Abstract: The share of adults who live alone is on the rise (Vespa, Lewis & Kreider, 2013), in part due to changes in marriage and divorce in the United States (FP-21-24). This Family Profile examines sociodemographic variation among single adults living alone in midlife (ages 30-59) in 2021 using data from the 2021 ASEC Current Population Survey from IPUMS-CPS. We begin with single adults who are not married or cohabiting and focus on those who are living alone (excluding those living with other adults such as parents, siblings, roommates, etc.). We begin by showing the share of adults 30-59 who are single and their living arrangements by age group, and then present marital status and home ownership variation by age group and gender among single adults living alone.
