You think Florida has a smaller population than Wisconsin?

Wisconsin average age 40. Florida average age 42.

This may be skewed though as Florida has so many retirees, thy could still have more young people in their child bearing years than Wisconsin.

Instead of just guessing you can look all this up in one Google search. Percent of population aged 20-34 is 18.8% in Florida 19.7% in Wisconsin

So roughly 4.09 million in Florida vs 1.16 million in Wisconsin, based on current googled populations. I think this is a better comparison given that the OP’s chart is not births per capita but births total, though obviously current population is different than the OP’s post.
