Source & definition: Live births by mother's nativity (Pew Research Center analysis of CDC/NCHS natality data). 'Foreign-born' = mother born outside the United States.

Each country's statistical office defines “migrant background” differently (mother's citizenship, country of birth, or parents' origin), so figures are not directly comparable across countries and may be out of date. Always check the cited source for the latest official numbers.
