Here's the government data I referenced, I am using my specific hometown neighborhood zipcode "11717", it's 94.5% between 2006-2008.

I believe the data, but the numbers given on that data sheet aren't percentages :-)

> Pregnancy rates are the number of pregnancies per 1,000 females age 15 to 19 years

95.46 pregnancies / 1000 females = 9.546%

(actually, you can't infer an exact percentage of girls who became pregnant from this statistic, as one female can have multiple pregnancies within a year, but you get what I mean)
