In Germany the difference between former East and West Germany is very interesting. While in the East it is roughly 55% in the west it is much lower, also with clear differences from north to south: https://www.iwd.de/artikel/unehelich-na-und-291746/
Honestly, that still sounds very high. I'm in the prime birthing age and hardly anyone in my peer group is married, yet many have kids.
That's anecdotal, sure, but it also implies that there's a huge population of married child bearers. Where are those?
