CHILDREN BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK 30 Percent White 50 Percent Hispanic 70 Percent Black
moms and dads are far more common
41% of the babies born in the US in 2009 were born out of wedlock. That’s 1.7 million children – more than the population of our fifth largest city, Philadelphia. 30 percent of white children were born to unmarried parents, 50 percent of Hispanic children, and 70 percent of African-American children.
The marriage-optional trend didn’t arrive out of the blue.
Out-of-wedlock births have been rising steadily in the US since 1980, when the figure was 18.4 percent.
In today’s infographic we provide a 50-state map showing the out-of-wedlock birth rate for each state. Click to see it full-size and compare your state with others.
