US Marriage Stats
Based on 2022 Census Data
Married Households per Total Households
States in the Mountain West, such as Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho show higher proportions of
married households, possibly influenced by cultural and religious factors prevalent in these
areas. Conversely, states along the West Coast and North East, including places like Nevada,
Oregon, and New York tend to have lower marriage rates.
The distribution of cohabitating households across the United States reveals notable
cultural and regional differences. In the Southeast, with the exception of Florida,
cohabitating households are relatively rare. This pattern may be influenced by cultural and
religious beliefs that emphasize marriage before cohabitation. In contrast, there is a
significant increase in cohabitating households as you move West, as well as in the
Northeast. These areas may reflect more liberal attitudes toward cohabitation and marriage.
