Evaluation of the Marital Events Items on the ACS

Written by:

Introduction

Beginning in 2008, marital history items were added to the American Community Survey (ACS) to collect national and state-level marriage and divorce data previously obtained only through vital records collection. With these new items on the ACS, we now have a more complete picture of the state of marriage, divorce, and widowhood in American society.
