One state, one reported picture
These figures describe marriages counted in Georgia, not every Georgia resident who married somewhere else. The rate puts the annual count in relation to the state’s population, which makes it more useful for comparing one year with another.
The National Center for Health Statistics labels the rate data as provisional. For reporting, research, or publication, link to the specific source beside each statistic and note the data year.
