The composition of American households has shifted significantly since 1960 as fewer people have kids and the scale of economic resources has declined.

Today, the number of households without kids exceeds those with kids, a trend that first emerged in 2014. In addition, single-person households have broadly continued to incline, reaching 29% of the total last year. This figure has more than doubled over the past six decades.
