America’s Families and Living Arrangements: 2000
America’s Families and Living Arrangements: 2000
Report Number P20-537
Since 1970, the composition of households and families and the marital status and living arrangements of adults in the United States both experienced marked changes. For example, the proportion of the population made up by married couples with children decreased, and the proportion of single mothers increased, while the median age at first marriage grew over time. Much of this variety has been regularly reported in two separate Census Bureau reports — Household and Family Characteristics and Marital Status and Living Arrangements. 1Beginning with the March 2000 Current Population Survey, these two reports are being replaced by this new publication, America’s Families and Living Arrangements.2
