Data Source

Notes

LNE (Low Number Event) - numbers are not reported when there were more than zero and fewer than five events during the reporting period.

The total number of births may be higher than the sum of each group reported here, as data are not reported at the parish level for all race and ethnic categories. Additionally, there are a small number of births to Louisiana women for whom their parish of residence was unknown, so the sum of all parish data may be slightly smaller than the statewide total in some years.
