Circumcision maps are used to graphically display the geographic distribution of the prevalence and/or incidence of male circumcision.

Prevalence is the percentage of all males (all ages) in a population who have been circumcised. It does not indicate the present rate (incidence) of circumcision.

Map showing incidence of neonatal circumcision in U.S. hospitals

We thank Saving Our Sons (SoS) for providing this map that shows the incidence of non-therapeutic neonatal circumcision in U.S. hospitals in 2009-10. The incidence of non-therapeutic circumcision is the percentage of newborn baby boys who are being circumcised. The overall incidence of circumcision of the newborn in the United States has declined somewhat since this map was prepared.
