Wisconsin's 2015 Marriage Magnet and Divorce Destination

WISCONSIN -- More people were married and divorced in Milwaukee County than any other county in Wisconsin in 2015, according to a Wisconsin Department of Health Services official report.

While that's easy to predict - Milwaukee is Wisconsin's most populous county after all - we dug a little deeper into the data to answer the following question: Where in Wisconsin is the marriage-to-divorce ratio the highest, and where is it the lowest?

We found the county with the highest divorce-to-marriage ratio was Marquette County, where there was nearly 1 divorce for every marriage. Kenosha and Washington counties were next, and averaged only 1.4 marriages per divorce in 2015.

By contrast, Menominee saw 23 marriages for every divorce - although you have to take into account a small sample size. Door county was Wisconsin's marriage magnet in 2015, seeing more than 5 marriages per divorce last year.
