We are pleased to announce the release of the Married-Couple Households by Nativity Status: 2011 brief. Based on data collected from the American Community Survey (ACS), this brief focuses on married-couple households, defined as households including a householder with a spouse present. The figures provided are from the 2011 ACS 1-Year estimates. There were approximately 56 million married-couple households in the U.S. in 2011. Among the mixed-nativity married-couple households - households with one native-born and one foreign-born spouse - the foreign born spouse was more likely to be the wife (55 percent) than the husband (45 percent). To access these and additional married-couple household statistics, please visit the Census Bureau's American FactFinder. For more information about the ACS, please visit the ACS Website.
The ACS provides reliable statistics that are indispensable to anyone who has to make informed decisions about the future. These statistics are required by all levels of government to manage or evaluate a wide range of programs, but are also useful for research, education, journalism, business and advocacy. If you have questions about this survey, please call our Customer Services Center on 1 (800) 923-8282. Thank you, American Community Survey Office U.S. Census Bureau |
