To head off confusion, I want to stress that this data is organized by the *mother’s birth country*. In other words, this is mostly tracking twin percentages among US immigrants (although US citizens are occasionally born abroad, also).
The neutral color at the center of the scale is 3.4%, which is the percentage of twin+ births among US-born mothers.
Seeing this I kinda think “okay but why?”, but it is interesting to see some countries stand out
