I wrote and turned in a rough draft of a college paper and used a stat we heard a couple of years back that 5?% of American house holds consist of two or fewer people. Now I am looking all over for that statistic to get the exact percentage as well as to be able to cite the source and can not seem to find it.:eek: Anyone out there know the exact percentage and where it came from so I can cite it in my paper???? Please help if you can.
TIA
 
You probably have to go to the US census report website. I will check and see if I can locate it for you.

Here it is on this page.
