Housing Characteristics of One-Parent Households 1989.

摘要

The report presents social, economic, and physical housing characteristics of households represented by one-parent family groups. It is based on data collected from the 1989 American Housing Survey (AHS). Single-parent family groups represent households in two distinct types of situations: family households and subfamilies. The first section of the report focuses on family households with own children in the primary family. Either one or two parents can maintain these households with own children. The second section provides a brief overview of housing characteristics of single-parent subfamilies. The definition used in the AHS report includes only subfamilies that are related to the householder and excludes subfamilies that are unrelated. Unrelated subfamilies in the AHS are referred to as secondary subfamilies.
