Description:The fertility of the Hispanic population continued at a very high level in 1980. In that year the fertility rate for women of Hispanic origin was 95.4 births per 1.000 women aged 15-44 years. This rate was 53 percent higher than the rate for white non-Hispanic women (62.4) and 5 percent above the rate for black non-Hispanic women (90.7). The fertility rate for Mexian women remains substantially above that of women of other Hispanic ongins. The 1980 rate for Mexican women was 111.3, 45 percent above the rate for Puerto Rican women (77.0), 166 percent higher than the rate for Cuban women (41 .9), and 48 percent above the rate for other Hispanic women (75.3). Age- specific birth rates indicate that the fertility of Hispanic women is higher than that of either white or black non-Hispanic women at ages 20 years and older. These rates were computed for the total of 22 States which reported Hispanic origin on their birth certificate in 1980. These 22 States accounted for an estimated 90 percent of all births of Hispanic origin in the United States.
