Highest Divorce Rates in America

DatingNews analysts looked at the U.S. Census Bureau’s marital status reports for every U.S. micropolitan area to find those with the highest percentage of divorcees as well as relevant demographics to see how economic conditions may have influenced the results. Every town on the list has a divorce rate above 15%, whereas the national average for 2017 (the most recent statistics available) was 10.9%.
