Americans are having fewer babies. New births are declining in the US, while death rates are rising.

New data from the Atlanta-based CDC shows from 2010 to 2023, the number of births dropped 10%.

The data also showed deaths rose 25% during that same period.

However, those rates were greatly impacted by the covid pandemic.

The aging US population is also contributing to the rising death rates.
