It's probably best to mention that this is only for the US. As it is, it's not until someone gets all the way to the end of the page to realize that it's US data.

It's in english and it says there are 84 million families. Not guaranteed to be US national statistics but it would be a stellar guess.

Or any other country where English is a common language

The bigger clue is the number of families. ;)

There are several countries that have tens of millions of families so that's not really a clue

I know you're just being difficult but I truly believe I can help you. Look at this list of populous countries and tell me which ones could possibly have 84 million FAMILIES and primarily speaks English.
Hint: number 8 and higher wouldn't make the cut even if every single family was only two people.

All of them have English speakers. But even if they didn't, the article being in English isn't a clue as to the origin of the data. There are plenty of things on the internet written in English about countries that aren't the US.

Welp, I'm glad fathers ate getting custody for once. I can't believe the rate increased so fast.
