RealPage: The size of the average U.S. household is growing

For the first time since 1850, the average size of the U.S. household is on the rise, RealPage says. It’s not just the kids or Millennials, either. Households are growing and becoming multi-generational. Over the last century-and-a-half, household sizes have actually been shrinking, according to the data from the Census Bureau. But that trend reversed recently. In 2010, the average number of habitants in a house was 2.58, but in 2018, it was 2.63.
