Footnotes
1 Orange Co. (Santa Ana/Anaheim, CA) was Anaheim/Santa Ana, CA MSA Excluding City in 1980

Notes
* For 1990, natality data were not available for Glendale or Scottsdale, which are two of the 100 largest cities and part of the Phoenix MSA. To make comparisons, Phoenix city and suburban birth data and natality rates exclude these cities for both 1990 and 2000
* For 1990, natality data were not available for Plano, which is one of the 100 largest cities and part of the Dallas MSA. To make comparisons, Dallas city and suburban birth data and natality rates exclude Plano for both 1990 and 2000
* If the number of births was fewer than 100, the rate is not reported. Use caution in interpreting rates with small numbers.
* Data for MSAs are listed excluding the central city. Where two or more cities are shown together, they belong to the same Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). In these cases, the city data were combined to create a single urban entity.
* Due to naming conventions and other reasons, MSA names may have changed over time.
* Due to Land Annexation and other reasons, MSA size may have changed over time.
