Despite having the highest total fertility rate in the nation for many years, Utah’s total fertility rate is now the 3rd highest in the nation, behind North Dakota and South Dakota.
. . . .Utah’s high fertility rate has distinguished the state for decades. Utah’s total fertility rate (TFR) has long been higher than the nation, with Utah being the youngest state in the nation since the 1980s. Despite a declining TFR across the last 15 years, Utah has remained above the nation (1.99 compared to 1.71 in 2019).
