Source: Data prepared for the March of Dimes by the U.S. Census Bureau using March 2004 – March 2006 Current Population Survey
Annual Social and Economic Supplements. Rankings computed by the March of Dimes. Notes: State data are compiled using threeyear averages because small sample sizes make single-year state data less reliable. Rankings are based on more than one decimal
place; differences among states may not be significant. The United States averages in this table should be used only in comparison to
state rates; refer to the data highlighted on p. 1 when citing 2006 national figures.
