Well, the fertility rate for Hispanics in Minnesota in 2006 was 134 while the white non-hispanic rate was 61.
The black fertility rate was 114 as was the American Indian rate. The Asian rate was 93.
Fertility for all races under 20 was 28.2. The general fertility rate was 2.14, which has increased pretty dramatically from about 1.7 in the mid 1970s. There was 73,515 births in the state in 2006, the most since 1964.
Fertility rates across all rates and age groups increased in 2006. People are simply having more children and with the larger cohorts of young people, especially in places like Mississippi from the "echo boom" of the 1980s and early '90s reaching childbearing age, it doesn't surprise me that the rates have gone up.
