Birth data by maternal age and race (white and non-white) were digitized from the “Vital Statistics of the United States.” TFR calculations use interpolated census data on women aged 14–49. The dataset highlights regional shifts in fertility during the Baby Boom, later declines, and recent fluctuations, influenced by socio-economic and cultural factors. It provides a valuable tool for researchers and policymakers analyzing fertility determinants and their broader implications.
