The number of households in the United States grew by only 9.3 percent over the past 10 years—from 118 million in 2010 to 128 million in 2020. This is the slowest household growth on record, capped off by the first ever annual decline in households between 2019 and 2020.
Number of households, 2010 and 2020 (in 000s)
| 2020 | 2010 | percent change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total households | 128,451 | 117,538 | 9.3% |
| With children under 18 | 33,464 | 35,218 | -5.0 |
The number of households with children under age 18 fell by nearly 1.8 million during the decade. Behind the decline is the ongoing baby-bust, which is predicted to deepen as coronavirus further reduces births.
