Families in America presents a wide selection of information from the American Community Survey that helps us describe American living arrangements, relationships, marriages, births, children, and incomes. Each section includes a large selection of information for the United States, the 50 states, and the District of Columbia. This is followed by a more limited selection of data for 381 metropolitan areas, 980 counties with populations of 50,000 or more, and 795 cities with populations of 50,000 or more.
