You might want to look into Puerto Rico, where the American planning policy sought to limit Puerto Rico's birth rate.
>By 1949 a survey of Puerto Rican women found that 21% of women interviewed had been sterilized, with sterilizations being performed in 18% of all hospital births statewide as a routine post-partum procedure.

Why should identical genetic, cultural, or psychological conditions lead to precisely the same rate of some procedure?
Maybe 2.5 times is well within the noise bounds. It's easy for rare diseases, for example, to triple the risk with some small lifestyle change...because 2x the existing risk is still really small.
