The charts below give information about USA marriage and divorce rates between 1970 and 2000 an the marital status of adult Americans in two of the years.
The first bar chart depicts the changes in the number of marriages and divorces in the USA from 1970 to 2000 while the second one illustrates the figures for the marital status, never married, married, divorced and widowed, of American adults in 1970 and 2000.
It is clear, in general, that although there was a fall in the number of marriages in the USA, the number of marriages was always higher than that of divorces during the period. Besides, the majority of adult Americans were married in both two years, 1970 and 2000, but the proportion of single adults was higher in 2000.
To specify, there were 2.5 millions of marriages and 1 million divorces in the USA in 1970. The marriage rate remained stable in the next ten years but dropped to 2 million by the year 2000. In contrast, the divorce rate reached a peak in 1980, at nearly 1.4 million divorces, before falling back to 1 million at the end of the period.
As the marital status is concerned, around 70% of American adults were married in 1970, but this figure dropped to just under 60% by 2000. Similarly, the percentage of widowed decreased slightly accounted for around 5%. The proportion of divorces, in comparison, was almost negligible in 1970 and rose significantly to about 10% in 2000. Likewise, unmarried adults climbed from 15% to 20% after 30 years.
