Source notes & limitations
Table 2, 'Birth rates, by age of mother: United States, 2010-2021', All-races-and-origins block, 15-19 'Total' column. Used for the 2020 figure, which the Health, United States trend table does not reach. Two traps in this document, both guarded in the extraction script: an 'All races and origins' heading appears on more than one page for more than one table, and Table 2's columns omit the crude birth rate that the trend tables carry, so the 15-19 total sits one cell earlier than in Health, United States. Reading the neighbouring cell gives the 15-17 sub-rate, about half the value and entirely plausible alone.
Where this source appears
1 records across 1 decades and countries. Documented gaps are included; a source cited for a gap does not establish a value.
0 of 1 records have a current source audit. A transcription check reads a declared numeric field from a pinned local source file; a calculation replay reads its operands and applies the declared method and rounding rule. A source audit does not independently validate the source or every claim in a record. The date is the last successful local audit; the build checks that its bindings still match.
