Families and Living Arrangements The Census Bureau collects data about American families for the nation, states and communities. Our statistics describe trends in household and family composition, and show the number of children, young adults and couples living in the United States.
Although terms like "families" and "households" are familiar to all of us, they are used in particular ways in Census Bureau products. See below for definitions of some commonly used terms. The glossary below may define terms not included in the main Glossary on census.gov The main Glossary on census.gov provides official definitions covering all topics, censuses, surveys and programs.

Data from the annual release of America’s Families and Living Arrangements also show that 80% of one-parent family groups were maintained by a mother. The marital history of the parent who maintained one-parent family groups differed for fathers and mothers in 2022.

The probability of moving nearly tripled after a divorce. Sampled families relocated to neighborhoods with 7% lower incomes and fewer economic opportunities. The researchers also found that divorce increased the average distance between children and their nonresident parent by 100 miles on average, a gap that widened to over 200 miles after 10 ...
DEC. 2, 2020 — Newly released estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau’s annual America’s Families and Living Arrangements release show that the number of parents with children under age 18 and living at home declined by about 3 million over the past decade, dropping from about 66.1 million parents in 2010 to 63.1 million in 2020.
Columbia Glacier, located about 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of Valdez near the epicenter of the great 1964 earthquake, is rapidly losing its battle for survival. It is the last of Alaska's 52 tidewater glaciers to begin its epic retreat from the sea. Granted, Alaska still has plenty of glaciers left, but the tidewater glaciers--those that empty directly into the sea--are on a drastic decline ...
The Columbia Glacier is one of Alaska's better known tidewater glaciers, both from the standpoint of tourist attraction and the model it provides for scientific investigation. In 1973 it became the object of close scientific scrutiny. In Alaska, some 50 to 60 glaciers calve into the sea, but exhibit such diversified behavior that they have baffled glaciologists for decades. For instance, some ...
The team analyzed 20 years of Columbia Glacier’s seismic activity to learn what these signals can reveal about changes in the glacier and the conditions that drive them. The glacier has been retreating since the early 1980s after approximately 200 years of stability. The findings were published March 22 in Geophysical Research Letters.
The big daddy came in 1971. Project Cannikin was a 5-megaton explosion that inspired the formation of the group Greenpeace, a group of environmentalists from British Columbia who joined together to oppose the test. But Greenpeace and many others-including Alaska senator Mike Gravel and Congressman Nick Begich-were not able to prevent Cannikin.
Columbia Glacier in Prince William Sound and Bering Glacier in the St. Elias Mountains are two glaciers losing ice at an alarming rate: during the past decade, Columbia has shrunk by an average of about 21 feet per year along the length of the glacier; Bering has lost more than 9 feet per year.
For comparison, that's right ahead of the Columbia in area drained and right after it in discharge. (The Columbia River also needs Canada to gain its rank; its source is in British Columbia.) Two Yukon tributaries also make the list. The Porcupine ranks 20th in drainage area, and the Tanana is number 16 for average discharge.
Alaska is more than twice the size of the largest of the lower 48 states, and the amount of Alaska underlain by permafrost is equal to the size of three Californias. Ten states are smaller than the area covered by glaciers in Alaska. If glaciers of the adjacent Yukon Territory and British Columbia that connect to Alaska's ice fields (often referred to as the Alaska-Yukon glaciers) are added ...
These trees, which can live longer than 1,000 years, grow on the rainy coast from the Oregon/California border through British Columbia and as far north as Prince William Sound. The giants have in many areas died in large numbers, puzzling scientists who later came up with a non-intuitive theory of what killed them.
