The US Bureau of Vital Statistics last estimate (from 2005) puts the divorce rate at: 0.38% per capita* or 0.76% per capita* (corrected). This "Per Capita" estimate includes non-married people as well however and gives a low number because non-married people do not get divorced / newer studies only offset new marriages against new divorces. The 'real' numbers are a lot higher: 40% to 43% of all marriages end in divorce per the last estimate by the US Census bureau (This estimate has been accepted by statistics as a truer representation than VS records).
