Projections of the Number of Households and Familiesin the United States: 1995 to 2010

HIGHLIGHTS

x The number of households in the United States isprojected to increase during the next 15 years, reaching103 million by the turn of the century and almost 115million by 2010. However, the rate of household growthduring this period may be slower than it has been duringthe past few decades due to slower population growthand, specifically, smaller population cohorts entering theprimary ages of household formation.

x The number of family households is projected to increaseby 15 percent (from 68 million in 1995 to 78 million in2010), adding more than half of the growth in totalhouseholds. As a proportion of all households, familyhouseholds would decrease slightly from 70 to 68 per-cent.

x The number of married-couple households would con-tribute most of this projected growth in families, increas-ing from 53 million to 59 million between 1995 and 2010.Yet as a proportion of all households, married-couplehouseholds would decrease from 55 to 52 percentduring this period.

x Even though the share of households maintained asother family households (female family householder ormale family householder) would scarcely change, (15percent in 1995 and 16 percent in 2010), the rate ofgrowth of other family households is expected to befaster than any other household type (with an averageannual percent change of 1.3 for female family house-holders and 1.9 for male family householders). In total,other family households are expected to increase from15 million to 19 million between 1995 and 2010.

x Much of the driving force of household and familyformation during the next 15 years will depend on theactions of the large post-WorldWar II Baby-Boom cohorts,currently 38 percent of the population age 15 years andover. By 2010, the Baby-Boom cohorts will have aged totheir late 40’s, 50’s, and early 60’s.

x The number of two-parent families (that is, married-couple families with children) may increase from 24.6million to a peak at 24.8 million in 1997, then slowlydecrease to 23.1 million by 2010. One in five householdsin 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 per-sons with no spouse present) are projected to increase

moderately from 8 million to 9 million between 1995 and2010 and would continue to represent about 8 percent ofall households.

x Currently, slightly more than half of American familieshave 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 pro-jected to remain near 1995 levels, the number of familieswith no children under 18 is projected to increase by 28percent (from 36 million to 46 million) by 2010.

x The number of married couples with no children isexpected to grow by 7 million; all of the increase wouldoccur in the 45 and over age groups, burgeoning withaging cohorts of empty-nest Baby Boomers.

x The average size of households is projected to slowlydecline from 2.62 persons per household in 1995 to 2.53by 2010. The average family size is also expected todecline from 3.15 to 3.05. Two major factors contribute tothese declines in average household and family sizes:increases in households and families with no childrenunder 18, and increases in persons living alone.

x Currently, about one-quarter of households are main-tained by a person living alone; this proportion is expectedto increase slightly from 25 to 27 percent between 1995to 2010. The number of persons living alone is projectedto increase from 24 million to 31 million. Most of thisincrease in the population living alone would be betweenthe ages of 45 and 64 due to the influx of Baby Boomersin these age groups.

MAJOR CHANGES FROM THE LAST REPORT

Projections in this report supersede the informationcontained in Current Population Reports, Series P-25, No.986. The methodology used to create the projections in thisreport has been modified, though it uses logic similar tothat found in earlier reports. Also changed are the basepopulation projections and the household formation assump-tions.

These projections differ from previous CPS-based house-hold projections created by the Census Bureau sinceindependently derived household estimates began onlyrecently and were not available for previous householdprojections. These household projections are based on1990 census data and post-censal estimates and are not

comparable with post-1990 results from the Current Popu-lation Survey (CPS) or reports generated by the CensusBureau based on the CPS. The data in this report have notbeen adjusted to reflect the population undercount in the1990 census. The methodology section of this reportdescribes the reasons for these changes.

This report contains the Census Bureau’s first effort toprovide projections of people living alone and of familieswith and without children. Moreover, a new alternativeseries presents projections of households and families byrace and Hispanic origin of the householder.

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS

This report includes projections of the number of house-holds and families in the United States for the years 1995to 2010. These numbers are based on the 1990 census, asenumerated, with modifications for age and race1, andhousehold estimates from 1991 to 19942, and are pro-jected forward using alternativemarital status and household-type proportions. These household projections are notintended as a forecast, but represent the results of assump-tions about future trends in population change and house-hold formation. The increase in the number of households(occupied housing units) is not necessarily identical to thevolume of housing construction which may take placeduring the projection period. The number of housing units islikely to differ from the increase in the number of house-holds because of changes in the number of vacant units(vacant housing units are not counted as households), thedemolition of existing units, and conversions or mergers inexisting structures.

Three Alternative Series

Three alternative series were selected to illuminatealternative patterns of future household change. Series 1,based on a time series model, is the preferred projection inlight of past and possible future trends in householdchange. Series 2 reflects the consequences of projectedchange in the age/sex structure of the population only, thatis, assuming no change from the composition in 1990 ofthe proportion maintaining households for specific types byage and sex. This series provides a basis for evaluating theimplications of alternative assumptions in other series.Series 3 reflects the consequences of projected change inboth the age/sex structure and race/origin composition ofthe population; again this assumes no change in thecomposition in 1990 proportions maintaining specific typesof households by age and sex, also projected separately byrace and Hispanic origin.

This report presents projected numbers of householdsand families by type of household, sex of householder (ifnot married spouse present), and age of householder. Alsoshown are the average size of households and families,marital status of the population, and the number of familieswith children. Series 3 also includes projections of house-holds and families disaggregated by four race groups —White; Black; American Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut (AIEA);and Asian and Pacific Islander (API) — and by Hispanicorigin. Households reported by race or origin of the house-holder do not include assumptions about the race/origin ofother members of the household or mixed race/originmarriages. Data are presented only in terms of the race ororigin of the householder.

Unless otherwise noted, the discussion in this reportrefers to the projections based on the preferred series —Series 1. Series 2 and 3 are included for illustrativepurposes.

Elements of Household Projections

Household projections depend on future population growth,future age composition of the population, and future lifecourse patterns — described as householdership rates(the population maintaining households within specifiedpopulation categories). All three household projection seriesare based on the middle series in the Census Bureau’smost recent population projections. Assumptions regardingfuture population growth and the age, sex, race, andHispanic origin composition of the population are consis-tent with those reported in Current Population Reports,P25-1130.

Differences among the three series depend on theassumptions about future life course patterns and thefuture race and origin composition of the population (seetable A). For series 1, assumptions about future changes infamily 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 Forseries 2 and series 3, current patterns of family andhouseholdership are assumed to remain at their 1990proportions.

Household Types

Household types are arranged into two groups: familyhouseholds and nonfamily households (table B). A familyhousehold contains at least two persons — the house-holder and at least one other person related to the house-holder by birth, marriage, or adoption — and is categorizedinto three types: married couple; female householder with

no spouse present; and male householder with no spousepresent. A nonfamily household may contain only oneperson — the householder — or additional persons whoare not relatives of the householder. Nonfamily householdsmay be classified as either female nonfamily or malenonfamily households. For each year, the total number ofhouseholds is the sum of the five mutually exclusivehousehold types. By census definition, householders mustbe at least 15 years of age.

PROJECTED HOUSEHOLD TRENDS

Projected Number of Households

The number of households in the United States isprojected to increase during the next 15 years, reaching103 million by the turn of the century and almost 115 millionby 2010, according to Series 1 (table C, figure 1). Almost 6million households are expected to be added during thesecond half of the 1990’s and almost 12 million householdswould be added between 2000 and 2010.

Due to the smaller population cohorts entering theprimary ages of householdership, the growth in the numberof households each year is projected to wane during the

latter half of the 1990’s, adding about 1.1 million house-holds each year between 1995 and 2000. The annualgrowth during this period may be slower than the annualgrowth that occurred during the past two decades. After theturn of the century when the generations born during thelate 1970’s and the 1980’s begin forming households, theannual growth in the number of households is projected toslowly increase and by 2005 would amount to about 1.2million households annually.

Similarly, the rate of household growth during the next15 years may be slower than it has been during the pastfew decades (table D). The relatively slow rate of growth ofhouseholds since the 1970’s4 is projected to slow evenmore during the remainder of the 1990’s at about 1.1percent per year and remain at this level throughout thefirst decade of the 21st century.

Components of Household Growth

Already past theprimary ages of establishing new households, the Baby-Boom cohorts (ages 31 to 49 in 19957) will age through thepeak years of family stability between 1995 and 2010.8 By2010, the Baby-Boom cohorts will have aged to their late40’s, 50’s, and early 60’s — ages when many parents’children leave home9 (figure 3). By that time, the Baby-Boom cohorts would still account for about one-third (31percent) of the population age 15 years and over.

7Baby-Boom cohorts usually refer to the population born between late1946 and 1964. Technically, because the population and household datain this report use a reference date of July 1, most ofthe Baby-Boom cohorts may be 6 months younger than these ages (30.5- 48.5 in 1995).

people living alone (figure 4). As previously described, theaging 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 pro-jected to increase 10 million (15 percent) during the next 15years from 68 million in 1995 to 78 million by 2010 (tableG). The growth in family households would add more thanhalf (about 56 percent) of the growth of total householdsprojected by 2010. Yet, since family households would notgrow as rapidly as nonfamily households (0.9 versus 1.5average annual percent change), due mostly to the agingof the Baby Boom, the family household proportion of allhouseholds would decrease slightly from 70 percent in1995 to 68 percent by 2010.

The number of married-couple households would con-tribute most of the projected growth in families, increasingfrom 53 million to 59 million between 1995 and 2010.Married-couple households are projected to grow slowly, at0.7 average annual percent increase between 1995 and2010. As a proportion of all households, married-couplehouseholds would decrease from 55 to 52 percent between1995 and 2010.

Other family households are also expected to increase— from 11.4 million to 13.9 million female family house-holds with no spouse present and 3.5 million to 4.7 millionmale family households with no spouse present. The rateof growth of other family households is expected to befaster than other household types (with an average annualpercent change of 1.3 for female family householders and1.9 for male family householders). But, the share of house-holds maintained as other family households would scarcelychange (15 percent in 1995 and 16 percent in 2010).

Families with children. The number of families withchildren under 18 is projected to increase minimally from32.6 million in 1995, peak at 33.2 million in 2001, and thenslowly decrease to 32.2 by 2010 (table H). At the sametime, however, as a proportion of all families, families withchildren may steadily fall from almost half (48 percent) in1995 to 41 percent in 2010.

Two critical demographic trends occur during this period.First, between 1995 and 2010, the large Baby-Boomcohorts will age through the peak years of child-rearing andsubsequently, as their children also age, these cohorts willincrease the number of families with no children under age18 present. Second, smaller cohorts born after the BabyBoom will enter those ages during which they are mostlikely to have children living at home. Even though thenumber of children under 18 is projected to increase due tohigher fertility rates during the 1990’s and 2000’s thanduring the 1970’s and 1980’s10, the number of families withchildren is projected to decrease slightly.

Currently about three-quarters of families with childreninclude two married parents. The number of two-parentfamilies may increase from 24.6 million, peak at 24.8 in1997, then slowly decrease to 23.1 million by 2010. In2010, 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 main-tained by persons with no spouse present) are projected toincrease moderately from 8 million to 9 million between1995 and 2010, and would continue to represent 8 percentof all households but increase as a proportion of familieswith children from 24 percent to 28 percent. The number offemale-parent households is projected to increase by 12percent (from 6.4 million to 7.2 million) between 1995 and2010, continue to constitute 9 percent of all families, andincrease slightly from 20 percent to 22 percent of allfamilies with children. The number of one-parent house-holds maintained by men is projected to increase by 22percent (from 1.5 million to 1.9 million) between 1995 and2010. Still, male family householders with children wouldconstitute only 2 percent of all families and 6 percent of allfamilies with children.

10The total fertility rate dropped to a low of 1.7 births per woman in1976, then increased slowly to 1.8 in 1979, 1.9 in 1987, 2.0 in 1989, and2.1 in 1990. Projected total fertility rates remain about 2.1 to 2010. SeeCurrent Population Reports, P25-1130 for further discussion.

Families with no children. Although the number offamilies with children is projected to remain near 1995levels, the number of families with no children under 18 isprojected to increase by 28 percent from 36 million to 46million between 1995 and 2010 (figure 5). Currently, slightlymore than half of American families have no children livingat home; by 2010, 3 of 5 families may have no childrenpresent.

The number of married couples with no children isexpected to grow by 7 million (from 29 million to 36 millionin 2010). All of the increase would occur in the 45 and overage groups, burgeoning with aging cohorts of empty-nestBaby Boomers. Similarly, the number of female familyhouseholders and male family householders with no chil-dren would also increase by 1 million and 2 million,respectively.

Nonfamily Households

The number of nonfamily households in Series 1 isexpected to increase almost 8 million or 36 percent duringthe next 15 years, from 29 million in 1995 to 37 million by2010 (table G). Nonfamily households would contributeabout 44 percent of the growth of total households between1995 and 2010 and would modestly increase in proportionfrom 30 percent to 32 percent of all households.

The increase in the number of female nonfamily house-holds during this period (almost 4 million) would contributelargely to the projected growth in nonfamily households.Nonfamily households are projected to increase at 1.5percent a year from 1995 to 2010. Male nonfamily house-holds are projected to grow slightly faster at 1.7 percentannually and female nonfamily households may grow at1.4 percent a year.

Living alone. One-quarter of all households (24 million)are maintained by persons living alone; this proportion isprojected to increase slightly during the next 15 years from24.9 to 26.8 percent (growing to 31 million people livingalone). During this period, the number of female house-holders living alone may grow from 14 million to 17 million,and the number of male householders living alone wouldincrease from 10 million to 13 million (table G).

The age structure of householders living alone is pro-jected to change substantially during the next 15 years(figure 6, table I). In 1995, approximately 2 in 5 one-personhouseholders would be in younger age groups (betweenages 15 and 44), slightly more than 1 in 5 would be middleaged (between ages 45-64), and about 2 in 5 would beelderly (ages 65 and over). Although the number of peopleliving alone would increase for all three age groups by2010, most of the increase in the population living alone(69 percent) would be between ages 45 and 64 due to theinflux of the Baby Boomers. Likewise, the number of youngand elderly people living alone is expected to increaseminimally due to the relatively slow growth in those age

13

groups. The age composition of one-person householdswould be evenly split among the broad age groups by2010, 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 areprojected to persist through 2010 (table I). The populationof persons living alone in 2010 would be predominantlymale under age 45 (61 percent) and mostly female at ages65 and over (78 percent). This difference is due to twofactors: first, most persons living alone under age 45 arenever married and men continue to experience older agesat first marriage than women; second, women on averagelive longer than men.11

Projected Marital Status Trends

Projections of the ever-married and never-married popu-lation are presented in table J. The category ever marriedincludes adults (persons 18 and over)12 who are currently

married living with their spouse, married not living with theirspouse, separated, divorced, or widowed. The number ofever-married adults is projected to increase from 152million in 1995 to 159 million by 2000, and to 174 million by2010, paralleling the increased population growth. Simi-larly, the total number of people currently married and livingtogether would continue to increase from 107 million in1995 to 111 million by 2000 and 119 million by 2010. Yet, asa proportion of the total adult population, married couplesare projected to slightly decrease from 55 percent in 1990to 53 percent by 2010.

The number of never-married adults in the United Statesfor 1995 is projected to be 42 million — 1 million more thanin 1990. Following trends of the past 20 years13, thenumber of never-married adults would increase continually,reaching 44 million by 2000 and 51 million by 2010. Theproportion of single adults would remain the same duringthe next 15 years, at 22 percent. Yet, at the same time theproportion of single younger adults would increase due to

the postponement of marriage. By 2010, 28 percent ofadults 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 populationbase, the middle series from Current Population ReportsP25-1130. The actual future course of population growth,however, could vary considerably from the middle seriesbecause of variations in fertility, life expectancy, and netimmigration14. A higher or lower future population wouldresult in different household numbers. For illustrative pur-poses, the projected number of households based on theextreme lowest and extreme highest population projectionsseries are shown in table K.

DETAILED METHODOLOGY AND ASSUMPTIONS

Estimates of Households

These household projections are consistent with the1990 census, as enumerated, and the household esti-mates based on administrative records which advance the

1990 census household count through the decade.15

important to note that these projections differ from previousCPS-based household projections created by the U.S.Census Bureau16 since independently derived householdestimates began only recently and were not available forprevious household projections.

The U.S. Census Bureau produces several other prod-ucts which provide differing estimates of the number ofhouseholds; these include the American Housing Survey(AHS), the Housing Vacancy Survey (HVS), and the Cur-rent Population Survey (CPS).17 The March CPS is the onlyone which presents annual detailed characteristics onhousehold composition.All three products indicate a greaternumber of households than that found in the 1990 censuscount (table L). Among the reasons for these differencesare survey weighting differences, sampling frame varia-tions, and reference month differences. After 1993, the

The 1994 household estimates, used as the startingpoint for the household projections, presented two chal-lenges: lack of household type detail, and ‘‘jump off’’ pointdifferences. In the first challenge, the household estimatesconsistent with the 1990 census as enumerated included

18Beginning in 1994, the Current Population Survey began using in itsbase population controls the 1990 census adjusted for undercount by thePost Enumeration Survey.

data only for the total number of U.S. households by 5-yearage groups; specific details, such as type of household andmarital status of householder, required to project the futurehousehold composition, were not available. Therefore,these items were obtained from the 1990 census andcarried forward based on proportional annual changes inthe CPS. For each year, 1990 through 1994, sums of thesedetailed household types were calculated; these sumsdiffered from the official estimates. To obtain estimates bytype consistent with the official total, the detailed household-type projections were multiplied by the ratio of their sums tothe official total estimates for each year.

The second challenge emerged in the first projectionyear, 1995. The difference between the total number ofhouseholds, controlled to the previous estimates (1990through 1994) and the projected number of householdswith no control produced dramatic shifts in the rate of

household change from 1994 to 1995, an artifact of differ-ent methodologies to arrive at the total number. Therefore,an overall check (by broad age group) was created byaveraging the annual modifications for the 5 overlappingyears (1990 through 1994) and then applying these aver-aged adjustments to the total projected number of house-holds by broad age group for every year from 1995 to 2010.

Demographic Assumptions

Various demographic factors influence trends in house-hold change. Age at first marriage influences the proportionof persons never married. Increased age at first marriagecan lead to an increase in the proportion of youngerpersons in nonfamily living arrangements, either livingalone or with roommates and can reduce the proportion ofpersons maintaining family households. Divorces can influ-ence household composition by leading to increases inadults forming their own households; that is, family house-holds with no spouse and nonfamily households, therebyreducing the proportion maintaining married-couple house-holds. The effect of nonmarital childbearing augments theproportion of family households with no spouse present,especially female family householders with children. Post-poned or foregone childbearing may also decrease theproportion of younger married couples with children anddelayed childbearing may increase the proportion of oldermarried couples with children. Longer life expectancy(assumed in the base population projections P25-1130)increases the proportion of married couples in older agesby deferring widowhood; however, differential increases inlife expectancy by sex can lead to more people living aloneat older ages. All of these demographic effects may beaccentuated by the changes in the age composition of thepopulation.

Although many of these demographic trends changeddramatically during the 1970’s and 1980’s, recent evidencesuggests some of these demographic components may beslowing and, in some cases, reversing themselves19. Hence,the following assumptions and rationale underlie the house-hold projections. First, age at first marriage will continue toincrease, but at a slower pace than previously. Since thelate 1970’s and early 1980’s, the quinquennial increases inpercent never married have become gradually smaller foryounger age groups (under 30). This suggests that wehave passed the peak in the rate of increase and mayexpect more modest future gains in age at first marriage.

Second, the divorce rate leveled off and declined slightlyafter 1979. This had an especially striking effect in reducingthe rate of change in the married-couple household pro-portions ages 20-44. As these cohorts become older duringthe next 15 years, a similar leveling can be expected at theolder ages. The leveling of divorce also moderates change

in the proportion of persons with children but no spouse inthe home, especially for women. Although the proportion ofmen maintaining other families has been increasing throughage 34, an acceleration of this trend seems unlikely.

Methodology

The methodology used to create the projections in thisreport employed five household-type matrices: married-couple household; female family household, no spousepresent; male family household, no spouse present; non-family, female householder; and nonfamily, male house-holder; and one marital status matrix (never married, evermarried). Each matrix contained proportions by the demo-graphic 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 PacificIslander), and Hispanic origin (Hispanic origin or not ofHispanic origin). The projected number of households bytype is the product of the proportions by type of householdand the household population at risk.

Compared to earlier household projection reports, dataused in this report are blended from a large number ofsources: the 1990 census, the 1959-1993 Current Popula-tion Surveys (CPS), estimates of the number of house-holds (1990-1994), population estimates (1990-1994), andpopulation projections (1995-2010).

Creation of the household population. By definition,the household population consists of the resident popula-tion excluding people living in group quarters (i.e., 9 ormore people living together who are unrelated to thehouseholder). Projections of the group quarters population(GQ) are calculated using constant rates (by single yearsof age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin) based on the 1990census.20 For each year, the GQ rates were applied tofuture populations by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin tocreate the projected group quarters population. The differ-ence between the projected resident population and theprojected group quarters population is the projected house-hold population. The projected population in householdswas then summed for each year to form the ten broad agegroups specified earlier and the under 15 population.

Creation of future proportions maintaining households.The proportions used in Series 1 were initially founded ona time series model. This model was based on estimates ofthe annual changes in householder proportions for the pastthree decades to project changes to the year 2010. Onehundred annual proportion series from 1959 to 1993 of

Creation of other family and nonfamily householdprojections. The universe for female family households,male family households, and nonfamily households is thetotal population in households minus the population inmarried-couple households (husbands and wives). Startingproportions from the 1990 census are created for eachhousehold type for the base year by age, sex, race, andHispanic origin. Then, projected proportions are created byapplying the annual change in the household formation bytype (based on time series data for Series 1; for Series 2and 3, the projected change is 1.0; that is, no change) tothe proportion in the previous year. The number of house-holds by type are derived by multiplying the annual propor-tions by the population for each year.

24As a technical refinement to take into account current data collectionprocedures which distinguish whether the husband or wife is listed as thereference person in a married-couple household, the following adjustmentwas made. The number of married-couple men and women was obtainedas the average number of males and females maintaining married-couplehouseholds. Using proportions of reported male and female householdersin married-couple households from the 1990 census, the sex of thehouseholder was determined for each age/race/origin group; the remain-der were classified as spouses.
