NY has rates for 2008 listed. 36.4%.
I haven't seen one for the state as its own page, but if you go to any hospital's page, they are compared to the 2008 NYS rate, so there's a back door to knowing! Here's my local hospital.

I would love to see a post for Michigan. I can never find a good map, or the local hospital c-section rates. And of course, no one is willing to disclose anything.
With most states, you will find most popular baby names easily accessible and absolutely nothing on cesarean rates. Except for maybe an old 2003 report that someone in their DPH put together.
Thanks for your ongoing work on this. Wow.
I've noticed. That's why I think it's so awesome that a lot of work has been put into the states that you've complied so far!
Thanks.
It needs a ton of work beyond just getting data from more states. I'd love to get things as standardized as possible and put things in context as well. It gives everyone a partial piece of the picture, though, so it's worth it.
It's sad that so many mothers are choosing to go down the path of a c-section. Apart from the obvious health problems - there is the issue of birth trauma. Whilst people might call me new age - i think the entrance you make into this world can make a big difference into personality traits. Who wants to be ripped out of your unconcious mother under bright lights and fed baby formula....
