If you look at replacement rates in the west, we are not even hitting the 2.2 children per couple needed to maintain.

Anecdotally, I think this is changing, at least amongst middle class Southern families. I’m familiar with at least one pretty representative group of younger 30-something’s. It seems like they are having more kids in than the group than the group that came of age between 2005-2015.

I see more 3/4 kid families for parents born between 1990-2000 than I saw for parents born 1980-1990.
