NCHS - Natality Measures for Females by Race and Hispanic Origin: United States

This dataset includes live births, birth rates, and fertility rates by race of mother in the United States since 1960.

Data availability varies by race and ethnicity groups. All birth data by race before 1980 are based on race of the child. Since 1980, birth data by race are based on race of the mother. For race, data are available for Black and White births since 1960, and for American Indians/Alaska Native and Asian/Pacific Islander births since 1980. Data on Hispanic origin are available since 1989. Teen birth rates for specific racial and ethnic categories are also available since 1989. From 2003 through 2015, the birth data by race were based on the “bridged” race categories (5). Starting in 2016, the race categories for reporting birth data changed; the new race and Hispanic origin categories are: Non-Hispanic, Single Race White; Non-Hispanic, Single Race Black; Non-Hispanic, Single Race American Indian/Alaska Native; Non-Hispanic, Single Race Asian; and, Non-Hispanic, Single Race Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (5,6). Birth data by the prior, “bridged” race (and Hispanic origin) categories are included through 2018 for comparison.

本数据集收录了自1960年以来美国各民族母亲的出生数据、出生率和生育率。数据可获得性因种族和民族群体而异。在1980年之前，所有种族的出生数据均基于儿童的种族。自1980年起，种族出生数据基于母亲的种族。就种族而言，自1960年起即可获得黑人和白人出生数据，自1980年起可获取美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民和亚洲/太平洋岛民出生数据。自1989年起，即可获得西班牙语起源的数据。自1989年起，还提供了特定种族和民族群体的青少年出生率。从2003年到2015年，种族出生数据基于‘桥梁’种族类别（5）。自2016年起，报告出生数据的种族类别发生了变化；新的种族和西班牙语起源类别包括：非西班牙语，单一种族白人；非西班牙语，单一种族黑人；非西班牙语，单一种族美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民；非西班牙语，单一种族亚洲人；以及，非西班牙语，单一种族夏威夷原住民/太平洋岛民（5,6）。为了便于比较，包含之前‘桥梁’种族（及西班牙语起源）类别的出生数据一直延续至2018年。
