There are fewer new mothers in Alabama than in most other states, according to recent census data:
May. 14, 2023, 3:56 p.m.A woman’s first Mother’s Day as a parent is a special day, but in Alabama, there are fewer new mothers celebrating than in most other states.
Alabama had a notably lower percentage of new mothers than many of its closest neighbors. Each of Mississippi, Tennessee and Georgia saw more than 5% of women between 15 and 50 give birth within the timeframe. Meanwhile, only three states - Texas , Nebraska and North Dakota saw 6% or more of women 15-50 give birth in that time.
County data was calculated using annual averages based on a five-year sample size, rather than the 1-year number state level data uses. So over the five years from 2017 to 2021, in an average year, 12.9% of women between 15 and 50 in Bibb County reported giving birth in the previous 12 months.
