* Data from 45 reporting areas; excludes seven reporting areas (California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Wisconsin) that did not report, did not report age among adolescents by individual year, or did not meet reporting standards.
† Percentages for the individual component categories might not add to 100% because of rounding.
§ 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.
¶ 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.
†† 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. 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.
