According to the DC State Department of Health Statistics, the 2007 teen pregnancy rate is 58.6 pregnancies per 1,000 girls age 15 to 19 in DC. The teen pregnancy data typically lags 2-3 years behind real time.

The teen pregnancy rate is calculated by using the total pregnancies, which includes abortions, births and fetal deaths, divided by the population, multiplied by 1,000.
