Select iterations of this table are not produced in years after 2014.

Note: In some cases tables are incorrectly labeled as being based on the age of the householder; all estimates are based on the age of the individual. In years prior to 2019 estimates include individuals in unrelated subfamilies. Data users should exercise caution when interpreting these estimates and making comparisons across time periods.

The following table has been removed due to an error identified with previously released estimates:

Family Householder Divorced or Separated
