Summary

Darker amber is a higher share of adults 15 and over who are currently married (married, except separated). Alaska and Hawaii are inset. Puerto Rico appears in the ranking and table.

A typical published area has 48.6% of adults 15 and over currently married (married, except separated), the midpoint of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico on the 2023 ACS five-year estimates. Utah leads at 55.1%. The District of Columbia has the lowest currently married share at 31.5% and the highest never married share at 55.2%. Puerto Rico leads divorced at 13.9%. These are area shares of the population 15 and over, not a United States marital-status rate.

About this data

  • Marital status comes from ACS table B12001, Sex by Marital Status for the Population 15 Years and Over. Shares are of that 15-and-over population.
  • Currently married means now married, except separated: male and female "now married" minus those reported as separated. In B12001, "now married" is a parent that includes separated.
  • The Census published 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. None of the status counts were suppressed.
  • A midpoint of state shares is not a United States marital-status rate. These rows cannot be averaged into the national figure.
  • The map covers the 48 contiguous states with Alaska and Hawaii inset. Puerto Rico stays in the ranking and table.
  • ACS margins of error published as controlled estimates with no sampling error are stored as missing and shown as a dash.
