Intermarriage

High intermarriage rates and declining immigration are changing how some Americans with Hispanic ancestry see their identity. Most U.S. adults with Hispanic ancestry self-identify as Hispanic, but 11%, or 5 million, do not.

Intermarriage has increased steadily since the 1967 Loving v. Virginia ruling. Here are more key findings about interracial and interethnic marriage and families.

One-in-seven U.S. infants were multiracial or multiethnic in 2015, nearly triple the share in 1980.

One-in-six newlyweds (17%) were married to someone of a different race or ethnicity in 2015, representing a more than fivefold increase from 3% in 1967.

In 2015, 17% of all U.S. newlyweds had a spouse of a different race or ethnicity, marking more than a fivefold increase since 1967, when the landmark Supreme Court case legalized interracial marriage.

The share of newlyweds married to someone of a different race or ethnicity has been steadily climbing in the United States.

Many married adults point to several factors as bigger keys to a successful marriage than shared religious beliefs.

Roughly one-in-five U.S. adults were raised with a mixed religious background, according to a new Pew Research Center study.

The nation’s largest annual demography conference, the Population Association of America meeting, featured new research on topics including couples who live in separate homes, children of multiracial couples, transgender Americans, immigration law enforcement and how climate change affects migration.

When it comes to marriage, Israelis rarely cross religious lines.
