An experience reported by a person

This calculation sums the male and female divorced-last-year cells in B12503 and divides by the table total. It is a resident survey estimate with sampling uncertainty, not an administrative divorce count.

A respondent can report a recent divorce and have a different current marital status. Recent experience and current status answer separate questions.

Comparing states responsibly

ACS provides estimates for all 50 states and DC in this release. That does not fill missing CDC administrative event records: the unit, collection method, geography and reference period differ. Use the same measure and reference year in the explorer.
