[GSS, US Census] - Marital Status By Race

Using the GSS, I created two charts illustrating marital status for females over time (from 1972 to 2012), broken down by year and by respondent's race. Using the US Census, I created eight charts illustrating marital status over time (from 1880 to 2012), broken down by year, by respondent's sex, and by respondent's race.

From the GSS:

For white female respondents aged 18-40, respondent's marital status (Are you currently -- married, widowed, divorced, separated, or have you never been married?):

For black female respondents aged 18-40, respondent's marital status:

For white female respondents aged 18-40, respondent's marital status:
