Key Takeaways
The U.S. maintained a steady fertility rate of 2.1 from 1990 through the early 2000s, supported by consistent economic growth and immigration-driven population dynamics. The gradual decline to 1.7 by 2022 reflects shifting societal norms, such as delayed childbirth and economic pressures.

The stabilization in recent years suggests a balance between declining native birth rates and the influence of immigrant populations, underscoring the diverse factors shaping U.S. demographics.
