Household size reaches historic low in U S census data
The Census Bureau reports American households averaged 2.64 people as of July 1, down from 5.28 in 1860, while total households surpass 90 million for the first time in 1987 due to a faster rise in housing units than population. The shift stems from changes in the nation's age structure. A separate State Department note says Morris Busby will visit Central America to discuss possible regional security talks involving the United States and Nicaragua, with timing and venue to be discussed in Costa Rica and neighboring countries.
