Projections of the Number of Households and Families

in the United States: 1995 to 2010

HIGHLIGHTS

x The number of households in the United States is

projected to increase during the next 15 years, reaching

103 million by the turn of the century and almost 115

million by 2010. However, the rate of household growth

during this period may be slower than it has been during

the past few decades due to slower population growth

and, specifically, smaller population cohorts entering the

primary ages of household formation.

x The number of family households is projected to increase

by 15 percent (from 68 million in 1995 to 78 million in

2010), adding more than half of the growth in total

households. As a proportion of all households, family

households would decrease slightly from 70 to 68 percent.

x The number of married-couple households would contribute most of this projected growth in families, increasing from 53 million to 59 million between 1995 and 2010.

Yet as a proportion of all households, married-couple

households would decrease from 55 to 52 percent

during this period.

x Even though the share of households maintained as

other family households (female family householder or

male family householder) would scarcely change, (15

percent in 1995 and 16 percent in 2010), the rate of

growth of other family households is expected to be

faster than any other household type (with an average

annual percent change of 1.3 for female family householders and 1.9 for male family householders). In total,

other family households are expected to increase from

15 million to 19 million between 1995 and 2010.

x Much of the driving force of household and family

formation during the next 15 years will depend on the

actions of the large post-World War II Baby-Boom cohorts,

currently 38 percent of the population age 15 years and

over. By 2010, the Baby-Boom cohorts will have aged to

their late 40’s, 50’s, and early 60’s.

x The number of two-parent families (that is, marriedcouple families with children) may increase from 24.6

million to a peak at 24.8 million in 1997, then slowly

decrease to 23.1 million by 2010. One in five households

in 2010 would contain a mother, father, and child(ren)

under 18 compared with 1 in 4 currently.

x Other families with children (those maintained by persons with no spouse present) are projected to increase

moderately from 8 million to 9 million between 1995 and

2010 and would continue to represent about 8 percent of

all households.

x Currently, slightly more than half of American families

have no children under age 18 living at home; by 2010,

3 of 5 families may have no children under 18 present.

Although the number of families with children is projected to remain near 1995 levels, the number of families

with no children under 18 is projected to increase by 28

percent (from 36 million to 46 million) by 2010.

x The number of married couples with no children is

expected to grow by 7 million; all of the increase would

occur in the 45 and over age groups, burgeoning with

aging cohorts of empty-nest Baby Boomers.

x The average size of households is projected to slowly

decline from 2.62 persons per household in 1995 to 2.53

by 2010. The average family size is also expected to

decline from 3.15 to 3.05. Two major factors contribute to

these declines in average household and family sizes:

increases in households and families with no children

under 18, and increases in persons living alone.

x Currently, about one-quarter of households are maintained by a person living alone; this proportion is expected

to increase slightly from 25 to 27 percent between 1995

to 2010. The number of persons living alone is projected

to increase from 24 million to 31 million. Most of this

increase in the population living alone would be between

the ages of 45 and 64 due to the influx of Baby Boomers

in these age groups.

MAJOR CHANGES FROM THE LAST REPORT

Projections in this report supersede the information

contained in Current Population Reports, Series P-25, No.

986. The methodology used to create the projections in this

report has been modified, though it uses logic similar to

that found in earlier reports. Also changed are the base

population projections and the household formation assumptions.

These projections differ from previous CPS-based household projections created by the Census Bureau since

independently derived household estimates began only

recently and were not available for previous household

projections. These household projections are based on

1990 census data and post-censal estimates and are not

3
comparable with post-1990 results from the Current Population Survey (CPS) or reports generated by the Census

Bureau based on the CPS. The data in this report have not

been adjusted to reflect the population undercount in the

1990 census. The methodology section of this report

describes the reasons for these changes.

This report contains the Census Bureau’s first effort to

provide projections of people living alone and of families

with and without children. Moreover, a new alternative

series presents projections of households and families by

race and Hispanic origin of the householder.

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS

This report includes projections of the number of households and families in the United States for the years 1995

to 2010. These numbers are based on the 1990 census, as

enumerated, with modifications for age and race1, and

household estimates from 1991 to 19942, and are projected forward using alternative marital status and householdtype proportions. These household projections are not

intended as a forecast, but represent the results of assumptions about future trends in population change and household formation. The increase in the number of households

(occupied housing units) is not necessarily identical to the

volume of housing construction which may take place

during the projection period. The number of housing units is

likely to differ from the increase in the number of households because of changes in the number of vacant units

(vacant housing units are not counted as households), the

demolition of existing units, and conversions or mergers in

existing structures.

Three Alternative Series

Three alternative series were selected to illuminate

alternative patterns of future household change. Series 1,

based on a time series model, is the preferred projection in

light of past and possible future trends in household

change. Series 2 reflects the consequences of projected

change in the age/sex structure of the population only, that

is, assuming no change from the composition in 1990 of

the proportion maintaining households for specific types by

age and sex. This series provides a basis for evaluating the

implications of alternative assumptions in other series.

Series 3 reflects the consequences of projected change in

both the age/sex structure and race/origin composition of

the population; again this assumes no change in the

composition in 1990 proportions maintaining specific types

of households by age and sex, also projected separately by

race and Hispanic origin.

This report presents projected numbers of households

and families by type of household, sex of householder (if

not married spouse present), and age of householder. Also

shown are the average size of households and families,

marital status of the population, and the number of families

with children. Series 3 also includes projections of households and families disaggregated by four race groups —

White; Black; American Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut (AIEA);

and Asian and Pacific Islander (API) — and by Hispanic

origin. Households reported by race or origin of the householder do not include assumptions about the race/origin of

other members of the household or mixed race/origin

marriages. Data are presented only in terms of the race or

origin of the householder.

Unless otherwise noted, the discussion in this report

refers to the projections based on the preferred series —

Series 1. Series 2 and 3 are included for illustrative

purposes.

Elements of Household Projections

Household projections depend on future population growth,

future age composition of the population, and future life

course patterns — described as householdership rates

(the population maintaining households within specified

population categories). All three household projection series

are based on the middle series in the Census Bureau’s

most recent population projections. Assumptions regarding

future population growth and the age, sex, race, and

Hispanic origin composition of the population are consistent with those reported in Current Population Reports,

P25-1130.

Differences among the three series depend on the

assumptions about future life course patterns and the

future race and origin composition of the population (see

table A). For series 1, assumptions about future changes in

family and household situation (e.g., age at first marriage,

divorce, and the impact of the aging Baby-Boom cohorts)

extend well-documented trends of the past 30 years.3 For

series 2 and series 3, current patterns of family and

householdership are assumed to remain at their 1990

proportions.

Household Types

Household types are arranged into two groups: family

households and nonfamily households (table B). A family

household contains at least two persons — the householder and at least one other person related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption — and is categorized

into three types: married couple; female householder with

no spouse present; and male householder with no spouse

present. A nonfamily household may contain only one

person — the householder — or additional persons who

are not relatives of the householder. Nonfamily households

may be classified as either female nonfamily or male

nonfamily households. For each year, the total number of

households is the sum of the five mutually exclusive

household types. By census definition, householders must

be at least 15 years of age.

PROJECTED HOUSEHOLD TRENDS

Projected Number of Households

The number of households in the United States is

projected to increase during the next 15 years, reaching

103 million by the turn of the century and almost 115 million

by 2010, according to Series 1 (table C, figure 1). Almost 6

million households are expected to be added during the

second half of the 1990’s and almost 12 million households

would be added between 2000 and 2010.

Due to the smaller population cohorts entering the

primary ages of householdership, the growth in the number

of households each year is projected to wane during the

latter half of the 1990’s, adding about 1.1 million households each year between 1995 and 2000. The annual

growth during this period may be slower than the annual

growth that occurred during the past two decades. After the

turn of the century when the generations born during the

late 1970’s and the 1980’s begin forming households, the

annual growth in the number of households is projected to

slowly increase and by 2005 would amount to about 1.2

million households annually.

Similarly, the rate of household growth during the next

15 years may be slower than it has been during the past

few decades (table D). The relatively slow rate of growth of

households since the 1970’s4 is projected to slow even

more during the remainder of the 1990’s at about 1.1

percent per year and remain at this level throughout the

first decade of the 21st century.

Components of Household Growth

Changing population size. Future population change is a

key component of the projected number of households.

Assumptions used to create population projections (i.e.,

of the population age 15 years and over. Already past the

primary ages of establishing new households, the BabyBoom cohorts (ages 31 to 49 in 19957) will age through the

peak years of family stability between 1995 and 2010.8 By

2010, the Baby-Boom cohorts will have aged to their late

40’s, 50’s, and early 60’s — ages when many parents’

children leave home9 (figure 3). By that time, the BabyBoom cohorts would still account for about one-third (31

percent) of the population age 15 years and over.

PROJECTIONS OF HOUSEHOLD COMPOSITION

During the next 15 years, the overall composition of

households is projected to shift, with a decreasing proportion of family households with children and increasing

proportions of family households with no children and

Baby-Boom cohorts usually refer to the population born between late

1946 and 1964. Technically, because the population and household data

in this report use a reference date of July 1, most of

the Baby-Boom cohorts may be 6 months younger than these ages (30.5

- 48.5 in 1995). 8

people living alone (figure 4). As previously described, the

aging of the Baby-Boom cohorts drives most of this change,

not shifts in family structure, per se.

Family Households

In Series 1, the number of family households is projected to increase 10 million (15 percent) during the next 15

years from 68 million in 1995 to 78 million by 2010 (table

G). The growth in family households would add more than

half (about 56 percent) of the growth of total households

projected by 2010. Yet, since family households would not

grow as rapidly as nonfamily households (0.9 versus 1.5

average annual percent change), due mostly to the aging

of the Baby Boom, the family household proportion of all

households would decrease slightly from 70 percent in

1995 to 68 percent by 2010.

The number of married-couple households would contribute most of the projected growth in families, increasing

from 53 million to 59 million between 1995 and 2010.

Married-couple households are projected to grow slowly, at

0.7 average annual percent increase between 1995 and

2010. As a proportion of all households, married-couple

households would decrease from 55 to 52 percent between

1995 and 2010.

Other family households are also expected to increase

— from 11.4 million to 13.9 million female family households with no spouse present and 3.5 million to 4.7 million

male family households with no spouse present. The rate

of growth of other family households is expected to be

faster than other household types (with an average annual

percent change of 1.3 for female family householders and

1.9 for male family householders). But, the share of households maintained as other family households would scarcely

change (15 percent in 1995 and 16 percent in 2010).

Families with children. The number of families with

children under 18 is projected to increase minimally from

32.6 million in 1995, peak at 33.2 million in 2001, and then

slowly decrease to 32.2 by 2010 (table H). At the same

time, however, as a proportion of all families, families with

children may steadily fall from almost half (48 percent) in

1995 to 41 percent in 2010.

Two critical demographic trends occur during this period.

First, between 1995 and 2010, the large Baby-Boom

cohorts will age through the peak years of child-rearing and

subsequently, as their children also age, these cohorts will

increase the number of families with no children under age

18 present. Second, smaller cohorts born after the Baby

Boom will enter those ages during which they are most

likely to have children living at home. Even though the

number of children under 18 is projected to increase due to

higher fertility rates during the 1990’s and 2000’s than

during the 1970’s and 1980’s10, the number of families with

children is projected to decrease slightly.

Currently about three-quarters of families with children

include two married parents. The number of two-parent

families may increase from 24.6 million, peak at 24.8 in

1997, then slowly decrease to 23.1 million by 2010. In

2010, 1 in 5 households would contain a mother, father,

and child(ren) under 18 compared with 1 in 4 currently.

In contrast, other families with children (those maintained by persons with no spouse present) are projected to

increase moderately from 8 million to 9 million between

1995 and 2010, and would continue to represent 8 percent

of all households but increase as a proportion of families

with children from 24 percent to 28 percent. The number of

female-parent households is projected to increase by 12

percent (from 6.4 million to 7.2 million) between 1995 and

2010, continue to constitute 9 percent of all families, and

increase slightly from 20 percent to 22 percent of all

families with children. The number of one-parent households maintained by men is projected to increase by 22

percent (from 1.5 million to 1.9 million) between 1995 and

2010. Still, male family householders with children would

constitute only 2 percent of all families and 6 percent of all

families with children.

10The total fertility rate dropped to a low of 1.7 births per woman in

1976, then increased slowly to 1.8 in 1979, 1.9 in 1987, 2.0 in 1989, and

2.1 in 1990. Projected total fertility rates remain about 2.1 to 2010. See

Current Population Reports, P25-1130 for further discussion.

Families with no children. Although the number of

families with children is projected to remain near 1995

levels, the number of families with no children under 18 is

projected to increase by 28 percent from 36 million to 46

million between 1995 and 2010 (figure 5). Currently, slightly

more than half of American families have no children living

at home; by 2010, 3 of 5 families may have no children

present.

The number of married couples with no children is

expected to grow by 7 million (from 29 million to 36 million

in 2010). All of the increase would occur in the 45 and over

age groups, burgeoning with aging cohorts of empty-nest

Baby Boomers. Similarly, the number of female family

householders and male family householders with no children would also increase by 1 million and 2 million,

respectively.

Nonfamily Households

The number of nonfamily households in Series 1 is

expected to increase almost 8 million or 36 percent during

the next 15 years, from 29 million in 1995 to 37 million by

2010 (table G). Nonfamily households would contribute

about 44 percent of the growth of total households between

1995 and 2010 and would modestly increase in proportion

from 30 percent to 32 percent of all households.

The increase in the number of female nonfamily households during this period (almost 4 million) would contribute

largely to the projected growth in nonfamily households.

Nonfamily households are projected to increase at 1.5

percent a year from 1995 to 2010. Male nonfamily households are projected to grow slightly faster at 1.7 percent

annually and female nonfamily households may grow at

1.4 percent a year.

Living alone. One-quarter of all households (24 million)

are maintained by persons living alone; this proportion is

projected to increase slightly during the next 15 years from

24.9 to 26.8 percent (growing to 31 million people living

alone). During this period, the number of female householders living alone may grow from 14 million to 17 million,

and the number of male householders living alone would

increase from 10 million to 13 million (table G).

The age structure of householders living alone is projected to change substantially during the next 15 years

(figure 6, table I). In 1995, approximately 2 in 5 one-person

householders would be in younger age groups (between

ages 15 and 44), slightly more than 1 in 5 would be middle

aged (between ages 45-64), and about 2 in 5 would be

elderly (ages 65 and over). Although the number of people

living alone would increase for all three age groups by

2010, most of the increase in the population living alone

(69 percent) would be between ages 45 and 64 due to the

influx of the Baby Boomers. Likewise, the number of young

and elderly people living alone is expected to increase

minimally due to the relatively slow growth in those age

13
groups. The age composition of one-person households

would be evenly split among the broad age groups by

2010, with about one-third in the younger age groups,

one-third in their middle ages, and one-third elderly.

Gender differences of persons living alone by age are

projected to persist through 2010 (table I). The population

of persons living alone in 2010 would be predominantly

male under age 45 (61 percent) and mostly female at ages

65 and over (78 percent). This difference is due to two

factors: first, most persons living alone under age 45 are

never married and men continue to experience older ages

at first marriage than women; second, women on average

live longer than men.11

Projected Marital Status Trends

Projections of the ever-married and never-married population are presented in table J. The category ever married

includes adults (persons 18 and over)12 who are currently

11Saluter, Arlene F., Marital Status and Living Arrangements: March

1994, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, P20-484,

18 and over), since most persons younger than age 18 are never married.

married living with their spouse, married not living with their

spouse, separated, divorced, or widowed. The number of

ever-married adults is projected to increase from 152

million in 1995 to 159 million by 2000, and to 174 million by

2010, paralleling the increased population growth. Similarly, the total number of people currently married and living

together would continue to increase from 107 million in

1995 to 111 million by 2000 and 119 million by 2010. Yet, as

a proportion of the total adult population, married couples

are projected to slightly decrease from 55 percent in 1990

to 53 percent by 2010.

The number of never-married adults in the United States

for 1995 is projected to be 42 million — 1 million more than

in 1990. Following trends of the past 20 years13, the

number of never-married adults would increase continually,

reaching 44 million by 2000 and 51 million by 2010. The

proportion of single adults would remain the same during

the next 15 years, at 22 percent. Yet, at the same time the

proportion of single younger adults would increase due to

adults in the age group 30-34 may have never married,

compared to 23 percent in 1995 (table 7).

Effects of Alternative Population Projections

All of the preceding results use the same population

base, the middle series from Current Population Reports

P25-1130. The actual future course of population growth,

however, could vary considerably from the middle series

because of variations in fertility, life expectancy, and net

immigration14. A higher or lower future population would

result in different household numbers. For illustrative purposes, the projected number of households based on the

extreme lowest and extreme highest population projections

series are shown in table K.

DETAILED METHODOLOGY AND ASSUMPTIONS

Estimates of Households

These household projections are consistent with the

1990 census, as enumerated, and the household estimates based on administrative records which advance the

14The middle series includes assumptions of 2.1 children per woman,

a life expectancy of 75.9 years in 1995 increasing to 77.4 by 2010, and net

1990 census household count through the decade.15

important to note that these projections differ from previous

CPS-based household projections created by the U.S.

Census Bureau16 since independently derived household

estimates began only recently and were not available for

previous household projections.

The U.S. Census Bureau produces several other products which provide differing estimates of the number of

households; these include the American Housing Survey

(AHS), the Housing Vacancy Survey (HVS), and the Current Population Survey (CPS).17 The March CPS is the only

one which presents annual detailed characteristics on

household composition. All three products indicate a greater

number of households than that found in the 1990 census

count (table L). Among the reasons for these differences

are survey weighting differences, sampling frame variations, and reference month differences. After 1993, the

number of households.

Starting Point Issues

The 1994 household estimates, used as the starting

point for the household projections, presented two challenges: lack of household type detail, and ‘‘jump off’’ point

differences. In the first challenge, the household estimates

consistent with the 1990 census as enumerated included

18Beginning in 1994, the Current Population Survey began using in its

base population controls the 1990 census adjusted for undercount by the

Post Enumeration Survey. For more specific details on the Current

Population Survey population base, see Bureau of Labor Statistics,

‘‘Introduction of 1990 Census-Based Population Controls’’ in Employment

and Earnings, Vol. 41, No. 2, February 1994, pp.32-37.

data only for the total number of U.S. households by 5-year

age groups; specific details, such as type of household and

marital status of householder, required to project the future

household composition, were not available. Therefore,

these items were obtained from the 1990 census and

carried forward based on proportional annual changes in

the CPS. For each year, 1990 through 1994, sums of these

detailed household types were calculated; these sums

differed from the official estimates. To obtain estimates by

type consistent with the official total, the detailed householdtype projections were multiplied by the ratio of their sums to

the official total estimates for each year.

The second challenge emerged in the first projection

year, 1995. The difference between the total number of

households, controlled to the previous estimates (1990

through 1994) and the projected number of households

with no control produced dramatic shifts in the rate of

household change from 1994 to 1995, an artifact of different methodologies to arrive at the total number. Therefore,

an overall check (by broad age group) was created by

averaging the annual modifications for the 5 overlapping

years (1990 through 1994) and then applying these averaged adjustments to the total projected number of households by broad age group for every year from 1995 to 2010.

Demographic Assumptions

Various demographic factors influence trends in household change. Age at first marriage influences the proportion

of persons never married. Increased age at first marriage

can lead to an increase in the proportion of younger

persons in nonfamily living arrangements, either living

alone or with roommates and can reduce the proportion of

persons maintaining family households. Divorces can influence household composition by leading to increases in

adults forming their own households; that is, family households with no spouse and nonfamily households, thereby

reducing the proportion maintaining married-couple households. The effect of nonmarital childbearing augments the

proportion of family households with no spouse present,

especially female family householders with children. Postponed or foregone childbearing may also decrease the

proportion of younger married couples with children and

delayed childbearing may increase the proportion of older

married couples with children. Longer life expectancy

(assumed in the base population projections P25-1130)

increases the proportion of married couples in older ages

by deferring widowhood; however, differential increases in

life expectancy by sex can lead to more people living alone

at older ages. All of these demographic effects may be

accentuated by the changes in the age composition of the

population.

Although many of these demographic trends changed

dramatically during the 1970’s and 1980’s, recent evidence

suggests some of these demographic components may be

slowing and, in some cases, reversing themselves19. Hence,

the following assumptions and rationale underlie the household projections. First, age at first marriage will continue to

increase, but at a slower pace than previously. Since the

late 1970’s and early 1980’s, the quinquennial increases in

percent never married have become gradually smaller for

younger age groups (under 30). This suggests that we

have passed the peak in the rate of increase and may

expect more modest future gains in age at first marriage.

Second, the divorce rate leveled off and declined slightly

after 1979. This had an especially striking effect in reducing

the rate of change in the married-couple household proportions ages 20-44. As these cohorts become older during

the next 15 years, a similar leveling can be expected at the

older ages. The leveling of divorce also moderates change

19For further information see Current Population Reports, P20-483

and P20-484.

in the proportion of persons with children but no spouse in

the home, especially for women. Although the proportion of

men maintaining other families has been increasing through

age 34, an acceleration of this trend seems unlikely.

Methodology

The methodology used to create the projections in this

report employed five household-type matrices: marriedcouple household; female family household, no spouse

present; male family household, no spouse present; nonfamily, female householder; and nonfamily, male householder; and one marital status matrix (never married, ever

married). Each matrix contained proportions by the demographic characteristics of the householder: age group

(15-17, 18-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64,

65-74, 75+), sex (male, female), race (Total; White; Black;

American Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut; Asian and Pacific

Islander), and Hispanic origin (Hispanic origin or not of

Hispanic origin). The projected number of households by

type is the product of the proportions by type of household

and the household population at risk.

Compared to earlier household projection reports, data

used in this report are blended from a large number of

sources: the 1990 census, the 1959-1993 Current Population Surveys (CPS), estimates of the number of households (1990-1994), population estimates (1990-1994), and

population projections (1995-2010).

Creation of the household population. By definition,

the household population consists of the resident population excluding people living in group quarters (i.e., 9 or

more people living together who are unrelated to the

householder). Projections of the group quarters population

(GQ) are calculated using constant rates (by single years

of age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin) based on the 1990

census.20 For each year, the GQ rates were applied to

future populations by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin to

create the projected group quarters population. The difference between the projected resident population and the

projected group quarters population is the projected household population. The projected population in households

was then summed for each year to form the ten broad age

groups specified earlier and the under 15 population.

Creation of future proportions maintaining households.

The proportions used in Series 1 were initially founded on

a time series model. This model was based on estimates of

the annual changes in householder proportions for the past

three decades to project changes to the year 2010. One

hundred annual proportion series from 1959 to 1993 of

projections. The universe for female family households,

male family households, and nonfamily households is the

total population in households minus the population in

married-couple households (husbands and wives). Starting

proportions from the 1990 census are created for each

household type for the base year by age, sex, race, and

Hispanic origin. Then, projected proportions are created by

applying the annual change in the household formation by

type (based on time series data for Series 1; for Series 2

and 3, the projected change is 1.0; that is, no change) to

the proportion in the previous year. The number of households by type are derived by multiplying the annual proportions by the population for each year.

the U.S. Census Bureau’s site on the Internet (www.census.gov).

24As a technical refinement to take into account current data collection

procedures which distinguish whether the husband or wife is listed as the

reference person in a married-couple household, the following adjustment

was made. The number of married-couple men and women was obtained

as the average number of males and females maintaining married-couple

households. Using proportions of reported male and female householders

in married-couple households from the 1990 census, the sex of the

householder was determined for each age/race/origin group; the remainder were classified as spouses.
