Definition
This data shows the number of births to females aged 15 to 19 years old, expressed per 1,000 individuals in that age group. The data is based on the mother's place of residence rather than her place of birth.
Data Source
Data petition to the Puerto Rico Department of Health, Auxiliary Secretariat for Planning and Development, Division of Statistical Analysis.
Notes
It is possible for the total number of births to differ from the overall reported frequency. This discrepancy may occur when the municipality of residence is not specified or when the birth takes place outside Puerto Rico, even if the mother is a resident of a Puerto Rico municipality.
