This reflects the trend of more Americans either opting not to have kids or postponing them until later.
The total number of US births declined by 14% between 1990 and 2023, according to the March 2025 report.
During this time, birth rates among females younger than 20 decreased by 73%, marking the steepest percentage drop of all age groups.
This resulted in a decline from one in eight teen births in 1990 to one in 25 in 2023.
