Notes

Data for White, Black, and Asian do not include Hispanics. Hispanic ethnicity includes persons of any race. Prior to 2010, the New York City Department of Health did not provide the New Jersey Department of Health with race and ethnicity data for the more than 3,000 births to New Jersey residents that occur in that city each year and still does not provide NJDOH with maternal birthplace. The additional race and ethnicity information creates an artificial increase in the number of births to mothers in each group (the denominator) but does not increase the number of foreign-born mothers (the numerator). Thus, rates appear to decline sharply in 2010 when it is merely a data artifact.
