→Distribution of foreskinned males in the United States: Add citation.
The distribution of [[foreskinned]] males varies widely by census region, state, and by locality. The percentage of [[intact]] males is highest in the West census region and lowest in the Midwest census region. Among the states, Washington is believed to have the highest percentage of intact males and West Virginia is believed to have the lowest percentage of intact males.
Laumann et al. (1997) found that the incidence of neonatal [[circumcision]] in the [[United States]] reached its peak in 1965 at about 85 percent of boys being [[circumcised]].<ref name="laumann1997">{{REFjournal
