Table reports adjusted odds ratios from multivariable logistic model of divorce (prevalence or incidence) as function of age, race, sex, annual income, hours worked a week, years since became married in most recent marriage, and state and year fixed effects. Predicted values were calculated holding all covariates at their mean values. Divorce prevalence is percentage of individuals who reported having ever been divorced at time of survey. Annual divorce incidence is the percentage of individuals who divorced in year previous to survey and can be interpreted as annual divorce rate.
