报告摘要

In 2013, 40% of new marriages in the U.S. involved at least one partner who had been married before, reflecting a rising trend in remarriage.
The number of adults who have ever remarried has tripled since 1960, from 14 million to nearly 42 million, driven by increases in divorce and an aging population.
Remarriage is more common among older adults (e.g., 50% of adults aged 65+ in 2013 vs. 34% in 1960), while rates declined for younger generations.
Demographic trends show that men are more likely to remarry than women, but the gender gap has narrowed over time; whites and older adults also show higher remarriage rates.
Financially, remarried adults have better economic outcomes, with higher median incomes ($30,000 vs. $25,100 for divorced adults) and higher homeownership (79% vs. 58% for divorced adults).
Compared to first-married adults, remarried and divorced individuals have similar financial profiles, but divorced adults fare worse in income and poverty rates.
Education and race also play roles, with college graduates and whites more likely to remarry, and remarriage becoming more common among immigrants over time.
The report uses data from the U.S. Census and American Community Survey, covering trends from 1960 to 2013 and comparing different marital groups.
