MARITAL STATUS AND LIVING ARRANGEMENTS: MARCH 1976

INTRODUCTION

Annual reports published by the Census Bureau on the marital status and living arrangements of the population portray trends in behavior of adults rela­tive to marriage, dissolution of marriage, and house­hold formation. Survey results over the last several years have indicated that fundamental changes are occurring in marriage and family living. Whether or not these changes represent only a temporary de­parture from past norms or the emergence of new and lasting lifestyles, the fact of their existence has importan·t implications for current social and economic programs and for the future of such programs.

and sex, family relationship, presence of parents for persons under 18 years old, and household living ' arrangements. The text highlights information on recent increases in age at first marriage; in the per­cent remaining single among young adults; in marital disruption through divorce; in the growth rate of "nonfamily" households; in the incidence of unre­lated persons of the opposite sex sharing living quar­ters; in the number of families headed by women with no husband present; and in the number of chi ldren who live in families where only one parent is present.

This report presents detailed statistics on the marital status and living arrangements of the nonin­stitutional population of the Un ited States. The report includes information on the marital status of the population 14 years old and over by age, race,

The data presented in this report were derived from the March 1976 Current Population Survey (CPS) conducted by the Bureau of the Census and are subject to sampling variability, which may be relatively large for the smaller figures and for small differences between figures. For a further discussion of sampling variability see the section on "Reli­ability of the Estimates" in the appendix.

AGE AT FIRST MARRIAGE

During the 16 years spanning 1960 to 1976, the estimated median age at which young men and women first marry increased by about one full year (from 22.8 years to 23.8 years for men and from 20.3 to 21.3 years for women). This and other trends observed in related statistical indicators re­flect a general movement among young adults away from early marriage. For example, the estimates of the quartile ages at first marriage (the ages by which one-fourth and three-fourths of those who ever marry do so) shown in table B indicate a movement 'In the direction of later age at first marriage. The central range of years during which most first mar­riages occur (interquartile range) is somewhat larger for men (6.4 years in 1976) than for women (5.8 years in 1976). However, in recent years this interval has broadened more fo r women than for men. This widening may be attributable, in part, to the increas­ing proportion of women who exercise options to advance their education and to gain employment prior to marriage.

Additional evidence of the changing behavior of men and women relative to first marriage is shown in table C. The proportion of the adult population under 35 years old vyho !!_ad never married increased between 1960 and 1976, while the proportion never married among persons 35 and over declined. Some of the increase in the percent single among the younger group is simply a function of changes in the age distribution resulting from the entry into adult

ages of members of the large birth cohorts born dur­ing the high fertility years extending from the late 1940's through the early 1960's. Nevertheless, a closer inspection of the figures, particularly those for the age groups in which mqst first marriages take place, indicates a trend towards longer periods of singleness among young adults than in the past. The percent single for men 20 to 24 years old rose from 53 percent in 1960 to 62 percent in 1976 and from 28 percent to 43 percent during the same period for 20- to 24-year-old women. Furthermore, since 1970 the percent single among 25- to 29-year-old men and women has increased, perhaps indicating that not only has later marriage gained general acceptance but also that a higher proportion of adults will never marry during their lifetime.

DIVORCE RATIO

Another major development in recent years re­garding marriage statistics has been a dramatic in­crease in the incidence of divorce. The National Center for Health Statistics has estimated that the divorce rate more than doubled in the last dozen years, from 2.3 per 1,000 population in 1963 to 4.8 in 1975. In March 1976 there were 2.8 million men and 4.4 million women who were reported as cur­rently divorced (and who had not remarried) at the ti me of the survey. Table D shows that there were 75 divorced persons per every 1,000 persons who were partners in an intact marriage in 1976, twice as high as the corresponding ratio (35) for 1960. More­over, this ratio has risen more in the last 6 years than during the entire 1960-to-1970 decade.

In 1976 men had a lower ratio of divorced per­sons per 1,000 married persons who were living with their spouse than did women. This difference seems largely a consequence of the greater likelihood of remarriage among men but may also reflect, to some extent, differences between the sexes in the report­ing of current marital status. White persons had lower ratios than persons of Black and other races, and persons 45 years old and over had lower ratios than persons under 45. The latter difference is especially interesting since it represents a reversal of the past relationship between younger and older per­sons with respect to the : "divorced/married spouse present" ratio. For example, only 6 years ago the ratio was higher for persons 45 and over than for those under 45. This directional change is appar­ently a result of relatively large recent increases in divorce among young adults. A fuller discussion of the frequency of divorce among younger and older adults appears in Current Population Reports, Series P-20, No. 297, "Number, Timing, and Duration of Marriages and Divorces in the United States: June 1975" issued in October 1976.

MARITAL STATUS OF PRIMARY INDIVIDUALS

In recent years the rapid growth in the number of households maintained by primary individuals (per­sons who either live alone or with persons not re-

lated to them) appears to be associated with ob­served changes in marital status. Primary individual households have increased by about 40 percent since 1970, whi le the total number of households in­creased by only 15 percent. As s~own in table E, male primary individuals increased by nearly 2.5 million and female primary individuals by 2.4 mil­lion between 1970 and 1976. For men, these in-. creases have been largely concentrated among di­vorced and single persons (80 percent of the total increase), whereas for women, the increase among divorced and single was about the same as that for widowed and married, spouse absent. For the youngest age group shown (under 35 years), the largest numerical increases were recorded for never­married men and women, whereas in the middle age range (35 to 64 years) the largest increases were for divorced men and women. The data for primary individuals 65 years old and over indicate that "widowed" has been and continues to be the pre­dominant marital status for this age group.

UNRELATED ADULTS SHARING TWO-PERSON HOUSEHOLDS

As indicated above, the number of households containing primary individuals has increased by about 40 percent since 1970. During the same period the number of primary individuals who shared their living quarters with a person of the opposite sex approximately doubled (table F).

In 1976, 1.3 million persons lived in the 660,000 two-person households in wh ich the household head shared the living quarters with an unrelated adult of the opposite sex. Seven of every 10 of these house­holds had a male primary individual reported as the head, representing about one-half of all two-person households headed by a male primary individual. Thirty-five percent of all female primary individuals in two-person households lived with a person of the opposite sex in 1976. Seventy-two percent of the male primary individuals and 48 percent of the female primary individuals who lived with a person of the opposite sex were under 45 years old. Data in table 6 of this report show that similar proportions of men and women, about 48 percent of the men and 43 percent of the women, who headed house­holds containing one other unrelated member of the opposite sex were reported as having never been married.

Although the increas~ in th is type of living ar­rangement is notable and relevant to the study of household and family formation, caution should be exercised in interpreting the magnitude of the statis­tics. In order to maintain a proper perspective, it should be noted that among primary individuals in 1976, 89 percent lived alone, 9 percent lived in two-person households, and the remaining primary individuals lived in three-or-more-person households. Thus, in a general sense, unrelated adults of the

opposite sex sharing living quarters as a household represent only about 4 percent of all primary indi­viduals and only about 1 percent of all household heads. Moreover, data users who make inferences about the nature of the relationships between unre­lated adults of the opposite sex who share the same living quarters should be made aware that the data on this subject are aggregates which are distributed over a spectrum of categories including partners, resident employees, and roomers.

FEMALE FAMILY HEADS AND CHILDREN LIVING WITH ONLY ONE PARENT

Families headed by women who have no husband present represent a growing proportion of all fami­lies in this country . For many women, being a fe­male family head is a transit ional status which often subsequently changes by entry into first marriage for never-married women , reconciliation for sepa­rated women, and remarriage for divorced or wid­owed women. Nevertheless, many more women are passing through this increasingly common life cycle stage than in the past. Effective response to the needs of these women and their family members (particularly their children) re lative to employment, welfare, education, child care arrangements, and a variety of related social and economic requirements constitutes a major challenge to governmental and private agency planners and service personnel.

There were about one-third again as many female family heads in 1976 as in 1970. One-half of the 7.5 million women heading families in 1976 were re­ported as either divorced or separated at the time of the survey as compared with 39 percent in 1970. White female family heads increased by 29 percent and Black female family heads by 45 percent be­tween 1970 and 1976. In 1976 these two groups represented 11 and 36 percent of all White and Black families, respectively . Among White female family heads, the largest proportional increases be­tween 1970 and 1976 were for divorced and sepa­rated women, whereas the largest increases recorded among Black female heads were for divorced and single women.

Eighty percent of the children under 18 years old in 1976 lived in families with both of their parents present, a decline from 85 percent in 1970. All but 15 oercent of the White children lived with two parents m ·r ~76 as compared with only one-half of the Black children. Most children not living with both parents lived with their mother. White children living with a mother only most frequently had a divorced mother, and Black children living with a mother only most frequently had a mother who was separated.

APPENDIX

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS

Coverage. The population in this report includes the civilian noninstitutional population of the United States plus approximately 914,000 members of the Armed Forces in the United States living off post or with their families on post in 1976, but excludes all other members of the Armed Forces. However, the data in tables A and Bon median and quartile ages at first marriage for males refer to the total male population, which includes, in addition to the above, the male members of the Armed Forces overseas and in military barracks and similar quar­ters in the United States.

Symbols. A dash "-" represents zero, and the symbol "Z" indicates that the figure is less than 0.05 percent. The symbol "B" means that the base for the derived figure is less than 75,000. An "X" means not applicable, and "NA" means not avail­able.

Rounding of estimates. Individual figures are rounded to the nearest thousand without being ad­justed to group totals, which are independently rounded; percentages are based on the unrounded numbers.

Farm-nonfarm residence. The farm population re­fers to rural residents living on farms. The method of determining farm-nonfarm residence in the present survey and in the Current Population Sur­veys since March 1960 is the same as that used in the 1960 and 1970 censuses but differs from that used in earlier surveys and censuses. Since March 1960 in the Current Population Surveys, farm resi­dence has been determined by the responses to two questions. Owners are asked "Does this place have 10 or more acres?" and renters are asked "Does the place you rent have 10 or more acres?" If the re­sponse is "Yes," the respondent is asked "During the past 12 months, did sales of crops, livestock, and other farm products from this place amount to $50 or more?" If the acreage response is "No," the in­quiry relates to sales of $250 or more. Rural persons in motels and tourist camps, and those living on rented places where no land is used for farming, are not classified as farm population. The nonfarm pop­ulation, as the term is used here, comprises persons living in urban areas and rural persons not on farms.

Although the method of determining farm­nonfarm residence has not changed since March 1960, the underlying sampling methods and estima­tion procedures have changed. For a discussion of changes see Employment and Earnings, Volume 18, No. 8, February 1972, pp. 6-9, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Age. The age classification is based on the age of the person at the person's last birthday.

Race. The population is divided into three groups on the basis of race: White, Black, and "other races." The last category includes Indians, Japanese, Chinese, and any other race except White and Black.

Persons of Spanish origin. Persons of Spanish origin in this report were determined on the basis of a question that asked for self-identification of the person's origin or descent. Respondents were asked to select their origin (or the origin of some other household member) from a "flash card" I isting ethnic origins. Persons of Spanish origin, in particu­lar, were those who indicated that their origin was Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or some other Spanish origin.

Marital status. The marital status classification identifies four major categories: single, married, widowed, and divorced. These terms refer to the marital status at the time of the enumeration.

The category "married" is further divided into "married, spouse present," "separated," and "other married, spouse absent." A person was classified as "married, spouse present" if the husband or wife was reported as a member of the household, even though he or she may have been temporarily absent on business or on vacation, visiting, in a h·ospital, etc., at the time of the enumeration. Persons re­p()rted as separated included those with legal separa­tions, those living apart with intentions of obtaining a divorce, and other persons permanently or tem­porarily separated because of marital discord. The group "other married, spouse absent" includes mar­ried persons living apart because either the husband or wife was employed and living at a considerable distance from home, was serving away from home in the Armed Forces, had moved to another area, or had a different place of residence for any other reason except separation as defined above.

Husband in Armed Forces. When a woman was reported as married but her husband was not enu­merated as a member of the same household , an additional question was asked to determine whether her husband was in the Armed Forces. Women who were reported as separated were not asked the addi­tional question.

Age at first marriage. The median age at first mar­riage, as shown in this report, is an approximation derived indirectly from tabulations of marital status and age. In computing this median, several steps are involved. First, the expected proportion of young people who will ever marry during their lifetime is computed. Second, one-half this expected propor­tion is calculated. Third, the current age of young people who are at this halfway mark is computed. From the assumptions made and the procedures used, it follows that the date of the survey is also the date when this halfway mark is reached. Half of the young people of the given age who will ever get married had done so prior to the survey date and half are expected to marry in years to come.

The quartile ages at first marriage divide people who will ever marry into four equal groups. The first quartile age is the age at which 25 percent of per­sons have married, the second quartile age (or median age) is the age at which 50 percent of per­sons have married, and the third quartile age is the age at which 75 percent of persons have married. The quartile ages are computed from the same distri­butions and involve the same assumptions as do the median ages.

In estimating the proportion of young people who will eventually marry, errors of 3 or 4 percent­age points would affect the final estimate of the median age at first marriage by only 0.1 or 0.2 of a year. For convenience, the proportion ever married among persons 45 to 54 years old was used. Other age combinations could have been used with little change in the results, so long as they included very few persons who would subsequently marry for the first time.

Data on marital status were available by single years of age in censuses and by 5-year age groups in the sample surveys. Sprague's fifth difference inter­polation formula was used to estimate the percent ever married by tenths of a year of age from census­figures and from the sample survey data. Since the interpolation was based on the percent ever married for 5-year age groups in the survey data, and since this percent is sensitive to changes in the distribu­tion by single years of age within the age groups when most first marriages take place, the resulting

median age at first marriage from the survey may fluctuate sharply in response to the major changes that have recently taken place in the age composi­tion of the 20- to 24-year-old age group.

The median age at first marriage computed from data on either annual marriage records or census questions on age at first marriage involves people over the full age span rather than just those in the vicinity of the halfway point. Median ages at first marriage based on these other records may be affected by changes in the age distribution of the population, whereas the median age at first marriage for a given date shown in the present report can be interpreted as applying to the cohort born "n" years earlier, where "n" is the median age at first marri­age. Data on age at first marriage are available from marriage records only for certain States and from census questions only for selected dates.

When the figures on median and quartile ages at first marriage for different years are compared, cau­tion should be exercised in the interpretation of small changes. Because of sampling variability of the survey data and the limitations of the estimating technique itself, the errors in the estimates of the median age may be slightly larger than annual changes of one- or two-tenths of a year of age. More­over, there is evidence that computation of the median age at first marriage for men in some years is affected by changes in the distribution by single years of age within the age groups when most first marriages take place; changes of up to one-half year in the median for men may reflect this factor rather than any real change taking place in the ages of men at first marriage.

Household. A household consists of all the per­sons who occupy a housing unit. A house, an apart­ment, or other group of rooms, or a single room, is regarded as a housing unit when it is occupied or intended for occupancy as separate living quarters; that is, when the occupants do not live and eat with any other persons in the structure and there is either ( 1) direct access from the outside or through a com­mon hall or (2) a kitchen or cooking equipment for the exclusive use of the occupants.

A household includes the related family members and all the unrelated persons, if any, such as lodgers, foster children, wards, or employees who share the housing unit. A person living alone in a housing unit, or a group of unrelated persons sharing a housing unit as partners, is also counted as a household. The count of households excludes group quarters.

...

Page 57: Marital Status and Living Arrangements: March 1976 · marital status and living arrangements of the nonin stitutional population of the United States. The report includes information

Group quarters. Group quarters are defined as non institutional living arrangements for groups con­taining five or more persons unrelated to the person in charge. Inmates of institutions (starting in 1972) are not included in the Current Population Survey.

Family status. Within households, persons who are family members are distinguished from those who are not family members. A family is defined as a group of two or more persons residing together who are related by blood, marriage, or adoption; all such persons are considered as members of one family even though they may include a "subfamily," that is, a married couple or a parent-child group sharing the living quarters of the family head. A primary family includes among its members the head of a household, and a "secondary family" in­cludes no member related to the household head. Members of secondary families may include persons such as lodgers, guests, or resident employees and their relatives living in a household.

Persons living with relatives in group quarters were formerly considered as members of secondary families. However, the number of such families be­came so small (37,000 in 1967) that beginning with CPS data for 1968 (and beginning with census data for 1960) the Bureau of the Census includes persons in these families in the count of secondary indivi­duals.

In this report, persons who are not family mem­bers (that is, are not recognized as living with any relatives) are "unrelated individuals." Unrelated individuals are of two types-primary and secon­dary. A "primary individual" is a household head with no relatives in the household. A "secondary individual" is a lodger, partner, guest, or resident employee with no relatives in the household or group quarters.

Income. For the noninstitutional population 14 years old and over, questions were asked on the amount of money income received in 1975. The amounts received represent income before deduc­tions for personal taxes, Social Security, bonds, etc. A lthough the income statistics refer to receipts dur­ing 1975, the characteristics of the person, such as age, marital status, etc., refer to March 1976,.

Years of school completed. In this report, data on years of school completed were derived from the combination of answers to two questions, (a) "What is the highest grade of school that the person has attended?" and (b) "Did the person finish this grade?"

53

The questions on educational attainment appl ied only to progress in "regular" schools. Such schools include public, private, and parochial elementary and high schools (both junior and senior high), col­leges, universities, and professional schools, whether day schools or night schools. Thus, "regular" school­ing is that which advances a person toward an ele­mentary or high school diploma, or a college, uni­versity, or professional school degree. Schooling in other than regular schools was counted only if the credits obtained were regarded as transferable to a school in the regular school system.

COMPARABILITY OF ESTIMATES FROM MARCH 1976 CPS WITH ESTIMATES

FOR PRECEDING YEARS

The data for 1976 collected in the March 1976 Current Population Survey (CPS) are, in some instances, not entirely comparable to figures for earlier years because of revisions in the Current Population Survey. Starting in January 1972, 1970 census-based population controls, metropolitan residence definition, and other materials were intro­duced into the sample and estimation procedures. The major item affecting comparability at the overall national level is the introduction of popu­lation controls based on the 1970 census. Figures for previous years are t ied in with 1960 census-based population controls. Basically, these changes should have no substantial impact on summary measures, such as medians and means, and on proportional measures, such as percent distributions. However, the changes may have more impact on the popu­lation levels in different subgroupings such as the total number of persons or families either overall, or within some particular category.

SOURCE AND RELIABILITY OF THE ESTIMATES

Source of data. Most of the estimates in this report are based on data from the Bureau of the Census collected in the Current Population Survey (CPS), supplemented by data from the Department of Defense. Data shown in the tables based on Decennial Censuses are footnoted. Estimated di­vorce rates for 1963 and 1975 were obtained from the National Center for Health Statistics.

Current population survey (CPS). The following table provides a description of some aspects of the Current Population Survey design. The present sample was in itially selected from 1970 census files and has been updated continuously to reflect new construction where possible (see -section "Nonsam­pling variabil ity" below).

The estimating procedure used for CPS data involves the inflation of weighted sample results to independent estimates of the civilian noninsti­tutional population of the United States by age, race, and sex. For October 1971 to the present, the independent estimates are based on : statistics from the 1970 Census of Population; statistics on births, deaths, immigration, and emigration; and statistics on the strength of the Armed Forces. For data collected in the Current Population Surveys between March 1962 and September 1971, the independent estimates used were based on statistics from the 1960 Census of Population. For data collected between February 1954 and February 1962, the independent estimates used were based on statistics from the 1950 Census of Population. For data appearing in this report from 1948 to January 1954, the independent estimates used were based on statistics from the 1940 Census of Population.

Decennial census of population. Decennial Census data in this report are based on complete counts and thus have no sampling error.

Vital statistics data. Data on the total number of divorces that occurred in the United States in 1963 and 1975 appearing in this report are published by the National Center for Health Statistics. They are estimates based on the States in the Divorce Reg­istration Area, weighted to the national level.

Reliability of the estimates. Since the CPS esti­mates in this report are based on samples, they may differ somewhat from the figures that would have been obtained if a complete census had been taken using the same schedules, instructions, and enumera­tors. There are two types of errors possible in an

estimate based on a sample survey-sampling and nonsampling. For estimates in this report, indi­cations of the magnitude of sampling error are provided but the extent of nonsampling error is unknown.

Nonsampling variability. As in any survey work, the results are subject to errors of response and nonreporting in addition to sampling variability. Nonsampling errors can be attributed to many sources, e.g., inability to obtain information about all cases in the sample, definitional difficulties, differences in the interpretation of questions, in­ability or unwillingness to provide correct infor­mation on the part of respondents, inability to recall information, mistakes made in collection such as in recording or coding the data, mistakes made in processing the data, mistakes made in estimating values for missing data, and failure to represent all units with the sample (undercoverage) . The approxi­mate magnitude of two sources of undercoverage in CPS is known and is described next.

Approximately 600,000 conventional new con­struction units were issued building permits prior to the 1970 census but building was not completed by the tim-e-of the census (i.e., April 1970); these units have no representation in the CPS samplE.'. Con­ventional new construction, for which building permits were issued after the census, is represented. In addition to undercoverage of conventional new construction, CPS misses at least 200,000 new mobile homes. These are missed because there is no systematic sampling procedure to provide repre­sentation of mobile homes constructed since the 1970 census.

Sampling variability. The standard errors given in the tables are primarily measures of sampling varia­bility, that is, of the variations that occur by chance because a sample rather than the whole of the population is surveyed. As calculated for this report, the standard error also partially measures the effect of certain response and enumerating errors, but it does not measure, as such, any systematic biases in the data. The chances are about 68 out of 100 that an estimate from the sample would differ from a complete census figure by less than the standard error. The chances are about 90 out of 100 that this difference would be less than 1.6 times the standard error, and about 95 out of 100 that the difference would be less than twice the standard error.

All statements of comparison involving CPS data appearing in the text are significant at a 1.6 standard error level or better, and most are significant at a level of more than 2.0 standard errors. This means that for most differences cited in the text, the estimated difference is greater than twice the stan­dard error of the difference. Statements of com­parison qualified in some way (e.g., by the use of the phrase, "some evidence") have a level of significance between 1.6 and 2.0 standard errors.

Note when using small estimates. Percent distri­butions are shown in the report only when the base of the percentage is 75,000 or greater. Because of the large standard errors involved, there is little chance that percentages would reveal useful infor­mation when computed on smaller bases. The reliability of an estimated percentage, computed by using sample data for both numerator and denomi­nator, depends upon both the size of the percentage and the size of the base of the percentage. Estimated percentages are relatively more reliable than the corresponding estimates of the numerators of the percentages, particularly if the percentages are 50 percent or more. Estimated totals are shown even though the relative standard errors of these totals are larger than those for corresponding percentages. These smaller estimates are provided primarily to permit such combinations of the categories as serve each user's needs. Consequently, particular care should be exercised in the interpretation of figures based on a relatively small number of cases or on small differences between estimates.

Comparability with other data. Data obtained from the CPS are not entirely comparable with data obtained from other surveys and sources due in a large part to differences in interviewer training and experience and survey processes. These differences

55

are additional components of error not reflected in the standard error tables. Therefore, caution should be used in comparing data from different sources.

Standard error tables and their use. Instead of providing individual standard error tables for each characteristic of interest, generalized standard error tables for estimated numbers and estimated per­centages, by race, are provided to conserve space. In all the standard error tables, standard errors for intermediate values not shown may be approxi­mated by interpolation. In addition, where two or more items have nearly equal standard errors, such as total population and White population, one table is used to represent them. As a result, the tables of standard errors (along with the factors) provide an indication of the order of magnitude of the standard errors rather than the precise standard error for any specific item.

The figures presented in tables A-1 through A-4 provide approximations to standard errors of various estimates shown in this report. Table A-5 provides factors which must be used to ca lculate standard errors for each characteristic. These factors must be applied to the generalized standard errors in order to adjust for the combined effect of the sample design and the estimation procedure on the value of the characteristic. For example, to produce approximate standard errors for total or White estimates fo r single men who are primary individuals based on data collected for the CPS after January 1967, multiply the appropriate figures in tables A-1 or A-3 by the factor 0.6. The factors for families, house­holds, primary or unrelated individuals should be used for items which appear only once in a given household, e.g., "number of household heads." The determination of the proper factor for a percentage depends upon the subject matter of the numerator of the percentage, not the denominator.

Illustration of the use of tables of standard errors. Table E of this report shows that. there were 2,969,000 single men of all ages that were primary individuals as of March 1976. Interpolation in table A-1 shows the standard error (ax) on an estimate of this size to be approximately 100,000. The factor in table A-5 for total or White primary individuals in the United States is 0.6, thus the standard error is approximately 60,000 = 100,000 x 0.6. The chances are 68 out of 100 that the estimate would have been a figure differi ng from a complete census figure by less than 60,000. The chances are 95 out of 100 that the estimate would have been a figure differing from a complete census figure by less than 120,000 (twice the standard error) .

Table E also shows that of these 2,969,000 single men of all ages, 2,028,000, or 68.3 percent; were single men under 35 years ·old. Table A-3 shows the standard error of 68.3 percent on a base of 2,969,000 to be approximately 1.6 percent. Table A-5 shows the factor for primary individuals in the United States to be 0.6. Applying this factor to the standard error obtained from Table A-3 provides a standard error of approximately 1.0 percentage points. Consequently, chances are 68 out of 100 that the estimated 68.3 percent would be within 1.0 percentage points of a complete census figure, and chances are 95 out of 100 that the estimate would be within 2.0 per~entage points of a census figure, i.e., the 95-percent confidence interval would be from 66.3 to 70.3 percent.

Standard error of a difference. For a difference between two sample estimates, the standard error is approximately equal to the square root of the sum of the squared standard errors of the estimates; the estimates can be of numbers, percents, ratios, medians, etc. This figure will represent the actual standard error quite accurately for the difference between two estimates of the same characteristic in two different areas, or for the difference between separate and uncorrelated characteristics in the same area. If, however, there is a high positive correlation between the two characteristics, the formula will overestimate the true standard error.

Illustration of the computation of the. standard error of a difference between estimated numbers. Table E of the report shows that in 1970 there were 1,765,000 single men of all ages that were primary individuals. Thus the apparent difference between the number of single men of all ages that were primary individuals in 1970 and in 1976 is 1,204,000. The standard error (ax) of 2,969,000 is 60,000, as shown above. Table A-1 and factor table A-5 show the standard error (Uy) on an estimate of 1,765,000 to be approximately 46,000.

To obtain the standard error of an estimated difference, use the following formula:

a( ) :::: /a X 2 + Uy 2 x-y

Therefore, the standard error of the estimated difference of 1,204,000 is about

76,000 =)60,001)) 2 + (46,000) 2

This means the chances are 68 out of 100 that the estimated difference based on the sample estimates would vary from the difference derived using com­plete census figures by less than 76,000. The 68-percent confidence interval around the 1,204,000 difference is from 1,128,000 to 1,280,000, i.e., 1,204,000 ± 76,000. A conclusion that the average estimate of the difference derived from all possible samples of the same size and design

lies within a range computed in this way would be correct for roughly 68 percent of all possible samples. The 95-percent confidence interval is from 1,052,000 to 1,356,000; thus we can conclude with g5-percent confidence that the number of single men of all ages that were primary individuals in 1976 is actually greater than the number of single men of all ages that were primary individuals in 1970.

Estimates of divorced persons per 1,000 married persons with spouse present. The standard error on an estimate of the number of divorced persons per 1,000 married persons with spouse present cannot be calculated directly from these standard error tables. The estimate involves the ratio of the total persons divorced, x, to the total number of married persons with spouse present, y, multiplied by 1,000. The standard error of this estimate is calculated by the following formula :

(1,000).

a 2) + .::L y2

The standard errors of the estimates of the total number of divorced persons, ax, and the standard error of the total number of married persons with spouse present, ay, should both be calculated using table A-1 and factor table A-5.

Standard error of age at first marriage. Tables A and B of the report show age at first marriage by quartiles for selected years. Due to the complexity of the calculations, the procedure for determining standard errors on quartiles is not given here. An explanation of how the quartiles are calculated and their limitations is discussed in the "Age at first marriage" part of the Definitions and Explanations section of this report.
