Divorce Rates in Louisiana: An Outlier in the Nation
New Census Data reveals that Louisiana has one of the highest divorce rates in the country, contrary to the national trend.
Nationally, divorce is becoming less common, with a 28% drop in divorce rates between 2012 and 2022, according to the Census Bureau.
However, Louisiana is an outlier, with high divorce rates despite the national decline.
The state's high STI rates and a "sex recession" may be contributing factors to the high divorce rates.
