Families and households in the UK: 2018
Sophie Sanders, Head of Demographic Analysis at ONS, said:
“The number of families and households in the UK has continued to rise in line with the growth of the UK population over the past decade. However, the ways that people live have been changing.
“While married couple families remain the most common, cohabiting couples are the fastest growing family type as people increasingly choose to live together before, or without, getting married.
“There are also more people living alone than ever before, an increasing number of same-sex couple families and more young adults living with their parents.”
