of the 2020 decennial Census finds that same-sex couples live in every state. At the time of the Census, Washington, D.C. had the highest concentration of same-sex couples, with 26 couples per 1,000 households, followed by Delaware (13). North Dakota (4) and South Dakota (4) had the lowest rates.

Over half of cohabitating same-sex couples in nearly every state were married. The proportion of same-sex couples who were married was highest in Delaware (66%). Fewer than half of same-sex couples were married in only three states--Louisiana (49%), North Dakota (48%), and West Virginia (47%)--and Puerto Rico (33%).
