Tool : Made with Python’s Flask Framework. Source: All data from the CDC Wonder Natality Database. The color range was capped at +/-40% to avoid compressing the midrange. 7 countries had a greater than 40% increase and will appear darkest blue (Nicaragua 66%, Afghanistan 61%, Republic of the Congo 58%, Rwanda 51%, Tanzania 45%, Honduras 44%, Venezuela 40.5%).
All births in the US are registered by the CDC and the mother’s birth country is collected, with very few records missing that piece of information. The data was aggregated by mother’s birth country form 2016-2019 (OLD) and 2020-2023 (NEW). Then the percentage presented was calculated as (NEW – OLD) / OLD) and annualized.
To be clear and avoid any possible confusion, this is more or less showing the trend in immigrant births by country of origin, within the US. Although sometimes US citizens are born overseas (military bases, diplomats, etc…) and may be included.
at best meaningless without understanding absolute numbers. at worst feeding into harmful replacement theory propaganda.
Any map that lacks a title cannot be saved and used without additional context provided by the post, making it less archiveable.
(The image downloads as a jibberish file name, not whatever you named it, probably)
This makes it very hard to reference your data in the future.
I kindly suggest you add the map title to all products as it will make them more useful in the long term
This title is very confusing. How about “Change in US Mothers Countries of Origin, start_year-end_year”?
The plot should have a title and the legend should be labeled.
Why are you measuring the differences between ranges of years? Are you summing across those ranges or averaging? Why not just show the differences between 2016 and 2023? This could be supplemented with a plot to show changes from each country over time.
