The spatial distribution of home delivery among the three consecutive surveys were non-random in Ethiopia. Educational status of women and husband, religion, distance to the health facility, wealth index, residence, parity, mobile access, Region, and antenatal care visit were statistically significant predictors of home delivery in Ethiopia. Therefore, an intervention needs to improve the coverage of antenatal care visit, and health care facilities. Ministry of health and other stakeholders should give special attention to women living in Amhara and SNNPR states of Ethiopia.
