I take the observation to be that 60% of EAs over 45 have married, where we’d expect 85%.
FWIW, and without speaking for Jeff, for Denise and I the original observation was something like ‘percentage of people in nesting relationships around our age range (25-30) anecdotally seems sharply different in our EA versus similar-demographic non-EA circles’.
I consider religion a weak explanation for that, since we’re definitely counting cohabiting couples, but the observation is also less well-founded and I’m far from confident that it generalises across the community well.
