Interestingly, did you know that 60.6 million Americans live in multigenerational households? According to this research:
- Nearly 1 in 5 Americans live in a multigenerational household.
- Asians are more likely than any other racial or ethnic group to live in a multigenerational household.
- The most common type of multigenerational household two adult generations, such as parents and their adult children.
