Document Summary

Their proportion has been steadily decreasing for the past 20 years. A census family is composed of a married couple, or common-law couple, with or without children, or a lone parent living with at least one child in the same dwelling. A couple can be of the opposite sex or of the same sex. Persons not in census families include persons living alone or individuals living with other relatives or non-relatives. In 2011, about one-fifth or 20% of people aged 15 and over did not live in a census family. Cohabiting couples with children, lone parents with children and legally married couples with children make up large portion of all canadian households.
