Marriages in America
The first bar chart compares the number of marriages and divorces in America over a period of 30 years, beginning in 1970. The second chart illustrates the proportion of adult US citizens according to their marital status in the years 1970 and 2000.
Overall, the number of marriages fell over the period, although the second chart shows that the percentage of couples who were married remained significantly higher than the other categories.
In 1970 and 1980, there were 2.5 million married couples in the USA. However, the figure fell to about 2.3 million in 1990 and then to 2 million in 2000. The same period witnessed a fluctuating trend for divorcees. From 1 million in 1970, the number rose to almost 1.5 million in 1980 before falling steadily to 1 million in 2000.
The vast majority of Americans were married. The percentage fell, however, from 70% in 1970 to 60% in 2000. In contrast, the figures for those who were ‘never married’ and those who were ‘divorced’ both rose between these two years, from 15% to 20%, and from 3% to about 10% respectively. Finally, the proportion of ‘widowed’ declined from 9% in 1970 to 6% in 2000.
