最近美国人口调查军(Census Bereau)公布了本年度的美国社会家庭结构调查报告(America Community Survey)。总结一下,附上些其它资料。
美国现有三亿两千七百万人(327,167,439),一亿两千一百万个(社会)家庭(121,520,180),平均家庭人口是2.63。

传统家庭约84%有孩子,然而18至24岁(大学到大学毕业初期)的青年54%与父母同居(寄居),25至34岁(千禧辈)16%的中青年与父母同居(寄居)。这份调查说千禧辈22%,约五百六十万,与父母同居(寄居)(2017),远高于2000年的12%

独身家庭(未婚,无子女)数目在增加,约三千五百七十万(总人口11%),但这里包括独居寡居的老人:65岁以上单身老人约一千一百万,占老人的28%
美国养老院费用昂贵,水平也不高,不知道是否这个原因,美国老人都宁愿留在家里,除了养老本身是个巨大的社会问题,老人蒙骗也日益严重,最近中文蒙骗电话也不断,可见一斑。

但皮尤报道今年首次美国平均家庭人口数反弹:

但就过去十几年来生育率不断下降的趋势来看,这难以持久
![Waiting to Get Married](https://www.census.gov/content/census/en/library/visualizations/2018/comm/married/jcr:content/map.detailitem.950.high.jpg/1542225132080.jpg)
晚婚成风气,25至34岁间已婚有29%(1978年这数目是59%),未婚同居的有15%,18至24岁间也有9%未婚同居(这也是一种较为正式的关系)。32%15岁以上的人口是未婚(这个统计有点怪,15岁太低了)
结了婚的夫妻数目在增加,因为人口一直在增加:

但结婚率是在下降的:

有趣的美国重婚在增加:

跨种族婚姻在增加:

“同居”:这个数字较含糊,上图说8百万,这里看上去过千万,报道说8.5百万。

地区流通性(搬迁到另一个地区)在下降,这是美国过去几十年社会流动性(能力),也就是生活水平提高的能力不景气的主要指标之一

家庭收入中值是$63179,世界上是高位
![Working for a Living](https://www.census.gov/content/census/en/library/visualizations/2019/comm/working-for-a-living/jcr:content/map.detailitem.950.high.jpg/1566935464984.jpg)
最大的行业。自驾车被认为是对男性就业最大的威胁,有可能导致社会动乱
这是个收入具体分布表:

教育:

最后提提种族分类,数据有两个分法,我是没看明白:

第一种分法根本没有“拉美裔”这么一项。
