    1. So conservatives/red states have more children than liberals/blue states.

    2. Birth rate in red states remains steady, but has dropped more than expected in blue states. The fertility partisan gap is widening.

      WSJ posted “MAGA Women Defy the Birth Dearth”. We have more empirical data relating cultural and urban factor to the birth rate.

    3. And people wonder why kids are more conservative than in the past. Conservatives are much more likely to have kids. Liberals step up – have a large family.

      It’s very weird how wanting to have a large family became some republican associated value.

    4. It almost looks correlated to a COL map. Higher COL means less kids and Lower COL means more kids. The only exception to my theory is the mountain west states

      This happens when family values become a conservation thing !!!!. Having a family is a good things and we needs to tell more progressive about this

      Now do children born into in poverty and I bet the image is nearly indistinguishable.

    7. Less educated women have less upward mobility and fewer options in life outside of having children; it’s not about politics, it’s about economics

      I don’t think anyone is surprised by this.

      Marriage and pairing up is a critical factor to this.

      Liberal women are far more likely to be unmarried rather than conservative women.

      Married women are much more likely to have families.

      For comparison, conservatives fertility has decreased from 1970-74 from being approx 2.34 to approx 1.89 in 2015-2019. Liberals went from approx 2.23 to approx 1.35.

      The gap actually appears to be widening over time mainly because liberal women do not want kids any more.

      An effect of that is that so long as migration only happens in a small to reasonable amount, you will get an increasing conservative society.

      This is probably actually why liberal leaders want sanctuary cities and why Trump wants ICE

      Notice how cost of living seems to correlate directly with people’s lack of desire to procreate?

    10. This will be helpful during the next reapportionment of US house seats, especially with Trump cutting off immigration until 2029.

    11. More religious people with less education typically have more kids, regardless of their level of income. Having access to comprehensive sex ed, birth control, and abortions will reduce teen pregnancy, and fewer teen-pregnancies have the biggest impact on the birth rate.

      Also, prioritizing longer-term careers that require a college education or advanced degrees will also influence when people choose to have children.

      Families who start having kids at 35 after they are established and well into their careers are less likely to have as many kids as families who started at 18.

    12. Birth rate has almost always through history been most closely tied with education. The more education a woman gets the fewer children she will have. Obviously due to biology in waiting till after school limits the child bearing years, educated women also tend to have better careers and are less likely to be a “homemaker”. Theres plenty more but those are commonly stated and known

      This is WILD. Utah used to lead these charts by an insanely wide margin. I don’t know if this has more to do with Mormons having significantly fewer kids or people moving from other states. Either way, the church must be shitting bricks lol

      I’m in Florida. With our senior population I’m sure our fertility rates are not as high as other states.
