He believes gay and lesbian couples in IA in 2000 probably were more likely to hide their relationships from census workers. Iowa\u2019s growth rate in same-sex couples in the past decade has outpaced the national growth rate in data examined so far, which is about 50 percent, Gates said. Iowa City is the top-ranked place in Iowa for same-sex couples, with 13.1 per 1,000 households. North Liberty, which is near Iowa City, is second and Des Moines third.<\/p>\n<p>via DesMoinesRegister.com<\/p>\n<div id=\"fb-root\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#appId=172516468500&amp;xfbml=1\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Census Bureau says the number of self-identified same-sex couples in Iowa rose dramatically between 2000 and 2010, up<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29,195],"tags":[509,216],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
