Negative Factors That Affect Divorce Rate

There are regions in Virginia which house certain risk factors such as poor economic opportunities, leading to a higher risk for having financial issues, which in turn will add stress on a marriage. Financial troubles are one of the most common reasons for a divorce.

Data taken from the 2014-2018 Community Survey, shows Virginia has a 5% divorce rate. This is pretty good news for prospective life partners as the national average is just under 11%.
