US Births fall 4% in 2020 Down 142,00
Fell across every state, demo and age group. Really can't blame it on the pandemic as only some December births could have been impacted. When combined with a 530,000 increase in deaths, natural growth fell to 220,000 from 890,000 in 2019 and 1.5 million in 2010
In 2018, four states had more deaths than births WV, VT, NH and ME. The map for 2020 looks like this
