I was looking up some statistics for an email conversation with my mom (on the average age a woman has her first child in modern times, which is age 25) and happened across this census data in my search. Thought you guys would find it interesting!
This is the percentage of woman who have hit age 44 (i.e. past childbearing years) who are married and did NOT have any kids. So it's not unusual at all. This isn't even counting unmarried women. Yes I know you can have kids without being married, but it's less likely.
