Data Source
Birth data is collected from the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH). Population data is collected from the U.S. Census Bureau's Population Estimates, updated to estimate the population of young female teens for each year in each age group.
Notes
The state total may vary from the total of all counties since the state total may include births for which the county of residence was unknown or may vary due to rounding. Numbers and rates may differ from an earlier Oklahoma KIDS COUNT Factbook due to the availability of updated or corrected data. If the total number of teen births is less than five, the data are suppressed for confidentiality purposes. County Numbers/Rates that are listed as "S" have been suppressed.
