In the USA, the percentage of total births to both Non-Hispanic White parents fell to 39.8% in 2022, down from 40.8% in 2021.
Some states including Texas & California recorded a percentage less than 25%, while others like West Virginia and New Hampshire recorded over 70%
To clarify even further, these births refer to births to both a non-hispanic white mother and a non-hispanic white father.
