ℹ️ About These Numbers
Birth rates are based on UN World Population Prospects and CDC National Vital Statistics data. The global birth rate is approximately 4.2 births per second (132.4 million per year). The US rate is approximately one birth every 8.7 seconds (3.6 million per year). These are statistical estimates - actual births vary throughout the day and year.
Numbers are statistical estimates based on annual birth rate data, not real-time hospital feeds.
