What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the number of live births per 1,000 females aged 15-44 years. |
| Why this is important: The birth rate is an important measure of population health. The birth rate is usually the dominant factor in determining the rate of population growth; however, it depends on both the level of fertility and the age structure of the population. |
| Technical Note: The regional value is compared to the Maryland state value. |
