Rod - This isn't quite the same thing, but provides statistics that you could use for comparisons with your class. The data are from the 2000 census, from the Census Bureau website. The data are number and percentage of households, by "household size." To quote from their definitions, "This item is based on the count of people in occupied housing units. All people occupying the housing unit are counted, including the householder, occupants related to the householder, and lodgers, roomers, boarders, and so forth."
Best wishes, Warren Total households 105,539,122 100.0 1-person household 27,203,724 25.8 2-person household 34,261,844 32.5 3-person household 17,378,773 16.5 4-person household 15,041,414 14.3 5-person household 7,067,874 6.7 6-person household 2,815,726 2.7 7-or-more-person household 1,769,767 1.7 Average household size 2.59 (X) Average family size 3.14 (X) ------------------------------------------ Warren R.
