 Teen Childbearing in America's Largest Cities   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Readers may note that cities where the number of births to teens has declined the most are ones which have generally been losing population in recent years and many of the cities where the number of births have increased are cities that have generally been gaining population.
Therefore, in the cities where the number of teen births has been increasing it is unclear whether this is due to an increase in the rate at which teens are having babies or an increase in the number of teens.
For the remaining 39 cities, we estimated the number of 15- to 19-year-old females by calculating the percentage of the total city population that were 15- to 19-year-old females in 1990 and multiplied this percentage times the total city population in 1991 and 1996.

London was the first city to have several million inhabitants, reaching this size in the second half of the 19th century, reflecting its status as the economic and political centre of the British Empire.
