Notes

Total births to mothers 15-19, and birth rate per 1,000, were obtained from State Department of Public Health Vital Statistics tables. Totals include births to Connecticut residents that occurred out-of-state. Population values used for rate denominators were taken from the 2010 Decennial U.S. Census. Counts of births of five or fewer—excluding zero—were suppressed, as were rates derived from suppressed totals.
