Total resident live births is a count of births to women who live in Florida. When displayed as a rate, it is the number of births per 1000 population.The birth rate is an item of interest because it provides a standardized measure for monitoring the general increase or decrease in births. When applied specifically to age groups, such as teens, or to geographic areas, such as states, counties or countries, one can make comparisons between them.
