[1] A household that has at least one member of the household related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption is a ‘Family household.’ Same-sex couple households are included in the family households category if there is at least one additional person related to the householder by birth or adoption. Same-sex couple households with no relatives of the householder present are tabulated in nonfamily households. Responses of ‘same-sex spouse’ were edited during processing to ‘unmarried partner.’
[2] ‘Nonfamily households’ consist of people living alone and households which do not have any members related to the householder.
[3] ‘Families’ consist of a householder and one or more other people related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. They do not include same-sex married couples even if the marriage was performed in a state issuing marriage certificates for same-sex couples. Same-sex couples are included in the families category if there is at least one additional person related to the householder by birth or adoption. Responses of ‘same-sex spouse’ were edited during processing to ‘unmarried partner.’ Same-sex couple households with no relatives of the householder present are tabulated in nonfamily households.
