# Intermarriage: Trends and Attitudes

[Rates of intermarriage have risen i](https://www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2010/10/755-marrying-out.pdf)n the United States, but trends differ markedly for different race and ethnic groups, according to a new Pew Research Center report that makes extensive use of U.S. Census Bureau data. Among blacks and Asians, there also are notable variations by gender.

The new report also includes a discussion of geographic variations in intermarriage patterns, and an [interactive map](https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2010/06/04/interracial-marriage-map/) displays data for states and regions. The report also includes a section on public opinion about intermarriages.
