The age that women become mothers in the U.S. varies significantly by geography and education. As a result, children are born into very different family lives — heading for diverging economic futures. A new analysis of 4 decades of births shows that first-time mothers are older in big cities and on the coasts, and younger in rural areas and in the Great Plains and the South. In NYC and San Francisco, their average age is 31 and 32. In Todd County, South Dakota, and Zapata County, Texas, it’s half a generation earlier, at 20 and 21. The difference cuts along many of the same lines that divide the U.S. in other ways. The biggest one? Education. Women with college degrees have kids an average of 7 years later than those without. Researchers say the differences in when women start families are a symptom of the nation's inequality. As moving up the economic ladder has become harder, mothers' circumstances could have a bigger effect on their kids’ futures. Ellen Scanlon, who lives in San Francisco — and who was photographed here by @cayceclifford — became a first-time mother 3 months ago at age 40. First she went to business school, built a career in finance and started a strategy consulting firm. She met her husband when she was 31, but they were in no rush to start a family.
