Notes:

Pregnancies are the sum of the number of live births, reported induced terminations of pregnancies and reported fetal deaths of all gestations.
Rates are per 1,000 females in the appropriate age group.
To protect the confidentiality of females (whose pregnancies resulted in live births, spontaneous fetal deaths, or induced abortions) in Hamilton County, it was decided to merge its events with Essex County in tables where events have been categorized by age or race. The county names Essex/Hamilton and Hamilton/Essex give the same aggregated value.
