what is the percentage of people get divorce
Thatâs especially significant because half the married population is older than 50. In 1990, 1 in 10 persons who divorced was 50 or older. By 2011, according to the censusâs American Community Survey, more than 28 percent (more than 1 in 4) who said they divorced in the previous 12 months were 50 or older.
