Drawn from birth certificates, the report tracks eight key measures of child well-being in the 50 states and 55 large cities in the US. The report also includes national, state, and  city-level data on total births by race and ethnicity. Updated data are available as profiles, line graphs, national maps, rankings, and raw data for the nation's 50 largest cities and the 50 states through 2002.
