Popularization of grouped 18 to 30 graph and all it's misinterpretaions triggers me. 18 and 30 are quite different and people 18 today are different from 18 of 1980s. Life starts later, people are in education/training/non-full time-work-economic activity longer. Half the women single at 30 assuming most of them still wanna be not single is unfortuante though since it's getting closer to those last babymaking years.
I don't disagree. I don't set the standards though unfortunately. Also, the sample size for this survey isn't great, so more fine-grained analyses aren't always feasible.

That's why we are interested in these trends though, right? To see what effect these changes have had on various outcomes.
'Half the women single at 30'
The rate for them will be lower of course (about 30%) for the reason that you mentioned.

lol I just fell for the 18 to 30 trap myself there. thanks for checking and sharing the data
Spreadsheet Niggers should be flogged in the street.
Where did you get the data? I can't seem to find it on the website
I linked it at the start:
https://gss.norc.org/us/en/gss/get-the-data.html
What's the distribution? I mean how much 18-24 are single vs 25-29?
It'll be similar to what you can see here:
