Colorado had one of the highest marriage rates of 2020
DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado weathered the nation’s pandemic marriage downturn higher than most.
The U.S. Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention launched provisional information this week on the nation’s marriage charges in 2020. The wedding fee sank 16% within the opening 12 months of the COVID pandemic. The nation had not seen so few marriages since 1963.
Colorado’s marriage fee sank as properly, but it surely had the Tenth-highest fee within the nation, with 6.7 marriages for each 1,000 folks.
Colorado’s marriage fee had been crawling upward by the late 2010s after a gradual decline from 1990. It was nearly 10 in 1990 earlier than sinking to six.5 by 2013.
The speed rebounded to 7.6 in 2018 earlier than sinking once more.
