Hawaii had the least divorces per capita, resulting in 11 out of every 1,000 marriages. Washington D.C. had the highest with a two-year streak of 30 divorces per 1,000.
The decline could result in less people getting married to begin with, however the rate of marriages has been fairly stable since 2010. Utah, the state with the highest amount of marriages at 61.3 per 1,000 women, has a fairly average divorce rate of 21 – much less than the fifty fifty success odds American weddings have been given in the past.
