(Formerly "Households and Families")
Demographic characteristics of households and families are collected annually in the March Current Population Survey (CPS) for the Nation. Detailed information from recent surveys and historical trends in selected topics are listed below. More detail on household and family characteristics for states, metropolitan areas, and other geographic locations is collected in the decennial census.

NOTE: Due to several anomalies in the coding of parent pointers and relationship
to householder, there are several cells in the tables which show minor inconsistencies,
or where the totals will not agree with each other. For example, in Table C5, a few
children (several unweighted cases) appear under "Native child and parent"
while simultaneously appearing under "Living with neither parent." In another
instance, the total number of family groups with own children under 18 is given as
38,966 in Table FG3, but as 39,002 in Table FG7.
