Story Behind the Curve
Household size in the two-county region continues to decline, with the average falling to 2.55 people in 2020. Average household size ranged within the region from a low of 2.13 people in Isle La Motte to a high of 2.71 in Georgia. In both counties, the average household size was approximately 3 persons in 1980.
Why Is This Important?
As household size drops, more housing units are needed to house the same population.
