Married couples comprised 78 percent of households in 1950, but this percentage dropped dramatically over the next forty years to a mere 53 percent in 1998. Also, the average size of American households has decreased over the recent years. About 57 percent of American households now only house one or two people, compared to an average of about 3.1 people in 1970 (USDS, 2001).
