What is the divorce rate for your close friends' parents?

About 10 years ago it seemed that I was one of the few people I knew who had divorced parents, but now things have drastically changed.
I'd say about 80% of my good friends have parents who are divorced.

Of our core group of friends, all of their parents are still together.

I'd say 10% maybe less

5-10%

Less than 10% of my close friends before college. Maybe 40-50% of my college buddies have separated parents.

As an adult man, I don't have any "close friends". But of co-workers and people I see daily at the bar, I don't know anyone whose parents aren't divorced or widowed. Marriage just isn't meant to last that long.

3 sisters, 2 divorced
3 sisters in law all divorced

Its WAY lower than average, almost all of my friends parents are together. I didn't have any good friends I can think of with divorced parents as a kid.

Possibly you have a new set of friends today as opposed to ten years ago?

Growing up, I was pretty much the only one in my group of friends whose parents were divorced. College wasn't much different.
Seems like the older I get, the more prevalent it is among extended friends and colleagues. My parents and my wife's parents were both divorced, so there's that.

25% of my very closest friends have divorced parents.

Depends on if you are asking about friends whose parents are split or friends whose parents have ever been a party to a divorce.
Around 10% of my friends parents are no longer together, and at least twice that if you include situations where my friends parents are together but at least one of them was previously divorced (also one friend whose parents got divorced but then got remarried to each other).
