Teenage pregnancy is technically defined as occurring when women under the age of 20 become pregnant, although in the United States, the term usually refers to girls younger than 18 years of age. Approximately 40% of young women under 20 become pregnant in the United States. 95% of these are unintended, one third end in abortion, one third end in miscarriage, and one third will continue their pregnancy and keep their baby.[2]

Thirty-one percent of young women become pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20 -- about 750,000 a year. Eight in ten of these pregnancies are unintended and 81 percent are to unmarried teens.
Close to four in ten girls who had first intercourse at 13 or 14 report it was either non-voluntary or unwanted.
The largest decline since 1991 by race was for black women. The birth rate for black teens aged 15 to 19 fell 48 percent between 1991 to 2006. Hispanic teen birth rates declined 22 percent between 1991 and 2005. The rates of both Hispanics and blacks, however, remain higher than for other groups. Hispanic teens now have the highest teenage birth rates.

I would say that the % are higher in the African American teens. I will say about 25-30%, this year the % declined.
