South Dakota has some of the worst Native American reservations in the country. Extremely low standards of living, which leads to low life expectancy and high birth rate.

You can clearly see that between 2000 and 2017, a smaller percentage of each county’s population is new children.
A trend like this has only happened twice in modern history.
Between 1990-1995 the fertility rate fell, but not as much as is currently happening.
But between 1960-1975 the fertility rate fell an unbelievable amount.
The social impact of that must have been crazy. Puts hippies and rock’n’roll and Disco into context.
I wonder how long our fertility rate can fall?
