    Description

    The average temperature in the contiguous United States reached 55.5 degrees Fahrenheit (13 degrees Celsius) in 2024, approximately 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the 20th-century average. These levels represented a record since measurements started in 1895. Monthly average temperatures in the U.S. were also indicative of this trend. Temperatures and emissions are on the rise The rise in temperatures since 1975 is similar to the increase in carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. Although CO₂ emissions in recent years were lower than when they peaked in 2007, they were still generally higher than levels recorded before 1990. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and is the main driver of climate change. Extreme weather Scientists worldwide have found links between the rise in temperatures and changing weather patterns. Extreme weather in the U.S. has resulted in natural disasters such as hurricanes and extreme heat waves becoming more likely. Economic damage caused by extreme temperatures in the U.S. has amounted to hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars over the past few decades.

    Description

    The average American household consisted of 2.51 people in 2023.

    Households in the U.S.

    As shown in the statistic, the number of people per household has decreased over the past decades.

    The U.S. Census Bureau defines a household as follows: “a household includes all the persons who occupy a housing unit as their usual place of residence. A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room that is occupied (or if vacant, is intended for occupancy) as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live and eat separately from any other persons in the building and which have direct access from outside the building or through a common hall. The occupants may be a single family, one person living alone, two or more families living together, or any other group of related or unrelated persons who share living arrangements. (People not living in households are classified as living in group quarters.).”

    The population of the United States has been growing steadily for decades. Since 1960, the number of households more than doubled from 53 million to over 131 million households in 2023.

    Most of these households, about 34 percent, are two-person households. The distribution of U.S. households has changed over the years though. The percentage of single-person households has been on the rise since 1970 and made up the second largest proportion of households in the U.S. in 2022, at 28.88 percent.

    In concordance with the rise of single-person households, the percentage of family households with own children living in the household has declined since 1970 from 56 percent to 40.26 percent in 2022.

    Description

    Revision note

    Employment data has been revised since publication.

    November 2024: For DCMS sector data, please see: Economic Estimates: Employment and APS earnings in DCMS sectors, January 2023 to December 2023

    For Digital sector data, please see: Economic Estimates: Employment in DCMS sectors and Digital sector, January 2022 to December 2022

    October 2024: Following the identification of a minor error, the Labour Force Survey, July to September 2016 to 2020 data tables have been re-published for the digital sector. This affects data for 2019 only - data for 2016 and 2020 are not affected.

    Updated estimates for DCMS sectors have been re-published.

    Economic Estimates: Employment in DCMS sectors, April 2022 to March 2024.

    Although the original versions of the tables were published before the Machinery of Government changes in February 2023, these corrected tables have been re-published for DCMS sectors and the digital sector separately. This is because the digital sector is now a Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) responsibility.

    About

    The Economic Estimates in this release are a combination of National, Official, and experimental statistics used to provide an estimate of the contribution of DCMS Sectors to the UK economy.

    Content

    These statistics cover the economic contribution of the following DCMS sectors to the UK economy:

    • Creative Industries
    • Cultural Sector
    • Digital Sector
    • Gambling
    • Sport
    • Telecoms

    Tourism and Civil Society are included where possible.

    Users should note that there is overlap between DCMS sector definitions and that the Telecoms sector sits wholly within the Digital sector.

    The release also includes estimates for the Audio Visual sector and Computer Games sector for some measures.

    A definition for each sector is available in the associated methodology note along with details of methods and data limitations.

    Following updates to the underlying methodology used to produce the estimates for Weekly Gross Pay, Annual Gross Pay and the Gender Pay Gap, we have published revised estimates for employee earnings in the DCMS Sectors and Digital Sector from 2016 to 2020.

    We’ve published revised estimates for Weekly Gross Pay, Annual Gross Pay and the Gender Pay Gap. This was necessary for a number of reasons, including:

    • the creation of the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and the change to DCMS’s remit
    • necessary updates to bring the estimates in line with Office for National Statistics (ONS) methodology
    • to update 2020 Tourism estimates according to the latest Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) estimates
    • to correct minor errors

    Released

    These statistics were first published on 23 December 2021

    Feedback

    DCMS aims to continuously improve the quality of estimates and better meet user needs. DCMS welcomes feedback on this release. Feedback should be sent to DCMS via email at evidence@dcms.gov.uk.

Description

The average temperature in the contiguous United States reached 55.5 degrees Fahrenheit (13 degrees Celsius) in 2024, approximately 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the 20th-century average. These levels represented a record since measurements started in 1895. Monthly average temperatures in the U.S. were also indicative of this trend. Temperatures and emissions are on the rise The rise in temperatures since 1975 is similar to the increase in carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. Although CO₂ emissions in recent years were lower than when they peaked in 2007, they were still generally higher than levels recorded before 1990. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and is the main driver of climate change. Extreme weather Scientists worldwide have found links between the rise in temperatures and changing weather patterns. Extreme weather in the U.S. has resulted in natural disasters such as hurricanes and extreme heat waves becoming more likely. Economic damage caused by extreme temperatures in the U.S. has amounted to hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars over the past few decades.
