Summary

According to the 2000 U.S. Census, Latino family households1 were larger than any other ethnic or racial group in the United States. About 35% of Latino families had five or more people residing in their household. Compared to other ethnic groups, a greater proportion of Latinos were married-couple families. Within Latinos, Cubans were the most likely to be married (53% v. 45% and 44%) compared to Mexicans and Puerto Ricans, respectively. Nearly one-third of all Mexican households in Michigan were non-family households2, compared with the national average of 16.3%. This report examines Latino families and households. Data are drawn from the 2000 U.S. Census Summary Tape Files 4 (STF4).
