Number is too small to calculate a reliable rate. |
| The
Total column includes other non-Hispanic races and race not stated. |
| Rates
are computed per 1,000 age-, race-, ethnicity-specific female
population. |
| Rates
for all ages are computed by relating total births, regardless
of age of mother, to women aged 15-44 years. |
| First
Birth is determined from the sum of number of live births now
living + number of live births now dead on the birth certificate.
If either of these is not stated, the sum is considered not stated. |
