==Distribution of foreskinned males in the United States==
===Percentage of foreskinned males in the United States===
Peter Moore (2015) reported that 62 percent of all American males reported being [[circumcised]],<ref name="moore2015">{{REFweb

}}</ref> The incidence of circumcision has been declining slowly ever since, which means that one finds more [[intactness]] as age decreases. There also is more intactness among hispanic males.
Jacobsen et al. (2021) reported significant declines in the incidence of [[circumcision]] with an incidence of only 52.1 percent at the end of the study period in 2016. The corrolary is a [[foreskinned]] incidence of 47.9 percent among the boys born in 2016. Jacobsen et al. also reported that the incidence of [[intactness]] in the Midwest has increased from 1 boy in 10 (10%) to 1 boy in 4 (25%). The percentage of foreskinned newborn males increased at a rate of 4/10 of one percent per year during the study period.<ref name="jacobsen2021">{{REFjournal
