Teen Births are Falling Faster in Cities than in the Rest of the Country (2016)
•
Teen births in the US hit an all-time low in 2015, but rural parts of the country haven’t experienced as big of a decline as larger cities and metro areas.
Federal data shows that from 2007-2015, the teen birthrate fell by 48% in urban counties. In rural counties, the teen birthrate fell 37% — still a remarkable decline, just not quite as significant as the change in cities.
There are many more states now with urban counties experiencing a 50% or greater decline in teen birthrates, compared with states with rural counties going through the same change.

What it found was teens in rural areas have reduced access to health services, namely public clinics that offer free or subsidized contraceptive methods. Rural populations also have higher uninsured rates and are more likely to be in poverty. And rural teens might face transportation barriers and a gap in access to online resources.
