In 2022, 51 percent of Generation Z in the United States were White. In comparison, 48 percent of Gen Alpha were White in that year, making it the first generation that does not have a majority White population in the United States.

In a survey conducted from October 2021 to July 2022, respondents revealed that Gen Zers (or zoomers) were very conflicted about avoiding brands who do not take an active stance against racism. Gen Z who achieved a high education were both the most likely to avoid brands that don’t take an active stance against racism, and the most unlikely to avoid those brands.

According to a 2023 survey, Americans between 18 and 29 years of age were more likely to identify with the Democratic Party than any other surveyed age group. While 39 percent identified as Democrats, only 14 percent identified ad Republicans. However, those 50 and older identified more with the Republican Party.

The typical American picture of a family with 2.5 kids might not be as relevant as it once was: In 2023, there was an average of 1.94 children under 18 per family in the United States. This is a decrease from 2.33 children under 18 per family in 1960.

Familial structure in the United States

If there’s one thing the United States is known for, it’s diversity. Whether this is diversity in ethnicity, culture, or family structure, there is something for everyone in the U.S. Two-parent households in the U.S. are declining, and the number of families with no children are increasing. The number of families with children has stayed more or less constant since 2000.

Adoptions in the U.S.

Families in the U.S. don’t necessarily consist of parents and their own biological children. In 2021, around 35,940 children were adopted by married couples, and 13,307 children were adopted by single women.
