U.S. Fertility Rate Collapses to Lowest Level Ever Recorded

by

A newly released CDC report confirms that the U.S. fertility rate has declined to the lowest level ever recorded in modern American history.

In 2025, the general fertility rate fell to just 53.1 births per 1,000 women aged 15–44, marking yet another historic low.

At the same time, total U.S. births declined to only 3.61 million nationwide in 2025.

U.S. fertility has now fallen approximately 23% since 2007. Even more concerning, fertility has dropped an additional 5.7% since 2021 alone.
