THE ANNUAL REPORT ON
FAMILY TRENDS: 2011
Introduction
The Annual Report on Family Trends brings together in one place the trendline data on family issues. In almost all cases, the
data is drawn from original federal government data.
Though the U.S. Census Bureau’s annual Statistical Abstract of the United States is a wonderful product, the annual edition does
not go back far enough to give the long-term view on most trendlines. Furthermore the federal data system is rather difficult for
the layman (and even for the demographic scholar) to navigate. Through this publication, we hope to remedy this situation and
make available data that are not easily accessible for most laymen.
The Annual Report is designed to inform the reader about the American family in its current state, including its behaviors in the
five major institutions (five major tasks) of society: family, church, school, marketplace, and government. It is in these institutions
that the next generation is born and raised; learns and applies transcendent truths; studies and is taught; where goods and
services are produced and traded to meet physical needs; and where society applies physical force when necessary for the
common good, the general welfare. We have also included trendline data on health. Even though it is not a basic institution (that
is, essential to society’s ability to function), it is a major secondary institution, an emerging significant individual, family and social
benefit.
This first edition starts with about one third of the full dataset that we will eventually provide. Completing this task will take
another two years. Next year (2012), we will provide an expanded set of trendlines, as well as an update on those provided in
this first edition. By 2013, we hope to have a complete range of family-related trendlines. Thereafter, we intend to issue an
updated Report annually.
We hope that this contribution from the Marriage and Religion Research Institute of the Family Research Council will be useful
for all who are interested in the state of the family and how we as a nation conduct our family life.

These data can be divided into two broad categories. Within the Report, fundamentally positive data consist of conceptions,
births, adoptions, and marriages. From these gifts all other demographic goods flow. The fundamentally negative data consist of
abortions, separations of parents, divorces, death in its myriad forms, violence, abuse, theft, and addictions, to name but a few.
This edition of the Report is divided into nine sections, each devoted to a different set of demographic data: population,
reproduction, abortion, family structure, religion, education, income, crime, and health.
Section one looks at overall population data when viewed through different lenses (age, sex, and race/ethnicity).
Section two illustrates different categories of births, birth rates and fertility rates. It also looks at rates of activities that affect
these rates: sexual activity, conception, contraception, and fertility rates.
Section three deals solely with abortion in its different dimensions.
Section four illustrates the different arrangements of the fundamental institution of the family in its intactness (marriage and
adoption) and its fractured-ness or rearrangements (divorce, single-parent families, and other living arrangements).
Thereafter, in sections five, six, seven, and eight, the Report looks at the other basic institutions of religion, education,
marketplace and government (under one of its purviews, crime).
Section nine, the last section, looks at health and mental health trendlines.
We look forward to providing you with an expanded edition next year and a complete edition in 2013.

Editor’s Notes:
• In some charts organized by specified race/ethnicity, due to the organization of U.S. Census racial categories, Hispanic individuals
are represented twice: first, by their ethnicity, on the “Hispanic” trendline, and second, by their race, usually on the “Black” or “White”
trendlines. This is because the U.S. Census Bureau considers “Hispanic” to be an ethnic, not a racial, category.
• The murders and non-negligent homicides that occurred as a result of the events of September 11, 2001, are not included in the charts
tracking murder and non-negligent homicide numbers and rates.

The U.S. Index of Belonging

and Rejection
The Index uses data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS). The large national sample
allows for accurate estimates of the health of American families at the county, state and national level. The intactness of
family life for American teenagers varies across states and regions in association with average parent education, family
income levels and the ethnic composition of the state or region. The following 3 charts are from a larger report, “The U.S.
Index of Belonging and Rejection,” (http://www.frc.org/booklet/index-of-belonging-and-rejection) published by MARRI FRC
in December 2010.
