The Census Bureau takes a Current Population Survey every March. The statistics are from March 2008, the latest census results released.

It’s surprising to note the drastic difference between the percentage of people divorced and the percentage of people separated.

This entire divorce population isn’t represented because remarried divorcees file under the married marital status. The numbers also don’t include people who have never been married.
