A recent study done by the U.S. Census Bureau revealed that Black marriage rates in Amercia are DROPPING!
Black marriage now-a-days come few and far between. While 70 percent of black families were headed by married couples in 1963, by 2002, it was down to 48 percent. And sadly, the new statistics don’t show any signs of improvement. New data released by the U.S. Census Bureau paints a dreary picture about marriage in Black communities.
The report states:
(1) Forty-two percent of black adults have never been married, compared with just 26 percent of all American adults.
(2) By the time most black Americans reach their early 30s, half have never married, compared with 31 percent or less for other racial and ethnic groups.
(3) Black women ages 35 to 44 are the only group of American women of child-bearing age with lower rates of marriage than men of the same race or ethnicity.
(4) By their early 40s, 31 percent of black women have never been married, compared to 9 percent of white women, 11 percent of Asian women and 12 percent of Hispanic women
