Excerpt
Excerpt: HIGHLIGHTS. Householders living alone had become the most common specific household structure in 2000, replacing the 1990 combination of householder, spouse, and natural and/or adopted children. Partners In 1990 and 2000, about threefourths of households with children contained a partner (spouse or unmarried partner) of the householder. During the 1990s, households without a partner grew faster (20 percent) than households with a partner (11 percent), and partner households where children were the only other members present grew slower (4 percent) than all other broad types.
