      Source: IPUMS USA Census Microdata – 2023 5-year data (I believe 2024 5-year data will be available soon, but I wanted to make this one since it’s Valentine’s Day.)

      Data citation: IPUMS USA, University of Minnesota, [www.ipums.org](http://www.ipums.org/)

      Tools: R (packages: dplyr, ggplot2, sf, usmap, tools, ggfx, grid, scales, cowplot, showtext, sysfonts, colorspace)

      This map counts people who are currently married (including if their spouse isn’t present but excluding separated and divorced)

      You may be wondering what a Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA) is…

      PUMAs are areas designated by the Census Bureau for statistical reporting. They each have between 100k and 200k residents, don’t cross state lines, and follow county and city boundaries when possible. Their big advantage over county maps is letting us see much more detail in urban areas, but it does come at the cost of being able to present all the information in one image. Additionally, many counties often have very high margins of error for survey data like this. The relatively consistent size of PUMAs ensures reasonably low margins of error across the whole map.

      This is actually fascinating. Like okay, liberal coastal states with big cities have a lower % than some others- kinda expected that. Utah being #1 for % of married adults 30-34 also makes perfect sense, given, yknow, the mormons. But what the fuck is up with new mexico and D.C.?

      The sub divisions really show areas with high Native American/Islander population have very low rates of marriage. That’s very interesting. Northern New Mexico, Great Basin Arizona, South Dakota, Alaska, Hawaii, even the Lumbee in North Carolina.

      The Boston map tells the typical timeline so well. When young and in your 20s or early 30s, living in the city proper. But once married and starting to have kids moving to fhe satellite towns.

      Actually, I’m surprised Alaska isn’t lower with the male female imbalance there

      I’m from MD and I find it really interesting that those rural areas in the western portions of the state have a lower marriage percentage than the other areas in the state 🤔

      Marriage-rates are complicated because they track several completely distinct things:

      * People with more education marry later, so all else being equal, marriage-rates at age 30-34 will be lower in places with more education.
      * People who are more progressive see nothing wrong with unmarried cohabitation, so might never marry at all, or marry several years after starting cohabitation, in contrast more religious or conservative folks will tend to marry earlier.
      * Some of the unmarried simply lack a partner, some rural districts where young women have left for education in the bigger cities will thus have low marriage-rates simply because many of the men are **single.**
