Non-Marital Births

County: Arlington
Measurement Period: 2020
This indicator shows the percentage of births to unmarried women.

Why is this important?

Non-marital births include births to a pregnant person whose marital status is other than married at time of birth. The percentage of births to pregnant persons who were unmarried has remained at about 40% since the late 2000s (National Center for Health Statistics). 

Inclusive Language Recommendations: As not all people who are pregnant identify as women, recommendations for more gender-inclusive language include using "pregnant people" and "pregnant patients" or other wording as applicable when referring to general recommendations for pregnancy (National Institutes of Health).
