US fertility rates continued to fall overall in 2025 (down 1.3% for the second year in a row, for a total decline of 23.4% since 2007), to 53.1 births / 1,000 women between 15-44, from 53.8 in 2024.

That includes continued declines among women 15 through 29: rates for teens 15-19 were down 7.1% between 2024 and 2025, to 11.7 births per thousand women in that age group (down 72% since 2007); rates were down 6.5% among women 20-24 to 52.2 births (down 50.5% since 2007); and down 4.4% among those 25-29 to 85.6 births (down 27.5% since 2007).

Rates for women 30 through 44 rose, though less markedly than the younger group’s decline, while those for women 45-54 remained static. Rates for women 30-34 rose 2.6% in 2025 over 2024 (the first rise since 2021 in this age group, which has seen an overall fall of 4.4% since 2007); for those 35-39 rates rose 1.5% (up 15.7% since 2007, though up and down recently); while for those 40-44 rates rose 0.2% in 2025 over the year prior (up 33.3% since 2007, rising annually fairly consistently). Rates for women 45-54 held steady at 1.1 births per thousand women.
