| Note: The universe for the CPS is Women 15 to 44 years old at the time of interview between July 2009 to June 2010. The universe for vital statistics is for all women with births in 2009. The universe for ACS is women 15 to 50 in 2009 who had a birth in the past year, although only women aged 15-44 are used in this table to ensure proper comparisons. |
