Ohioans are putting a ring on it
Nearly one-third of residents have been married at least once, as of 2022. Ohio's marriage rate is middle of the pack compared to the other 49 states, with just over 31% of Ohioans over 15 years old having married at least once in 2022, according to the American Community Survey. This is significant as June is a popular wedding month. Wyoming has the highest marriage rate with 34.6% of residents, followed by Rhode Island at 28.5%. Despite this, data shows that Americans are delaying or delaying marriage, with the marriage rate over the last 50 years dropping by nearly 60%, and divorce is now more accepted in the U.S. Separately, more Americans are living alone due to an isolation and loneliness crisis.

Just over 31% of Ohioans over 15 years old have tied the knot at least once as of 2022, American Community Survey data shows. Why it matters: June is a popular wedding month and plenty of Ohioans might be adding to that statistic in the coming weeks.
State of play: Ohio's marriage rate is middle of the pack compared to the other 49 states.
• Wyoming has the highest with 34.6% of residents that have gotten married, with Rhode Island last at 28.5%. Maybe it's too small for residents to find a suitable partner.
The big picture: Though marital status is a strong predictor of economic well being, data shows Americans are forgoing or delaying marriage.
• The marriage rate over the last 50 years dropped by nearly 60%, and divorce is now more widely accepted in the U.S.
• Separately, more Americans are living alone, as the country faces an isolation and loneliness crisis.
