On the contrary, people who were divorced firstly rose from 1 million to its peak at 1.4 million in the first decade. Therefore, this figure moderately dropped back to its initial statistic at 1 million in 2000.

The second place was taken by those who were never married, as it accounted for 15% in 1970 and slightly grew to 20% in 2000.

Essay evaluation report
flaws:
1. Overall, throughout the surveyed period, the married population remained nearly twice the number of divorces
math like 'nearly twice' is not welcomed in IELTS, better:
There was a clear downward trend of people getting married in the US.
or we may say something exactly twice/double or %50 of something else.
2. why 'portion'?
First of all, 2.5 million residents in the USA were married in 1970. This portion kept stable...
it is 'number' in the first graph:
From 1970 to 1980, 2.5 million marriages were registered in America; however, this number kept stable...
3. better to change:
Therefore, this figure moderately dropped back to its initial statistic at 1 million in 2000. //it is not a conclusion
to:
However, this figure moderately dropped back to its initial statistic at 1 million in 2000.
