The number of married couples with children under age 18 (a.k.a. nuclear families) continues its downward trajectory. There are now only 23.9 million nuclear families in the United States, according to the 2011 Current Population Survey, accounting for 20 percent of households. This is down from 26.4 million nuclear families in 2000, when they accounted for 25 percent of households.

Most Builder's know this, but haven't reacted to it. Lennar is one company that's actually building homes for the way we live today. Check out their plans on myFusionhome.com. The old suburban subdivision is both uninspiring and unsustainable. Lennar and Fusion are making a difference.
