Description: 

New analysis of the Census shows large differences between the marriage and birth choices of Northeastern states residents and residents of the South. The study shows that though immigrants accounted for 15 percent of babies in the past year, there were many states where immigrants made up only 3-5 percent of new mothers. This suggests a population that is clumped into certain states and regions. Please click this link for The Census Bureau's study.
