PHOM Indicator Profile Report of Utah Population Characteristics: Household Structure

Why Is This Important?

The number of parents living with a child helps to determine the human and economic resources available to that child. Children who live with one parent are more likely to live in poverty than are children who grow up in households with two adults. Single parents also face specific challenges including lack of leisure time, increased need for child care, and stressed financial resources.

How Are We Doing?

Non-family households (either a householder living alone or with other, unrelated, persons) constituted less than a quarter (24.8%) of Utah households in the 2010 decennial census; the 2022 American Community Survey (ACS 1-year Table S1101) estimate was 26.5%. In 2010, of all Utah households, 7.8% were single householders with children; the 2022 ACS estimate was 4.9% (ACS 1-year Table CP02).
