family

People are waiting longer to have kids or not having kids at all, which leads to more dual income households with no kids.

I looked at the percentages of people with a given number of kids in the family and the order they were born.

In the 1970s, the most common household type in the U.S. was a married couple with kids. Things are different now.

When you have a big family, it’s a challenge to figure out how everyone is related. So here are some charts to help you figure it out.

Nuclear is still the most common, but there are millions of households in the United States with a different family structure.

For every family get-together I go to, it seems there are more kids running around. I know that they are related to me somehow, but what do I call them? Maybe this chart will help next time.
