Fresh data from the US Census Bureau is shedding light on the living arrangements of families in the nation. The data showed a clear increase in the number of children who live in a home with two parents. While these rates tended to be higher among younger children, a household with both a mother and father remains the preferred arrangement for the raising of children.

According to the data from the US Census Bureau, it is estimated that a solid 3 in 4 (75%) of US kids aged 6 and below live with two parents, a figure that drops to 68% in the 12-17 age group. Overall, 71.1% of US children live with two parents, a slight uptick from 70.7, in 2007.
