Abstract: Since 1960, the share of never married U.S. adults has doubled from 15% to 31% (Marino, 2023a). Likewise, the median age of never married adults has risen since 1970 (Marino, 2023b), and the percentage of never married middle-aged adults has increased drastically since 1970 (NCFMR analysis of 2021 American Community Survey 1-year estimates). These trends all point to a general pattern of an aging never married population. Using data from the 2021 American Community Survey 1-year estimates, this Family Profile details the percentage of midlife never married adults (ages 30-49) in the United States and how these percentages vary across states.
