Source: Georgia Department of Public Health, OASIS birth data (query of the public tool), by county and state. Calendar years, single-year rates. Small counties are suppressed by the state tool in some years. The tool reports ages 15 to 17 and 18 to 19 separately; the combined 15 to 19 rate is shown. County Health Rankings publishes a higher figure (18.6 for Georgia in its 2025 release) because it pools several years of births; the scoping report names the state tool as the best source and that is what is used here.
