Same-Sex Couples

About 1.2 million cohabitating same-sex couples are living in the U.S. More than half of them are married, and nearly one in five are raising their own children. We research the demographics and experiences of same-sex couples and analyze laws that impact them.

This interactive tool offers data on same-sex couples at the national, state, and county levels. Due to its size and complexity, it may take a moment to load.
