Abstract

Despite the substantial decline in the U.S. marriage rate in recent decades, there is significant variation in the pace and magnitude of this decline across demographic groups. This Family Profile charts the marriage patterns of women aged 15 and older since 1900 using data from the National Vital Statistics, Decennial Censuses, and the American Community Survey. It also explores marital status variation by race/ethnicity and educational attainment. This profile is an update of FP-20-21, FP-18-17, and FP-13-13.
