The U.S. teen birth rate (births per 1,000 females ages 15-19) has been on a steep decline since the early 1990s. It peaked at 61.8 in 1991, fell to 15.4 by 2020, and hit a record low of 13.2 in 2023—a 79% drop from that peak. That’s a huge shift: in 1991, there were over 500,000 births to teens annually; by 2023, it was down to about 130,000.
