Marital Status

---

Notes:

• One of the more stable characteristics of Web users over the survey is marital status. Overall, 41.1% of the users are married, with 40.8% being single. The users whom reported living with another was 9.6% and those reporting begin divorced was 5.1%. Europeans were twice as likely to report living with another person (18.4%) compared to the US (8.0%). These percentages are almost exactly the same as in the Fourth Survey.
