Not actually an HVAC professional. Heritage American with a touch of Campania. Longing for Constantinople since age 8.

@charliesmirkley There was a surge in births to NH white women in April, so we may see NH white % decline a bit in May. April is not typically a popular birth month, so I doubt it just reflects seasonal trends.

All groups had an increase in births/day during May except for "other," which includes Native American and mixed-race mothers.

May update for the United States from CDC Wonder. A slight rebound in Hispanic births leads to a percentage increase, though still below March's numbers.

The report, which despite the delay was released as a transcript rather than a formal document, is available here:

Inexplicable delays in releasing birth data have been observed in several countries and territories recently, with the common denominator appearing to be plummeting birth numbers that officials are reluctant to publicize.

The 2023 data was required by law to have been issued by the end of March 2024, and so is more than a year overdue. The report vaguely attributes the delay to "Human Resources and the need to clarify data." The 2024 data is already overdue as well.

Bermuda has finally updated its birth data with the release of The Annual Report of the Registry General 2023 last month. Births/deaths for 2022 were 479/585, and for 2023 were 436/622, a decrease the report optimistically calls "slight." The TFR is likely around 1.20.

Bermuda births in 2021 total 491, the lowest in at least 90 years and possibly since the 19th century. Deaths have exceeded births on the island since 2018. Crude birth rates for black Bermudians = 7.5/1,000, for white Bermudians = 9.2/1,000 and for others = 5.7/1,000.

Someone has also updated Suriname's Wikipedia page with 2023 birth data, showing a total of 8,926 for that year. I do not know the provenance of that data, but if accurate, it would put Suriname below 2.0 TFR for the first time in its history.

The same yearbook shows births (apparently final) for 2022 as 9,254, which by almost any measure would put Suriname below replacement -- probably right around 2.0.

Suriname had been one of the last remaining countries in the Western Hemisphere to maintain above-replacement fertility, but this seems to have come to an end. The nation's 2023 statistical yearbook shows TFR estimated as 2.18 for 2021:

Again, not the sign of a country that's cruising along with resiliently high and stable fertility.

@Aaronal16 Vietnam's TFR is overstated IMO. It should be 1.40-1.50, not as reported around 1.90.

(Puerto Rican mothers in the USA seem to identify as approximately 75% white, 20% black and 5% "more than one race", very similar to Dominican mothers at 70/30).

Note: the US-born category includes 914 births to Black women in US territorial possessions. Additionally, there were 4,075 stateside births to mothers of Puerto Rican origin who identified as Black.

Hispanic births by Hispanic origin of mother in the USA (50 states plus CD) for Jan.-Apr. 2025. In four months, mothers of Puerto Rican origin living stateside had more births than occurred in Puerto Rico in all of 2024 (18,046).

(FWIW, Hawaii shows a decline of 30.4%, but that appears to be in large part due to late reporting of data).
