Teen Birth Rate Declining

The number of teen births has declined across the US.  According to a survey by http://BadCredit.org, every state has seen a drop in the teenage birth rate from 2020 to 2024—a drop of six births per one thousand people over that five year period.  In Minnesota, Cass and Mahnomen Counties have both seen a 14 percent drop in teen births over that period–the biggest decrease for any Minnesota county.  Statewide, in Minnesota, there are ten teenage births per one thousand people, down from 14 in 2020.  And in North Dakota, there are 15 teenage births per one thousand people, down from 21 in 2020.
