In the North, about a quarter of households are families - Schleswig-Holstein sees record single-person households at 45% of homes
Nearly half of all households in Schleswig-Holstein are home to single-person residences, according to official statistics. But how many couples in the northern state live with children?
New data shows that over a quarter of households in Schleswig-Holstein—27 percent, to be precise—are families with one or more children. The figures come from the latest microcensus results, released today by the State Statistical Office of the North. Another 28 percent of households consist of couples without children, while the remaining 45 percent are single occupants.
Among families with children, nearly two-thirds (65 percent) were married couples, while 10 percent were unmarried partners, the office reported. A full 25 percent were single-parent households—of which 83 percent were headed by women and 17 percent by men.
