Family Type

Families are classified by type according to sex of the householder and the presence of relatives, based on questions on sex and household relationship asked on a complete-count basis.

Married-couple family

A family in which the householder and his/her spouse are enumerated as members of the same household.

Other family

Male householder, no wife present

A family with a male householder and no spouse of householder present.

Female householder, no husband Present

Family with a female householder and no spouse of householder present.

Historical comparability

The terminology for the family-type categories is new for 1980. The categories are reasonably compatible with the 1970 categories, "husband-wife families," "families with other male head," and "families with female head."
