Birth rate = # births to girls 15-19 divided by total number girls 15-19 in same county times 1000. Rates based on few events may be statistically unreliable and should be interpreted with caution.

A negative number in the % change in rate means that the birth rate has gone down. 

e.g.: Achieved - 10% Reduction:     Achieved -20% Reduction:  

Rankings have not been tested for statistical significance.
