About this ranking

Estimated live births to resident mothers from July 1 of the previous year through June 30 of the reported year.

Census population estimates component. The year identifies the end of the July-to-June period. These estimates can be revised and differ from calendar-year birth totals.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the states are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
