Sampling Variability of the Marriage Statistics
The following statement is essential to understanding the limitations and uses of the small numbers in the tables which present statistics based on data from probability samples of marriage records. The headnote to each such table includes "Based on sample data."
Sampling errors for statistics from the marriage-registration area and each registration State a re shown in table 4-7 in the Technical Appendix. In order to reflect more clearly the general patterns of relationships and to retain the convenience of numbers which add to marginal totals, data tables contain some individual small numbers which convey very limited information be- cause the sampling error is so large. It is suggested that for any number less than those shown in the column "Minimum useful statistic" the interpretation be simply l'small'l rather than any more precise value.
Minimum useful

1,000 200

100 100 200 100
10 200 200
10 200 10
The rule for selection of these minimum useful statistics is based on an argument that for statistics as small as 1 percent of the total for a State, a relative error of up to about 60 percent can be tolerated with 95 percent confidence. This is a "central tendency rule" and there will, of course, be some deviation from it. Further, the figures shown were rounded because of somewhat greater convenience in presenting and interpreting the minimum useful number.

Sampling Variability of the Divorce Statistics
The following statement is essential to understanding the limitations and uses of the small numbers in the tables which present statistics based on data from probability samples of divorce records. The headnote to each such table includes "Based on sample data."
Sampling errors for statistics from the divorce-registration area and each registration State are shown in table 4-8 in the Technical Appendix. In order to reflect more clearly the general patterns of relationships and to retain the convenience of numbers which add to marginal totals, data tables contain some individual small numbers which convey very limited information be- cause the sampling error is so large. It is suggested that for any number less than those shown in the column "Minimum useful statistic" the interpretation be simply "small'; rather than any more precise value.

The rule for selection of these minimum useful statistics is based on an argument that for statistics as small as 1 percent of the total for a State, a relative error of up to about 60 percent can be tolerated with 95 percent confidence. This is a "central tendency rule" and there will, of course, be some deviation from it. Further, the figures shown were rounded because of somewhat greater convenience in presenting and interpreting the minimum useful number.

INTRODUCTION In 1962, two methods were used to collect statistics on
marriages and divorces (or annulments). Total numbers of marriages and divorces €or States andcounties are complete counts provided by State and local officials in all parts of the United states. Data on the characteristics of these events and the persons involved in them, however, are based on samples of marriage anddivorce records from%he marriage- and divorce-registration areas. Marriage totals by month of occurrence were secured by both methods. Sources of marriage and divorce data since 1867 are shown in table 4-1; a description of these sources can be found in Section 7, Volume III, of VztcllStaiisfics of the United States, 1960.
M#mhge-aad- - txatio&areas In order to promote regular, tkne€y, and complete re-
porting, marriage- and divorce-registration areas similar bo thee dewdoped for the collection of natality and mortal- ity statistics were established in 1957 and 1958, respectively. 'Ihe areas consis€ of ttvrse states and independent registra- tion areas tba~ meet the following criteria:
1. 2.
3. 4.
Central files of marriage or divorce records A statistical report form that iacludes itemsconforming closely to those as the Standard Recordof Marriage (fig. 4-1) or the Standard Record of Divorce or Annulment
Regular and timely reporting byal l loca la reas Agreemsnt 811 tests ob marriage or divorce registration oorrrpletaness and accuracy, carded out in cooperatian with the NatianaL Vital Statistics Division (NVSD)
(fig. 4-2)
Table 4-2 shows when central files were established and when the States and independent areas began participa- ting in the registratim areas. Figures 4-3 and 4-4 indicate the areas participating in the marriage-registration area (MRA) and the divorce-registration area (DRA) in 1%2 a s well as those maintaining central files of records of mar- riage and of divorce or armulment bur not included in the registration areas. In 1%2,35 States were in the MRA, the same number as in 1%1, and 21 in the DRA, Ohio having been added; in addition, the District of Columbia, New Or- leans, and Puerto Rico were included in the MRA and the Virgin islands in both the MRA and the DRA. In 1962, mar- riages in the MRA represented 62.2 percent of the national total, about che same percent as in 1961; comparable per- centages for the DRA are 35.6 for 1962 and 30.2 for 1961.
Statistics based on information f r a n records
In 1960, a probability sample program was initiatedfor collecting marriage and divorce statistics; for earlier years they were compiled from predesigned tables submitted by the States. The 1960 program was continued in 1961 and in 1962 with two modifications. 1. The 1961 and 1962 programs were limited tosamples
obtained from the MRA and DRA, whereas the 1960 pro- gram was nationwide and consisted of samples from the MRA, the DRA, and the remainder of the Nation. Hence national and regional statistics corresponding to those tabulated for 1960 are not available for 1%1 and 1%2.
2. Two States and the District of Columbia were admitted to the MRA and two States to the DRA in 1961. In 1%2, Ohio was added to the DRA.
The statistical tables for 1952 follow the same design as those for 1%1. However, the organization of the volume has been revised. Al l tables of marriage statistics except those Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands a re included in Section 1, all tables of divorce statistics except those for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands a re in Section 2, tables of both kinds of statistics for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Llands are in Section 3, and the Technical Appendix is Section 4.
. .
State and county totals
The complete counts of marriages and divorces and annulments for States and counties a re published in tables 1-35 and 2-22 and State totals in tables 1-4, 2-2, and 2-3. Marriage and divorce totals by local areas for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are published in table 3-2, Section 3. Marriage totals by month of Occurrence are shown for all States in table 1-15, Section 1. The State andareatotals shown in these tables differ slightly from estimated totals based on the samples for the same Statesshown in all other tables in this report.
County totals of marriages reported from 43 Statesand the District of Columbia were based on data available in central files. In the seven States and New York City lacking central files, surveys were conducted. This was done by State officials in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington and by the city clerk in New York City. Colorado county officials reported totals to NVSD on a monthly basis.

Annual marriage totals were obtained for 3,110 counties or equivalent areas of the United States. The annual mar- riage total for the United States is the sum of these figures. No figures were obtained for five counties.
The number of marriages performed was reported for 46 States. The number of marriage licenses issued was re- ported for Arkansas, Colorado, Kentucky, Nevada, and the District of Columbia as well as for 13 counties in other States. The number of marriage licenses is usually larger by 1 or 2 percent than the number of marriages performed. (See page 2-1, Section 2, Volume I, Vital Statistics .of the United States, 1959.)
Data on divorces and annulments were received from State officials of 49 States and the District of Columbia. In 1962, 11 States did not maintain central files of divorce rec- ords (Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Washington, and West Virginia). In these States, State officials- conducted special surveys to obtain county totals. Data for Colorado, for some counties of Kentucky, Missouri, and New Mexico, and for some parishes of Louisiana were obtained from surveys of local officials conducted by NVSD. Annual divorce and annulment totals were obtained for 3,090 counties or equiv- alent local areas of the United States; no totals were ob- tained for 25 counties. County data were received from the

United States was prepared from the State totals; estimates for the nonreporting parishes of Louisiana were included in the national figure. These estimates were based on the as- sumption that the divorce rate in the nonreporting areas of this State was identical with that for the reporting areas,

Characteristics for which data were obtained
All variables included in the 1962 tabulations appear on the marriage and divorce or annulment record forms of all the registration States with the few exceptions indicated in tables 4-3 and 4-4.
Of the 36 forms used in the marriage-registration area in 1962, 29 specified the county where the marriage was per- formed and 34 the city or town.
Estimates of numbers of civil and religious ceremonies were made chiefly by distinguishing between officiants who were clergymen and chose who were civil officials. These data were not requested on the forms of Ohio or Kentucky, but they were often reported by Kentucky because the name of the person performing the ceremony was requested on the Kentucky records.

Among characteristics of the bride and groom, age at marriage or date of birth and State of residence were on the record forms of all registration States. Some data about the previous marital history of the bride and groom were also available from all MRA States. However, the record forms of Ohio and Michigan included only information about the number of previous marriages of each person and not about marital status before the marriage. On the other hand, neither the number of thh marriage nor of previous mar- riages appeared on the forms of four I R A States (Idaho, Kansas, Maryland, and Oregon). Despite these variations in the records, marriage order (first marriage or remarriage) could be determined for all MRA States.
Items tabulated for divorces were found on the record forms of States included in the DRA with only five excep- tions: Kansas requested no data on residence of husband and wife; Nebraska and Virginia requested no data on number of times parties to the divorce had been married; Nebraska requested no data on party to whom decree was granted; and Ohio requested no data on color. The variables on all records in the DRA were date and place where the decree was granted, age or date of birth, date and place of mar- riage (date of marriage was used for computing duration of marriage to decree), the number of children involved, legal grounds for the decree, and which party was the plaintiff.
Several additional items are found on the marriage and the divorce forms of a number of States. These include birth- place, occupation, residential address, religion, and last grade of school completed. Some marriage forms include one or two items about the parents of the bride and the groom. Several divorce reporting forms include data about such legal matters as the contesting of the initial action, custody of children, and arrangements for financial support. None of these items were tabulated for 1962.
DESIGN OF THE SAMPLES Information about the structure of the samples is shown
in table 4-5. The marriage sample was designed to,yield estimates of area totals as well as frequency distributions and estimates of their parameters. These estimates were made for the marriage-registration area and for each State in the registration area.
Maximum tolerable sampling errors were defined in terms of one standard error ( u ) and were specified for each of the percentages shown in table 4-6. Samples for each registration State, as well as for eachregistration area as a whole, were designed so that sampling errors would not exceed the entries (percentage points) in table 4-6. For example, the sampling error for an estimate of 5 percent

VIRCIN ISLANDS - was not toexceed 1.1 percentage points in any marriage- or divorce-registration State. This means that in approximately two of three samples of a given size the percent would be in the interval 3.9 to 6.1 percent (5 percentplus and minus the maximum sampling error tolerance of 1.1 percentage points).
A sampling rate was selected for each State so that the resulting sample would be at least400records, the minimum number required to secure estimates having less than pre- designated maximum sampling errors (tabie 4-6). Only four different sampling rates were designated for the States in the marriage-registration area-all records, 1/10, 1/20, and 1/100. While each State's records were sampled inde- pendently, in computing sampling errors each of the four groups of States with a uniform sampling rate was treated as a stratum. Estimated sampling errors using these four groups as strata are likely to be somewhatlarger than those that might have been computedusingeachstate a s a stratum; hence, the sampling errors presented here very probably have an extra safety margin.
Sampling procedures in the divorce sample parallel those for the marriage sample except that the sampling rates in each stratum (shown intable4-5)were much larger than corresponding rates in the marriage sample-all rec- ords, 1/2, 1/10, and 1/20-in order tosecure a minimum of 400 sample records from each State in the DRA.
COLLECTING AND PROCESSING SAMPLE DATA
Agreements specifying procedures for selecting sample records and payments to be made by NVSD were arranged for each reporting area. For marriages, the records to be sampled referred to all marriages performed during 1962 irrespective of the date of issue or date of filing of the li- cense. For divorces, the records to be sampled referred to all annulments and absolute decrees of divorce that were granted during 1962 except for Utah, where they referred to decrees that became final during the year. In States where interlocutory divorce decrees are granted, those granted during the later part of 1962 became final in 1963 and those granted late in 1961 became final in 1962. It is possible that some interlocutory decrees never become final because of death or reconciliation, but it is believed that the number of such cases is very small. In all these States except Utah divorce records are filed in the State office of vital sta- tistics when decrees a re granted and not when they become final. In most cases suchdecrees become final automatically after the lapse of a certain period of time.
The following variables were tabulated from returns of sample marriage records of States in the MRA: month of marriage, age, color, marital status, number of this mar-

riage, county and State of residence of bride and of groom, and type of ceremony performed. The basic items for di- vorce were age, color, marriage order, residence of hus- band and of wife, place and duration of the marriage, and the number of children in the family being dissolved. Legal items classifying the party who was the plaintiff, the person to whom the decree was granted, and the legal grounds for the decree were also tabulated.
The table plans for 1962'are the same as those for 1961. Several of the tabulations are less detailed than those pre- pared from pretabulated reports from the States in 1959 and preceding years. Because of high proportions of missing responses for the personal items on divorce records, it is not feasible to publish the divorce statistics (Section 2) in as much detail as the marriage statistics (Section 1).
In the tables for marriages great emphasis is given to the comparisons of variations in age at marriage for the marriage-registration area among such subgroups as white and nonwhite persons and single, widowed, and divorced brides and grooms. In addition the distributions of several variables, such as residence and marriage order, are shown for each registration State.
The tables for divorces feature detailed analyses of variations in duration of the marriage dissolvedandin num- ber of children involved. These are critical variables-the
first as an index of marital andfamilystability and the sec- ond as part of an estimate of the number of persons affected by the dissolutions of these marriages. The other demo- graphic items were tabulated in broad categories only.
ESTIMATING PROCEDURES
Area totals Before data were tabulated and statistics estimated,
adjustments were made in order to reconcile totals esti- mated from samples received with pretabulated counts for each reporting area. The procedures were as follows:
Marriages.-No adjustment was made for a State in which the complete count and the sample estimate differed by 1 percent or less. A difference of more than 1 percent was found for one State, Kentucky, where the number of sample records was short. The estimated total for this State is footnoted as incomplete in all tables giving detailed marriage statistics.
Divorces.-Adjustments were made if the pretabulated count for a reporting State differed from the estimated total based on the sample by more than 1 percent. It was found that the samples from three States (Nebraska, Utah, and Wisconsin) were short 170 records, representing 420 events,
4 -8 SECTION 4 - MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES
less than 1 percent of the divorce total of 147,106 for all registration States combined. In all detailed divorce tables, the number of "not stated" cases was increased for those three States in order to bring their totals up to figures representing complete samples.
Frequencies
Procedures for estimating frequency distributions for various characteristics were similar for the marriage and divorce samples. Frequencies were estimated in two steps:
1. Each sample case, and all items tabulated for that case, was assigned a weight which was the reciprocal of the probability (or sampling ratio) used to select the case. Thus if a marriage record was selected from aState with a probability of 1/100, each item on that record was multiplied by 100, whereas if 100 percent of the records w e r e processed from a State, each item on eachsuch record was multiplied by 1.
2. Frequencies were estimated by summing the inflated numbers of cases instead of tabulating the number of sample cases. Thus each frequency distribution, suchas age at marriage of first-married brides, is asum of the weighted sample cases included.
It should be noted that the weights for all sample records are identical within each registration-area State. However, as shown in table 4-5, the weights forindividual MRA States vary from 1 to 100 and those for the DRA States vary from 1 to 20. Therefore, insofar as any given subtotal is composed of unique proportions of weighted cases from the various States, the sampling error for each subtotal will be unique. This means that any two approximately equal subtotals may have different sampling errors.
Percents and rates
Percents in the analytical tables were computed from ., data excluding numbers of not stated cases. All rates ap-
::pearing in the analytical tables were based on populations -'from the U.S. Bureau of the Census. These are populations estimated as of July 1, 1962, present in the area and in- cluding Armed Forces stationed in the area but excluding Armed Forces abroad.
Children involved in divorces
Procedures for estimating the number of children re- ported in divorce suits presented a special problem. The number of children was estimated for each registration State, the DRA, and the United States. In order to obtain a State total, the category "children not stated" was first distributed in accordance with the distribution of divorces by number of children reported. Then the number of divorces in each category with a given number of children was mul- tiplied by the number of children per divorce (that is , the number of divorces involving one child was multiplied by 1, the number involving two children was multiplied by 2, etc.). The sum of the products is the estimate of the number
of children of divorced parents in a given registration State, and the sum of State estimates for participating States is the estimate for the DRA. The national estimate was ob- tained by multiplying the combined estimates for 14 of the DRA States by the ratio of the 1960 national estimate of children based on the nationwide sample and the comparable figure for the 14 States combined. The ratio is 5.40039, and the 14 States are Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Data for these States were used because the other 4 States that partici- pated in the DFU in 1960 were either not representative of the United States or had a very high proportion of divorces with the number of children not stated.
SAMPLING ERRORS
Each estimate computed from samples, except sta- tistics for States where the sample includes all records, has a sampling error ( u ). Since all cases in these samples were selected with known probabilities, this sampling error can be computed for each estimate. Each sampling error shown in tables 4-7 and 4-8 is the amount which, when added to and subtracted from the estimated frequency or percent, gives the interval within which the actual quantity being es- timated would lie in approximately two out of three samples of equal size. For example, if the sample estimate of the number of wives under 20 years of age at the time o$di- voice in 1962 is 100,000, and if the sampling error for this estimate is 2,118, the probability is about 2/3 that this sample estimate is within 2,118 of the true total and about 95/100 that this estimate is within two sampling errors (4,236) of the true total.
In order to facilitate comparisons of sampling errors between registration States with widely varying totals of marriages or divorces, the sampling errors are shown for frequencies expressed a s percents of State or registration area totals. Sampling errors for frequencies equal in size are markedly larger for the MRA than for the DRA. This greater precision of estimates for the DRA results from the much larger sampling rates of 1/2, 1/10, and 1/20 for strata 2, 3, and 4 than the rates of lL10, 1/20, and 1/100 for equivalent strata in the MRA sample. The sampling error for the estimated percent corresponding to each fre- quency can be computedby dividing the sampling error shown for the frequency by the total number of events reported for the area. A s an example of the procedures described above for the States and registration areas, suppose the number of nonwhite marriages in California to be 11,290, or 10 percent of the total for the State. The error shown in table 4-7 for this frequency is 1,003. By adding and subtracting 1,003 from 11,290, we obtain the interval 10,287 to 12,293; the chances are about 68 out of 100 that the actual number of ~
nonwhite marriages is in this interval. In order to obtain the sampling error for 10 percent itself, ,divide 1,003 by the State total, 112,900, with a resulting sampling errqr of 0.9 percent. Thus the chances are about 68 out of 100 that the
SECTION 4 - MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES 4-9
actual percent of nonwhite marriages in California falls between 9.1 and 10.9.
The standard error of a proportion in a subgroup of a subtotal-say, the proportion of nonwhite marriages in the age group 15-19 years-may be estimated from theformula
(.49 - .45) = 1.1
q(.024)2 i- (.027)'
This value is less than 2; therefore the difference between the two proportions may well have been due tochance.
pv is the proportion the denominator is of the total mar- riages of the State. &is the proportion the numerator is of the State total. Sy* is the standard error of the denomi- nator, and S,I is the standard error of the numerator. N is the total number of marriages for the State. Use of this equation can be best illustrated by an example. Suppose for the State of Alabama that 45 percent of the marriages of nonwhite brides from the sample fell into the age group 15- 19 years and we want to approximate the standard error of this proportion. Suppose also that the estimated number of nonwhite marriages for the entire State was 8,000 and that the number falling into the agegroup 15-19years was 3,600. Eight thousand marriages is close to 25 percent (P,), and 3,600 is close to 10 percent (P,) of the 33,660 (N) marriages in Alabama during 1962. From table 4-7 we find that for Alabama the standard error of 8,000 is 336 (Sy*) and of 3,600 is 240 (SJ. Substituting these values into the formula we obtain
d(.25)' (240)' - (.lo)' (336)'
(25)' (33,660) s,; - .024
Therefore the chances are about 68 in 100 that the true pro- portion is between .426 and .474.
To determine if two proportions are significantly dif- ferent, divide the difference by the square root of the sum of the squares of their standard errors. If the quotient of this division is greater than 2, then the probability that the dif- ference is due to chance is less than 1 in 20.' (The figure 2 is the rounded value of "Student's" f at the 5-percent level of significance for the hypothesis that the difference between the two estimates is zero when samples are large, i.e., containing 60 or more cases.) To illustrate, suppose we wish to compare the proportion of nonwhite mar- riages in the 15-19 age group for the two States of Alabama and Louisiana. Assume that the proportions were 45 per- cent with standard error .024 for Alabama and 49 percent with standard error .027 for Louisiana. Division of the dif- ference by the square root of the sum of the squares of the standard errors gives us

COMPLETENESS OF THE DATA
Among the various factors which produce errors in the 1962 marriage and divorce statistics, incompleteness of reporting is one of the most important. It is the one fac- tor for which detailed and complete estimates are available. Table 4-9 (marriages) and tables 2-10 through 2-21 in Sec- tion 2 (divorces and annulments) show the numbers of cases with various characteristics not stated because of incom- pleteness of returns of sample records, because of items missing from State record forms, and because of data not reported on individual sample records.
An important quality check involves the comparison of the complete count of events reported by a State with the estimate of the number of events based on the sample. If these two estimates differed by more than 1 percent, an attempt was made to reconcile the difference. In most in- stances this involved querying State officials, but in several cases it was found that some records such as unused mar- riage licenses, duplicates, and divorce decrees which were not absolute had been included in the samples or in the re- ported totals or in both. This querying was a marked aid in improving the accuracy of the pretabulated totals and of the samples.
On the basis of these checks i t is estimated that mar- riage records were not received for 0.3 percentof all mar- riages in the MRA. Among the States in the sample, the largest proportion of records not received was for Kentucky (10 percent).
For the DRA, the sample records were not received for 0.i percent of all divorces. The samples from three States were short-5.5 percent of the decrees granted in Utah were not received, 1.0 percent of those in Nebraska, and 0.2 percent of those in Wisconsin.
The principal reason for incompleteness of reporting various characteristics for marriages is the absence of specific items on the marriage records. For example, the fact that reporting color or race was not required on the marriage forms for Ohio, California, and New Jersey re- sults in this item not being available for 23 percent of the marriages in the MRA. Incompleteness of reporting of this item in other MRA States adds less than 1 percent to the total proportion not reporting race or color. Similar situa- tions exist in various States for the reporting of number of present marriage, marital status, and type of ceremony. Responses to these items are nearly complete in the areas that request them, but the items have not been standardized on the marriage records of enough reporting areas.
The principal source of incompleteness in the 1962 di- vorce statistics is the failure to get key items of personal and demographic data in several States even when these
4- 10 SECTION 4 - MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES
items are on the record forms. q e proportion of records not stating age at decree varies among the 21 DRA States from less than 1 to 97 percent; for race or color, the cor- responding range is from 0 to 80 percent; for marriage order, the analogous range among DRA States having this item is from less than 1 to 96percent; for duration of mar- riage, the range is 0 to 21 percent; and for number of chil-
