Household Formation and Unrelated Housemates

Abstract

An economic approach to household formation in the United States among unrelated individuals not living in consensual unions is presented. Data are from the March 1980 Current Population Survey. Factors considered include income and housing costs. The results suggest that the incidence of unrelated housemates is more common among householders who are male; unmarried; living in the west, north central, or southern regions of the United States; and living outside the largest SMSAs.
