The number of homes in America with the traditional 'nuclear family' of a married couple with children is now the lowest it has been since 1959, according to Census data.
The Census Bureau's count showed that 17.8 percent of the United States' 130 million households featured married parents with children under the age of 18.
That's only down from 18.6 percent from last year but down much more significantly from over 40 percent in 1970.
There are currently just 23.1 million American homes with those 'nuclear families,' which is the fewest since 1959.
The reasons given for the drop include the pandemic delaying marriage and a continued decline in birth rate.

I rarely see little children anymore, and when I grew up in this (same house as my teen years) suburban neighborhood had children under 18 in majority of homes. It is very sad.
It’s all part of the Rat Party’s plan.
LBJs Great Society at work.
Our society is not reproducing itself. So we are now importing immigrants, including many Muslims. This is what the women’s rights movement has done to America, AND no one is really happy.
And therein lies the problems of our cultures. You gut the nuclear family, you gut the culture.
And the socialists rejoice
Oh BS. We don't need to import humans. GTFAFM.
Just like they planned.
No-fault divorce is a scam.
I have 14 baby mommas based on my latest count. It could be higher. I’ve always been very charitable. I started giving young unwed mothers their start as a young man, but since becoming older fewer are accepting of my donations.
“LBJs Great Society at work.”
I blame FDR. If you have Social Security to take care of you in old age it removes a primary reason people needed to have kids.
The affects of Liberalism upon society.
Further, self-serving bromides like "the kids will be better off not hearing mommy and daddy fight" is the sibling of "the aborted baby would have had a terrible life."
Taxpayers are forced to subsidize single mothers, leading to more single mothers.
A mark of dnc success, of which they are smugly proud. But they will reapply their efforts to totally eliminate man and woman households for children.Father and mother households were ordained y God. The dnc and globalist oligarchy hate God.
a Tsunami of pregnancy replacements are flooding across the borders at this very moment
we are speeding along with no brakes tailgating right behind Europe on the highway to hell
Once we allowed God to be driven out of the public square, this result was CERTAIN.
(also it’s interesting that Russia took the exact opposite approach as the west, bringing God back into the country, and that has turned their country around)

In 1959, I didn't know anyone who was not a member of a nuclear family.
