Oh, oh, I started a trend – posting to the blog something related to singles for every day of singles week – and I am running out of time because I have other things going on.

Well, here are a few more stats from the 2000 Census:

• A little more than a quarter of all families in the U.S. involve no married couple.
• 7% of families are headed by a male householder, 49% of those include own
  children under 18
• 19% of families are headed by a female householder, 59% of those include
  own children under 18

That’s all for today… Sorry, I am tired… 😉

Note:
These stats are now updated with the 2007 American Community Survey.

Also see the Alternatives to Marriage Project press release – lots more facts.
