Feb 21, 2025 by FACT

In a new ranking system created by the Center for Christian Virtue and the Institute for Family Studies called the Family Structure Index, Tennessee ranked 20th for the strongest family culture in the country. The Index is a measure of the most important family structure trends in the US, focusing on each state’s share of adult residents who are married, have children, and raise those children together through their high school years. Index scores higher than 60 indicate that the state is above the national average in at least one of the components. Tennessee must do better, as we barely rose above the norm with an Index score of 62.8, signaling that our state has serious work to do when it comes to creating a pro-family culture.
