The rate of growth for number of households exceeds that of population, because the average number of people per household is expected to decrease over time, as illustrated in Table 2-2. The lower household size is reflective of a combination of young married couples who are waiting longer to have children and have fewer children and also an increasing number of empty nester parents whose children have grown and left home. The 2010 Census provides a demographic profile of the households in New Brighton as illustrated in Table 2-3. Of the 8,915 households in 2010, 5,907 or 64.3% were families, comprised mostly of married couples. Approximately 27% of the total households consist of families with children. The Census Data indicated that in 2010 35.7% of all households were non-family households. This is an increase from 34% in 2000. Table 2-2.
