About this ranking
Estimated live births from July 1 of the previous year through June 30 of the reported year per 1,000 residents, using the average of the population estimates at the two July 1 endpoints.
Published Census population estimates rate. The year identifies the end of the July-to-June period. These estimates can be revised and differ from calendar-year birth rates.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the counties are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
