Description
Families in America presents a wide selection of information from the American Community Survey that helps us describe American living arrangements, relationships, marriages, births, children, and incomes. Each section includes a large selection of information for the United States, the 50 states, and the District of Columbia. This is followed by a more limited selection of data for 381 metropolitan areas, 980 counties with populations of 50,000 or more, and 795 cities with populations of 50,000 or more. Families in America will include details about both family and nonfamily households and includes topics such as multi-generational households, same-sex partner households, grandchildren living with grandparents, and nonrelatives in family households. In addition, information related to age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, income, poverty, and health insurance for various household types is included.
