You have no statistics? Unsurprising because there are no statistics supporting the claims you made based on anecdotes only. Of the many rabbonim I’ve dealt with, it has mostly been in places like Teaneck and Five Towns that are extremely dejected about the relatively high divorce rate in their communities. Communities that tend to marry later than communities such as Williamburg and Boro Park where the rabbonim are, too, concerned about whatever the rate is there but acknowledge it is nowhere near the levels seen in the former towns. Flatbush, which is in between those two groups, is closer to the Willi/BP rate but somewhat higher. Which, too, points in the direction of the point I have made.
