The marriage rate isn't different enough across these states to justify the argument of housing. In fact, most places where housing is cheapest isn't the place where marriage rates are higher than the national rate. Oregon and Washington outperform many southeastern states, in fact they surpass every southeastern state, according to the US census. And while N-E and CA do have a lower marriage rate, it isn't that much lower.
