A new report from the Centers for Disease Control reveals the divorce rates by states.
The list is based on divorces per 1,000 total population.
Topping the list is Nevada, with a 4.4 divorce rate, but that could be because, thanks to Las Vegas, it’s historically been one of the best places for not only a quickie marriage, but a quickie divorce.
Nine States With The Highest Divorce Rates
- Nevada (4.4)
- Arkansas (4.1)
- Idaho (3.8)
- Oklahoma (3.8)
- Utah (3.8)
- Wyoming (3.8)
- Alabama (3.7)

- LA (1.7)
- MA (2.1)
- IA (2.2)
