Abstract: Although marriage and divorce have been undergoing rapid transformations in the U.S., little is known about the geographic concentration of marriage and divorce, particularly at the county level.National and state-level trends mask important spatial differences in marriage and divorce (Lesthaghe & Neidert, 2006).These maps showcase variation within states and point to the importance of county rather than state level data.In this profile, we present county-level maps of the adjusted marriage and divorce rates in the U.S. for 2010.The numerator for these rates is from administrative data amassed with funding provided by NIH and can be found on the NCFMR webpage here: https://www.bgsu.edu/ncfmr/resources/data/original-data/county-level- marriage-divorce-data-2010.html.More details and analyses were published in Manning, Payne, and Stykes (2017).
