No. 77. TOTAL FERTILITY RATE AND INTRINSIC RATE OF NATURAL INCREASE,
BY RACE: 1940 To 1968

[Excludes Hawaii and, prior to 1959, Alaska. Prior to 1960, based on births adjusted for underregistration; beginning 1960, on registered births. The total fertility rate is the number of births that 1,000 women would have in their lifetime if, at each year of age, they experienced the birth rates occurring in the specified year. A total fertility rate of 2.110 represents "replacement level" fertility for the total population under current mortality conditions. The intrinsic rate of natural increase is the rate that would eventually prevail if a population were to experience, at each year of age, the birth rates and death rates occurring in the specified year and if these rates remained unchanged over a long period of time]

1 Figures by race exclude data for residents of New Jersey for 1962 and 1963.
