I happened to come across statistics for highest rates of teenage pregnancy. The results were in the form of a map locating the areas where the most teenage girls are getting pregnant. I can't say I'm surprised by the result, but without fail, the areas with the most pregnancies were all situated around catholic schools. Like I said, interesting, not surprising.

I don't know what the statistics are now but, at one point in time...Michigan was one of the highest ranking states for teen pregnancy.

I have no idea what state has the highest rate, but here in Georgia there are lots of teen pregnancies.  I think it has a lot to do with the parents though.  Not that they are situated around Catholic schools.
