Census family

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the Canada Census such families consisting of a married couple and children are referred to as Census Families.[1] The US Census Bureau refers to such household structures as "Married couple families. "This particular demographis features the highest median household income in the United States.[2]

"Census family is defined as a married couple and the children, if any, of either or both spouses; a couple living common law and the children, if any, of either or both partners; or, a lone parent of any marital status with at least one child living in the same dwelling and that child or those children. All members of a particular census family live in the same dwelling. A couple may be of opposite or same sex. Children may be children by birth, marriage or adoption regardless of their age or marital status as long as they live in the dwelling and do not have their own spouse or child living in the dwelling. Grandchildren living with their grandparent(s) but with no parents present also constitute a census family."
