How many Americans have children?

Answer 1

According to the 2000 Census, the average US family sizewas 3.14 people.

The average number of children per all families was only .90 child.

The average number of children in families with childrenwas 1.86 children.

So families with children tended toward 2 children, but not significantly if you allow for the number of families with MORE than 2. The number of families with 1 is likely close to the number of families with 2. More than half (52%) of ALL families had no minor children at all.

With changing Demographics, this number could be larger in the 2010 Census. Larger families would weight both averages upward.

Answer 2

As of 2006, the US Census Bureau reports a total of 77,402,000 family households. (The remainder are termed "non-family" households). Of this 77.4 million households, 30,201,000 do not have children of their own. 47,201,000 have children of their own. I did not research the number of households with someone else's children (for instance, relatives raising children, foster homes, etc.).
