According to CDC, since the 4th quarter of 2024, fertility rate among Black women has dropped below that of White women ( excluding Hispanics for both). This is likely the first time in US history that this has happened

note that data for the first quarter of 2025 is provisional, but revisions are usually small
this is general fertility rate( GFR) ,meaning number of births in a year for all women age 15-44
Total fertility rate(TFR) is calculated from GFR, but the proportions stay the same( ex: if white GFR is 10% higher than black GFR, then white TFR is also 10% higher than black GFR)
I wonder how this stuff even works…
If an Hispanic has kid with a white woman, the kid is hispanic or white?
If an Hispanic has a kid with a black woman, the kid is hispanic or black?
I can see european and africans are easy to define. But Hispanic is a culture, not a race
Not surprising as education levels for black women continue to gain against their peers.
