Texas (63 births per 1000 females) has the dubious distinction of having the highest teenage birth rate, followed in order by Mississippi, New Mexico, Arizona, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Georgia, and South Carolina. All of these states have rates above 50. For comparison, in New England, Connecticut (24), Maine (24), Massachusetts (22), New Hampshire (18), Rhode Island (33), and Vermont (21), have teenage birth rates significantly less than half that.<ref>http://www.kidscount.org</ref>
