Year: 2023
Type: report
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: In 2015, a U.S. Supreme Court landmark decision ensured that everywhere in the nation, same-sex couples had the legal right to marry.In part two of our installment of Profiles examining the characteristics of recently married couples, this profile looks at differentials in key geographic and economic indicators (mobility, geographic residence, homeownership, and household income) and is an update of a previous profile (Payne & Manning, 2021).A focus on newlywed couples, rather than all married couples, provides insights into their circumstances at the time of marriage.Part one of this installment on newlyweds is Recent Marriages to Same-sex and Different-sex Couples: Marital History and Age at Marriage (Westrick-Payne & Manning 2023).Both profiles use data from the ACS 1-year PUMS files from 2022 to examine individuals who married in the last year disaggregated by the sex/gender composition of the marriage entered into.Analyses are limited to currently married householders and spouses of householders who married in the last year, and we show 95% confidence intervals in some figures.Note that the sequencing cannot be determined for marriage, moves, residence, and homeownership within the last year.
