April Birth Data
Is There A Charlie Kirk Effect Happening?
The preliminary April 2026 data from the CDC shows the continued trend we’ve seen since the beginning of the Trump Administration.
Overall, births are down from April 2025 to April 2026 by 3.8 percent, but that number is higher among different ethnic and racial groups than others.
No group is having a faster decline in fertility than black American women, whose birthrate has seen an unparalleled collapse, falling to just 11.62 percent of all births in April, 11.9 percent of known births. It is very possible that before the decade is up, births from black women will fall into the single digits.
Also seeing sizable declines are Native Americans; the birthrate is collapsing at such an extreme level that it’s very likely they will all but vanish as a culture by the century’s end. Latinos’ fertility rate also fell by nearly 4.6 percent.
The white and Asian birthrates are also down, but by lower percentages than the general population, which means they increased as a percentage of overall births. The white birthrate hit 51.76 percent of all known births, the highest it’s been in several years.
