Family Structure 

Families come in many different shapes and sizes and the family structure sometimes changes while children are growing up.  The typical family consists of a father and mother caring for their children.  In a single-parent family one parent cares for a child or children on their own.  Sometimes a family structure changes from two-parent to single parent due to separation, divorce, death, or incarceration.  In families described as kinship care, the primary caregiver for a child is a relative other than the birth mother or father.

Pinellas
County is estimated to have approximately 417,000 households.
 

  • Approximately 100,000 households, 24.1% of the total, include one or more youth under the age of 18.

Family households, a family household includes a householder and one or more people living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption, account for just under 99% of all households with youth under the age of 18 compared to 43% for households with no youth under 18.

  • Married-couple family households with youth under 18 are estimated to account for 61% of all households with youth under 18.
     
  • Households led by females with youth under 18 and no spouse present are estimated at 30,000, approximately 30% of family households and four times the number of single male householders.
