This National Center for Health Statistics report presents final U.S. birth statistics for 2023, using the birth certificates registered in every state and the District of Columbia. It examines fertility patterns and selected maternal and infant characteristics, with comparisons over time.
The analysis and detailed tables cover maternal age, prenatal care, delivery method, gestational age, birthweight, multiple births and other recorded characteristics. State comparisons and technical notes explain how the measures are defined, how incomplete information is handled and how population estimates affect the rates.
The complete March 2025 report preserves all original tables and methodological material. Its subject is national birth statistics and their interpretation.
