Thus there will be a net gain of 6,000,000 housefidlds. In Census Bureau parlance a household is a head of family plus relatives, lodgers and others living under the same roof and scaring common household arrangements. Total U.

S. families in 1950 will be 41,000,000. The reason for the big increase in the number of families is the record marriage rate in the past few a year. This a 50 percent higher than in the late 1930's. Many of the newlyweds have put off setting up new households until more housing is available and their economic situation is better.

Reason for the breaking up of the 9,000,000 homes: Chiefly death and divorce.
