Under 10% of us are divorced and not remarried -- 2017 U.S. census data

The annual census numbers do not count who is "divorced" as in "ever divorced;" they report current marital status.

 

Total Population 15 Years Old and Over

259,063,000

 

Currently-divorced

25,482,000

Including 3,700,000 more women than men.

 

Never married

82,912,000

Including 4,738,000 more men than women.

 

Currently married (including separated, but not widowed or divorced)

135,749,000

Disturbingly, women reporting themselves married, with husbands still alive, consistently number more than men doing so. For 2017 the difference is 415,000, but for several years before that, it was around 800,000.
