did their 1960 counterparts, the Census Bureau reports.
It uses the unromantic but scientific term “fertility ratio” in describing its findings. The ratio shows how many children there are, under five, for every 1,000 women within the normal child-bearing ages -15 to 49.
Based on the general trend since 1960, as determined by a national sampling survey, the ratio in Rappahannock County at the present time is approximately 366 such children per 1,000 women, considerably lower than 1960’s 458.
It compares favorably, however, with the ratios in many areas of the country. Some of them are as low as 100.
The report notes that the data ’’does not show the extent to which the pill and other relatively new techniques of family planning are responsible for the substantial decline in fertility, but they undoubtedly have been a contributing factor.”
