DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Even though marriage and divorce in the United States has been shifting, the vital statistics data infrastructure to accumulate and distribute marriage and divorce data has not kept pace. The deterioration and defunding of the marriage and divorce vital statistics systems means there is limited capacity to understand geographic variation in marriage and divorce. A limitation of the American Community Survey is that it cannot provide a single point estimate of marriage and divorce for all counties or county equivalents, and this is especially problematic in rural areas. There is no central depository of al county-level marriage and divorce data. The call for local area family data and assessments of data quality has come from several constituent groups. To begin to fill this critical gap, we propose to provide a data resource to the research community by generating a 2010 county-level marriage and divorce database. This comprehensive database will ensure inclusion of rural areas. The secondary goals are to analyze change in county-level marriage and divorce from 2000 to 2010, assess the quality of ACS data in counties where county-level data are available, and examine spatial variation in patterns of marriage and divorce by linking additional county level data. This innovative project fits squarely with the PDB mission to enhance knowledge and data availability on families and households. The application is consistent with the purpose of the R03 mechanism and will offer a resource to a multidisciplinary set of researchers.

描述(申请人提供)：尽管美国的结婚和离婚一直在变化，但积累和分发结婚和离婚数据的重要统计数据基础设施并没有跟上步伐。婚姻和离婚重要统计系统的恶化和资金短缺意味着了解结婚和离婚的地理差异的能力有限。美国社区调查的一个局限性是，它不能提供所有县或相当于县的结婚和离婚的单点估计，这在农村地区尤其成问题。没有县级婚姻和离婚数据的中央储存库。对当地家庭数据和数据质量评估的呼吁来自几个组成集团。为了开始填补这一关键空白，我们建议通过生成2010年县级婚姻和离婚数据库向研究界提供数据资源。这个全面的数据库将确保将农村地区包括在内。次要目标是分析2000至2010年间县级结婚和离婚的变化，评估可获得县级数据的县的ACS数据的质量，并通过连接其他 县级数据。这一创新项目完全符合PDB的使命，即提高家庭和家庭的知识和数据可用性。该申请与R03机制的目的一致，并将为一组多学科的研究人员提供资源。
