U.S. twin birth rate 1980-2021

Since 1980 the U.S. birth rate for twins has risen significantly. As of 2021 the birth rate for twins in the U.S. was 31.2 per 1,000 live births. It is believed that an increase in the twin birth rate may be associated with an increased use of vitro fertilization and other assisted reproductive technologies in recent years.
