Family size stabilizes after long decline in U S households
A Census Bureau report shows the average U S household contains 2.63 people, unchanged from the prior year and near 1989, signaling a halt in a 140 year downtrend. Baby boomers aging into family formation and economic factors keep households stable while fewer children are born. There were 94.3 million households, with more living with relatives and about 10.1 million single parent homes, and children present in about a third of homes.
