Going back a few years, I started hearing reports that marriage is on the decline and married couples are becoming the minority. This research is to get an idea of the actual number of married people in the United States and compare it to the total population and the total adult population.
The sources come from the US Census and Datacenter.
As of 2010, the United States total population was 309 million. The total amount of married couples, according to the census was 60,384,000. This brings the total amount of married people to roughly 121 million people.
As a percentage of married people to the total United States population, married people make up roughly 39% of the total United States population
As of 2010, the total United States adult population was 235 million people. Out of the total adult population, married people make up 51% of the total adult population.
Since 2010, I've heard that the trend for married couples is still going down.
