First Divorce Rate by Race, Ethnicity, and Nativity for Males and Females

In 2021, Black females and Black males experienced the highest first divorce rates (24.5 and 22.6, respectively).

Asian males and females had the lowest first divorce rates (7.7 and 8.3, respectively).
While most females had higher first divorce rates than their same race/ethnic male counterparts, this was not the case among those categorized as “Other,” for whom the first divorce rate for males was 16.4 and for females it was 14.6.

Native-born males and females have higher first divorce rates than their native counterparts (see Figure 4). This was the case for each racial/ethnic group examined, except among Black males for whom the first divorce rate of foreign-born males was higher than that of native-born males (25.7 versus 24.0, not shown).
