U.S. Divorce Rates Hit Decades Low Amid Rising Gray Divorces
In 2023, over 1.8 million Americans divorced, with divorce rates declining since the 1980s due to shifts in marriage demographics, though 'gray divorce' among older adults has increased. Many divorced individuals remarry, and divorce often occurs within the first decade of marriage. Factors such as race, education, and nativity influence divorce likelihood, and divorced adults tend to have lower income and wealth compared to married counterparts.
