I'm working on the Demographics Element of the comp plan right now.
I'd like to find breakdowns of average/median family size in the US from 1900 through 2000, or even for recent decades. I'm trying to reassure inner ring suburbs with declining populations that they aren't dying, but rather family sizes and living patterns are changing.
I'm not looking for the answer itself (I don't want you to do the work for me), but where I can find it; I can't seem to ferret out the data from the US Census Web site.
