As you can see in the chart titled “Alaska's ASFR 2000 & 2010” above, the Age-Specific fertility (ASFR) rates differ very much in 2010 compared to 2000. The Age Specific Fertile Rate is also abbreviated as ASFR; it is the number of live births per 1000 women. It is focused on a certain age group in an area at a specific point in time. While looking at the Age specific fertility rate graph for 2000 for all age groups, it quickly increases at the beginning and then slowly begins to decrease as the age groups get older. For the year 2010 it is different; it begins increasing but then you see a plateau like effect when it reaches the 20-24 and 25-29 age groups. After that constant it begins to decrease as age increases.
