Change in the Structure and Size of American Households: 1970 to 1985.

Santi, Lawrence L.

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v49 n4 p833-37 Nov 1987

Average household size in the United States fell steadily throughout the 1970s due to decrease in the size of family households during the first half of the decade, and proportional decline of married-couple households during the second half of the decade. The slower rate of decline in the 1980s represents a continuation of these trends. (Author/KS)
