My favorite part of this method and paper is that we can show conditional rates of first birth - that is, rates at which people transition to becoming parents - by state and race or ethnicity (see alt text for interpretation):

Four panels showing rates of transition to parenthood in 2017 by race or ethnicity. Three states - California, Louisiana, and Utah - are highlighted. The age-shape and level of the curves varies substantially by both race/ethnicity and state - for example, in California (red line), people become parents much more slowly across all race/ethnicities than they do in Louisiana or Utah, which both have larger peaks (LA's around 21 and UT's at 26). Non-Hispanic Black Americans have high rates of transition to birth in their early 20s, but in Louisiana their rate actually falls significantly after age 23, while it flatlines in California (there are not enough non-Hispanic Black Utahns for us to show their rate). Black Louisianans' pattern is quite similar to the pattern among white Utahns, although their rate peaks around age 26. For most other state and race/ethnicity combinations, the rate rises continually up to age 31, the last age shown here.
