Colorado couples waiting for marriage

Colorado couples are tying the knot later in life.

By the numbers: The median age for getting married in Colorado is 29.7 — right on par with the national average of 29.8, according to 2024 census data.

The big picture: In 2010, the average age was two years younger, census figures show.

• That number has climbed as young adults delay traditional milestones.

Flashback: In 1950, the median age for first marriage was roughly 22.
