By being female or through loss?

Cuz I mean roughly half the population of the US has zero by default and they are included in this statistic. So for them you may also be part of why the number is greater than zero.

Or through parenting, perhaps?

If you personally have two, but have two kids with zero, you're responsible for lowering the average to one, or lower depending on how we account for your partner's contribution
