About this piece

The birth rate in the United States in 1870, an original color lithograph (Plate XL) from the Statistical Atlas of the United States based on the results of the ninth census 1870, compiled by Francis A. Walker and published in 1874. The title reads "Map showing, in five degrees of density, the birth rate prevailing in the territory of the United States east of the 100th meridian, so far as the same is indicated by the ratio between the total population and the number of children under one year of age surviving at the date of enumeration, June 1st", compiled from the returns of population at the ninth census.

The map covers the eastern United States, with the Great Lakes, Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba and the Bahamas outlined. Counties are tinted in green, graded by a scale at the right, and the darker tones spread over the Midwest, the South and the western edge, while the older states of the Northeast stay paler. An explanation is printed beneath the title.

It is one of the plates on population and vital statistics in the atlas.
