations. [78] Racial differences prevail with teen birth and pregnancy rates as well.
If this trend continues the White birth rate will surpass the Black birth rate in a few years. A total of 1,887,656 babies were born in 2021, a 2.39% increase from 2020. Additionally, researchers found that the White fertility rate increased from 1.551 in 2020 to 1.598 in 2021, the first substantial rise since 2014. [56]
The United States has a racially and ethnically diverse population. [1] At the federal level, race and ethnicity have been categorized separately.

While non-Hispanic White Americans under 18 in the U.S. are already a minority as of 2020, it is projected that non-Hispanic Whites overall will become a minority within the US by 2045. [38]
At that time I wasn’t aware of the statistics — that Black women are nearly three times more likely to die during childbirth than white women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and ...
Racial and ethnic demographics of the United States in percentage of the population. The United States census enumerated Whites and Blacks since 1790, Asians and Native Americans since 1860 (though all Native Americans in the U.S. were not enumerated until 1890), "some other race" since 1950, and "two or more races" since 2000.
