Analyzes trends in marital status and family composition. The report assesses such characteristics as age, employment, and education level that seem to influence decisions to marry, divorce, remarry, and "redivorce." It also examines the consequences in terms of living arrangements and family composition. In addition, tables provide a variety of data by sex, race, and Hispanic origin.

Tables reveal trends over decades and can reach as far back as the 1920's. The text suggests possible changes in these patterns in the 1990's.

A Note on Language

Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
