Most of the data on this page comes from the [[Human Fertility Database]] (website [http://www.humanfertility.org www.humanfertility.org]) (data downloaded December 2013, last updated January 2013). The data collected by the Human Fertility Database is based on government data collection by the United States government. Details about the modalities of data collection are available [http://www.humanfertility.org/Docs/USA/USAcom.pdf here].

===Completed fertility distribution===
Below is the distribution by proportion of women based on their completed fertilities. The information here is deducible from the [[birth order distribution]] of completed fertilities given above. Explicitly, the proportion of women with completed fertility <math>i</math> is the value <math>CCF_i - CCF_{i+1}</math> (for the case <math>i = 0</math>, the proportion is <math>1 - CCF_1</math>). Since we do not breakdown of birth orders 5 or higher, we can calculate the proportions only for up to 3 children, and we need to bin together 4 or more children.

This page gives information of type fertility about the country USA.
See all pages giving information on fertility for particular countries|See all pages giving information about USA

Data sources

Some data on this page comes from the Human Fertility Database (website www.humanfertility.org) (data downloaded December 2013, last updated by HFD January 2013). The data collected by the Human Fertility Database is based on government data collection by the government of USA. You can download the data yourself here. Details about the modalities of data collection are available here. Where available, we use HFD data because of its higher reliability.

Qualitative history of fertility-relevant events

Year Event Postulated effect seen in fertility statistics
1973 Roe v Wade led to nationwide legalization of abortion (specifically, first trimester abortion) No immediate effects or changes to trends. Possible reasons: (a) abortion availability isn't a major determinant of fertility, (b) many states had already legalized abortion, (c) illegal abortions were already widely available, (d) the effect of the law on the availability of legal abortions took some time to materialize.

Key quantitative metrics

Unless otherwise specified, data is from the Human Fertility Database, last updated January 2013.

Metric Direct fertility measure, comparable with replacement fertility value of 2.1? Period measure or cohort measure? Most recent measurement Year Extreme values, along with year and source
crude birth rate (CBR) No Period 12.94 2010 Data available 1933-2010; maximum value 25.82 in 1947, minimum value 12.94 in 2010
total fertility rate (TFR) Yes Period 1.928 2010 Data available 1933-2010; maximum value 3.738 in 1957, minimum value 1.739 in 1976
TFR40 Yes(ish) Period 1.874 2010 Data available 1933-2010; maximum value 3.654 in 1957, minimum value 1.716 in 1976
TFR birth order distribution No Period birth orders 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (and more) (respectively): 0.400, 0.316, 0.167, 0.081, 0.103 2010 Data available 1933-2010
Completed cohort fertility Yes Cohort 2.018 1960 Data available for birth cohorts 1918-1960; maximum value 3.256 for 1933 birth cohort, minimum value 1.972 for 1953 birth cohort
CCF40 Yes(ish) Cohort 2.068 1970 Data available for birth cohorts 1918-1970; maximum value 3.231 for 1933 birth cohort, minimum value 1.937 for 1953 birth cohort
Mean age at birth No Period
Mean age of childbearing for birth cohorts No Cohort
Mean age of childbearing for birth cohorts till the age of 40 (CMAC40) No Cohort
Tempo-adjusted total fertility rate (period measure) Yes Period 2.349 2009 data available 1934-2009; maximum value 3.644 in 1963, minimum value 1.93 in 1978

Data on period fertility

Data on total indicators only without breakdown by birth order

Year crude birth rate (CBR) (births per 1000 people per year) CBR minus previous year's CBR total fertility rate (TFR) (sum of all age-specific fertility rates), ballpark for replacement fertility is 2.1 TFR minus previous year's TFR TFR40 (sum of age-specific fertility rates up to the age of 40), almost equal to TFR because births above the age of 40 are rare TFR40 minus previous year's TFR40

Completed fertility distribution

Below is the distribution by proportion of women based on their completed fertilities. The information here is deducible from the birth order distribution of completed fertilities given above. Explicitly, the proportion of women with completed fertility is the value (for the case , the proportion is ). Since we do not breakdown of birth orders 5 or higher, we can calculate the proportions only for up to 3 children, and we need to bin together 4 or more children.
