Does the U.S. Census Bureau produce fertility data?


Several of the main demographic surveys at the Census Bureau include fertility data:

  • See the main Fertility webpage.
  • The Survey of Income and Program Participation includes full fertility histories for both men and women, while the American Community Survey has estimates of women who had a birth in the 12 months prior to the survey. Tables based on the Fertility Supplement to the Current Population Survey are also available.
