It’s no secret that the U.S. has high divorce rates. The team at LLCAttorney.com researched and created a graphic determining which cities have the highest and lowest divorce rates. Their data is based on 1-year estimates of marital status from the 2022 U.S. Census Bureau reports.

The city with the highest divorce rate was Medford, Oregon. Divorcees make up 15.8% of the population in this city, the highest rate in the nation. The Medford metro area is the fourth biggest in the state of Oregon. Close behind Medford was the city of Dothan, Alabama, which had a divorce rate of 15.1%. Overall, these were the cities with the highest divorce rates: 

• Medford, OR: 15.8% 
• Dothan, AL: 15.1% 
• Fort Smith, AR-OK: 15.1% 
• Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, FL: 15.0% 
• Bangor, ME: 14.9% 
• Charleston, WV 14.9% 
• Pueblo, CO: 14.7% 
• Texarkana, TX-AR: 14.7% 
• Jackson, MI: 14.6% 
• Kingsport-Bristol, TN-VA: 14.6% 

The team studied low divorce rates as well and discovered that the area encompassing Provo and Orem had the lowest divorce rates in the nation. There’s a high concentration of Mormons living there, members of a religion that discourages divorce.
