County-Level Marriage and Divorce Data, United States, 2011-2019

In the United States, there is no centralized location or agency responsible for providing administrative data on marriage and divorce at the local level, making it difficult to understand geographic variation in marriage and divorce. To help understand changes shaping families, and provide data useful for assessments of community health, this project amassed, assembled, and cleaned administrative marriage and divorce counts, including counts of same-sex marriages. Data have been harmonized spatiotemporally in a format to aid researchers in linking marriage and divorce data to other data sources by county, state, and year.
