Sure - but good luck untangling the various factors because urban environments are almost always Democrat (blue) and rural environments are almost always Republican (red).

By large margins.

Maybe folks have to move to rural areas after a divorce because they’re broke, for instance. Or older people tend to stay in conservative areas, and younger ones move to the cities, and older folks are more likely to be divorced?

And since populations are mobile, maybe they got married in the blue (or red state) then moved and got divorced.

But if someone says ‘Conservatives have fewer divorces’, that really seems implausible considering the data.
