Description: These rates are per 1,000 population of 15 - 19 year old females by year.

Source: Data available from North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics (NC SCHS), Vital Statistics. There are several reports on this webpage. Scroll down to section called, "NC Reported Pregnancies" by year to find report, "Pregnancy Rates by race and ethnicity and by age": http://www.schs.state.nc.us/data/vital.cfm#vitalpreg

NOTE: The "NC Reported Pregnancies" report for years prior to 2010 does not present data by race and ethnicity the same way. The data prior to 2010 appears as "white" and "minority" and is not comparable to more recent years. Only county and state totals (not by race or ethnicity) are included for years prior to 2010.
