Births to unmarried women and births by mother's age, by state

Women aged 15 to 50 who had a birth in the past 12 months: the share who were unmarried (widowed, divorced or never married), and births per 1,000 unmarried women, women 15–19, 20–34 and 35–50. Survey-based (ACS), so it differs from registered birth statistics. Percentages are as published in the ACS data profile.
