In 1970 about 70 percent of Americans lived in married households, but by 2012, a little under 50 percent of the population lived in married households. What accounts for the difference?
A) The Census Bureau is measuring households differently today.
B) It looks like fewer people get married, but fewer people get married by age 25. When comparing the numbers of "never married" at 45, they are the same for 1970 and 2012.
C) Fewer people are getting married in 2012 in all age groups.
D) The differences in numbers is not only due to marriage versus cohabitation but also because more men and more women live alone in 2012 than in 1970.
