That’s true even in Texas, where second-generation immigrants and women under 30 in general are increasingly postponing parenthood.
In Texas, births increased by almost 16,000, compared with an increase of 5,400 between 2020 and 2021. In Florida the increase was about 8,200 compared with 6,600 the previous year. Other states with increases between 2021 and 2022 were Georgia , North Carolina , New Jersey , Arizona , Virginia , Tennessee , Delaware , South Carolina , Maryland and Kentucky . Kansas, Idaho and Alaska had increases of fewer than 100 each.
Arizona’s increase of about 500 births, about half the number of the previous year’s increase, may already be turning into a small decrease in early 2023, State Demographer Jim Chang said.
