The replacement fertility rate is 2.1 births per female for most developed countries (in the United Kingdom, for example), but can be as high as 3.5 in undeveloped countries because of higher mortality rates, especially child mortality. [11]
White Americans of one race (or alone) from 1960 to 2020. Some changes may be due to changing self-identification patterns rather than demographic changes.

The preterm birth rate among Black individuals increased annually from 11.12% in 2014 to 12.51% in 2021, followed by a decline to 12.34% in 2022. ... the preterm birth rate for White people ...
The U.S. birth rate has been steadily declining for years, but fairly recently it has tipped over into an alarming category. The estimated “replacement fertility rate,” or the number of births ...
This is likely due to the birth rate declining among people of color. For example, between 1990 and 2010, the birth rate declined 29% among Blacks, 25 percent among Asians, 21% among Hispanics, but only 5% among White people. [55] If this trend continues the White birth rate will surpass the Black birth rate in a few years.
