* Data from 48 reporting areas; excludes four reporting areas (California, Maryland, New Hampshire, and New Jersey) that did not report, did not report by age, or did not meet reporting standards.
† Percentages for the individual component categories might not add to 100% because of rounding.
§ Percentage is calculated as the number of abortions reported by known age divided by the sum of abortions reported by known and unknown age. Values ≥99.95% are rounded to 100.0%.
¶ Cells with a numerical value in the range of 1–4 and cells that would allow for calculation of these small values have been suppressed.
** Includes residents only.
†† For August–December 2022, variable was collected for residents only and reported as unknown for nonresidents.
§§ Data reported from facilities physically situated in state only.
¶¶ Percentage is based on a total of 613,383 abortions reported among the areas that met reporting standards for age; reporting standards for age were applied to abortions for residents of Illinois only.
*** Number of abortions obtained by women in a specific age group per 1,000 women in that same age group. Adolescents aged 13–14 years were used as the denominator for the group of adolescents aged <15 years, and women aged 40–44 years were used as the denominator for the group of women aged ≥40 years. For the total abortion rate only, abortions for women of unknown age were distributed according to the distribution of abortions among women of known age.
††† Number of abortions obtained by women in a specific age group per 1,000 live births to women in that same age group. For the total abortion ratio only, abortions for women of unknown age were distributed according to the distribution of abortions among women of known age.
