I can attest. I run a ministry for infants in California. I couldn’t keep supplies on hand years ago. Now I have bins of stuff that no one is taking.
Must be bad if even majority Mormon Utah is below replacement.
Should have been two still images.
Interesting that even Utah has fallen into the “insufficient” category.
2008 borns were conceived before the recession in 2007
Housing affordability went down, people can’t buy family houses anymore, so they don’t have kids.
STOP MAKING THESE IN GIF FORM ITS AWFUL
So on this gif you can actually click on and use the scroller, so i guess thats an improvement
Given a choice, I choose no. It isn’t just affordability – the Epstein Class is in charge and the place is a mess. My kids wouldn’t stand a chance… at anything. I’m doing “them” a favor by remaining childless.
Recession. Covid. Inflation made it so people can’t afford kids. Trump and climate change make it so people don’t want kids.

This is birth rate, not fertility rate
One factor I read about a while ago is that America effectively got rid of teenage pregnancy. In the 1990’s birth from people under 20 accounted for something like 15-20% of all births in the USA and now they account for something like 3-5%, Combined that with every demo having less kids on average and you get a pretty drastic reduction.
Jeez, there really is nothing to do in South Dakota.
My youngest daughter is one of 2 kids in her kindergarten that has 2 or more siblings. Everyone else is an only child or has 1 sibling.
Sad. I love seeing children around.
I wonder why
Oh well. I still ain’t doing it
In crisis fertility rates go up, 2008 was one of the worst crisis in the US
Where is Elon based?
Now let’s see a comparison of cost of living vs. income with these same maps.
I’M DOING MY PART
Its wild how much lower the rates are in the northeast areas compared to some of the western states even back in 2008
2008 destroyed a generation of wealth.
2019 did the same thing.
People born in the 80s and 90’s are going to have a lot harder time trying to help their children
turns out when you make the country a playground for billionaires and a jail cell for middle class and poor people, there arent enough people wanting to have kids.
Fertility implies the ability to have children, not the choice not to have them
