Immigration can impact the social makeup of a state's population, especially when it comes to factors like marriage, education, and language. The following charts give basic information about marriage rates and household characteristics in the United States.

The term native-born citizen refers to anyone born in the United States, Puerto Rico, or a U.S. territory or born abroad to citizen parents. The foreign-born population refers to "anyone who is not a U.S. citizen at birth," including naturalized citizens. Naturalized citizen refers to anyone born as a citizen of another country who fulfilled the requirements to become a U.S. citizen. Non-citizen refers to anyone residing in the U.S. who is not a citizen. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, "[n]oncitizens include legal permanent residents, temporary migrants, unauthorized immigrants and other resident statuses."[1][2][3]

Note: This page provides data from the American Community Survey (ACS), conducted annually by the United States Census Bureau, on demographics, economic factors, and social factors for the native, naturalized, and non-citizen populations. The ACS refers to immigrants, both naturalized citizens and non-citizens, as the "foreign-born population." The ACS defines those labeled as "non-citizens" as "respondents who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens at the time of the survey." The term "non-citizens" does not distinguish between those who are residing in the country with or without legal permission.[4]

Marital status

Zhenchao Qian, a sociology professor at Ohio State University, concluded in a paper from September 2013 that "immigrants regardless of educational attainment and race/ethnicity tend to be married at a higher percent, cohabit at a lower percent (except for Hispanic immigrants), divorce at a lower percent, and remarry at a lower percent compared with their U.S.-born counterparts."[5]

In 2014, about 48.4 percent of the population nationwide was married, while 13.1 percent was divorced or separated. About 32.5 percent of individuals were never married. Utah had the highest percentage of married individuals at 56.4 percent, while the District of Columbia had the smallest percentage at 26.4 percent. Among the non-citizen population, 54.5 percent was married while 9.3 percent was divorced or separated.[6]
