Abstract

Nearly one-quarter (23%) of all adults who married in 2022 entered a remarriage. In recent decades, the remarriage rate has plummeted, falling from 50 per 1,000 previously married adults (individuals divorced or widowed) in 1990 to 24.1 per 1,000 by 2022. However, there is substantial variation in the remarriage rate by age group. In this Family Profile, we examine age-related change in the remarriage rate from 1990 to 2022 using 1990 U.S. Vital Statistics and the 2022 American Community Survey data. This profile is an update to FP-13-17, FP-17-21, & FP-20-13.
