Written by The U.S. birthrate declined to a record low in 2025, according to new federal data, continuing a decades-long trend since the nation’s last major pre-recession high in 2007. The provisional number of births in the U.S. was 3,606,400 in 2025, down 1% from 3,628,934 in 2024, while the general fertility rate, which measures births per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44, slipped to 53.1 from 53.8 a year earlier, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
The new figures underscore how far the country has moved from 2007, when the general fertility rate stood at 69.5, before the financial crisis helped trigger a broad decline in births that has never fully reversed. Teen birth rates continued to drive much of the drop. The birth rate for teenagers ages 15 to 19 fell 7% in 2025 to 11.7 births per 1,000 females, another record low, and the number of births to teens dropped to 125,933. Federal researchers said the teen birth rate is now down 72% from 2007 and 81% from its 1991 peak, extending one of the steepest and longest-running demographic shifts in modern U.S. data. Meanwhile, births continued to shift toward older mothers. The birth rate for women ages 30 to 34 rose to 96.2 births per 1,000 in 2025 from 93.7 in 2024, while the rate for women ages 35 to 39 also edged higher to 55.1 from 54.3. The rate for women ages 20 to 24 fell to 52.2 from 55.8, and the rate for women ages 25 to 29 declined to 85.6 from 89.5.
