A record number of U.S. 40-year-olds have never married and most live alone, according to a new analysis of Census Bureau data going back more than a century.
A record number of U.S. 40-year-olds have never married and most live alone, according to a new analysis of Census BureauThe Pew Research Center reported Wednesday that 25% of 40-year-olds in 2021 had never been married, up from 20% in 2010. Most lived alone, with just 22% of never-married adults ages 40 to 44 reporting last year that they cohabitated with a romantic partner.
“More-highly educated 40-year-olds are more likely to have married, but the growth of this group has not reversed the overall trend of delaying or forgoing marriage,” Mr. Fry said in a summary of the findings. According to Pew, people born starting in the 1960s have increasingly delayed marriage and a growing number have not wed.
