April 1 (UPI) -- A new survey from the U.S. Census Bureau showed there were 1.4 million same-sex couple households in the United States in 2024, and female same-sex households outnumbered male.
The share of same-sex couple households increased to about 1% of all in 2024, and about 0.6% were married and 0.4% were unmarried households.
The latest release uses American Community Survey one-year estimates for 2005 to 2024, leaving out 2020 because of the effects of COVID-19.
The U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage on June 26, 2015, though 37 states legalized it earlier. The first, Massachusetts, made it legal in 2004.
