Description:Objectives—New York City was an early epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States, with cases peaking in early April for January– December 2020. This report describes changes between 2019 and 2020 in the percentage of New York City residents giving birth outside of New York City by race and Hispanic origin of the mother, and makes comparisons with changes occurring between 2018 and 2019.
Methods—Data are based on 2018 and 2019 final and 2020 provisional birth certificate data for births to residents of New York City. Changes in the percentage of out-of-city births occurring from 2018 to 2019 and from 2019 to 2020 are computed for each month and compared.
Results—From 2019 to 2020, the percentage of births to New York City residents occurring outside of the City increased for all months from March through November, ranging from a 15% increase for September to a 70% increase for April. Out-of-city births peaked in April (10.2%) and May (10.3%) at more than one and one-half times the 2019 levels (6.0% and 6.2%, respectively). Among non-Hispanic white women,
the percentage of out-of-city births was nearly two and one-half times higher in 2020 than in 2019 in April (15.6% versus 6.6%) and May (15.8% versus 6.5%). Increases were less pronounced for births to non-Hispanic black and Hispanic residents; the percentage of out-of-city births for each group increased in only two months in 2020. In contrast, few statistically significant changes were observed between 2018 and 2019 in the percentage of out-of-city births for New York City residents overall, or residents of the three largest race and Hispanic- origin groups.
