title: Reproduction rates for 1990-2002 and intrinsic rates for 2000-2001: United States.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This report presents revised rates of reproduction for 1990-93, reproduction rates for 1994-2002, and intrinsic rates for 2000-2001. The revised rates for 1991-93 are based on populations consistent with the April 1, 2000, census, as are the rates for 1994-2002.
  
  
  METHODS
  Tabular and graphic data on the reproduction and intrinsic rates by race and Hispanic origin of mother are presented and described.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Rates of reproduction (total fertility, gross reproduction, and net reproduction rates), the intrinsic rate of natural increase, and the intrinsic birth rate were lower in 2001 (and 2002) than 1990. Among the race and Hispanic subgroups, the reproduction rates were lower for all groups except Cubans and whites (total). The overall intrinsic death rate increased between 1990 and 2001 with the rate declining for whites (total) but increasing for blacks (total).
