Meet Bachelors On Farms Statistics Show Declining Singles
Washington reports a Bureau of Census study finds about one in three farm men of marriageable age are bachelors, compared with one in five city men. The share of single men fell from 26.2 percent in 1950 to 23.8 percent, while single women stayed near 19 percent on farms and cities. The shift reflects more service members and broader aging effects, with declines evident even among men over 35.
