Twin births have more than doubled since the early 1970s, and that today about one in every 35 births in the U. S. is twins, http://www.announcements-
A national study found that Massachusetts and Connecticut residents have rates for twin deliveries were as much as 25% higher than the overall national rate. For triplets, try living in Nebraska or New Jersey, where both states have a percentage of triplets that is twice the national average. But if you live in Hawaii your chances of having a multiple will decrease to about 30% below the overall U.S. rate.
Age can also work in a woman's favor when it comes to conceiving twins. Older mothers traditionally have a higher chance of delivering twins, with the odds increasing to 1 in 27 when the mother is 35 years or older. While identical twins have no familial connection, fraternal twins can run in the family. Female fraternal twins score an impressive 1 in 17 chance of giving birth to their own set of fraternal twins, probably because many carry a gene for hyper ovulation, which means they sometimes release more than one egg during ovulation. And, if a woman has already given birth to fraternal twins, the chance of another set increases four times.
