Description

For all persons, FAMSTRUC1F reports the family structure according to familial relationship status and parental marital status if children are present. FAMSTRUC1F differs from FAMSTRUC2F in how it categorized unmarried parents with children. FAMSTRUC2F includes all cohabiting couple families in the same category, regardless of the adults' relationship to the child(ren) in the family. FAMSTRUC1F distinguishes between families consisting of unmarried parents who are related biologically or by adoption to all children in the family and a parent with her or his children and her or his partner, who is unrelated to the child(ren) present in the family.
