The bar chart below shows the percentage of people living alone in 5 different age group in the USA between 1850 and 2000.

The chart compares the proportion of citizens living alone in 5 age groups from 17 to 64 years old in America during a 150 – year period since 1850.

Overall, the figure for people living alone increased gradually through the period surveyed in all age groups and that for people aged 55 – 64 was generally the highest. Units are measured in percentages.

In 1850, only figures of three age groups were given. Only around 2% of people aged 37 – 46 and those aged 47 - 54 lived alone, about 1% lower compared to those aged 55 – 64. During the next 50 years, in 1900, the proportion of citizens living alone from 27 – 36 years old was just above 2%, while that in 37 – 46 age group remained unchanged. Figures for those in 47 – 54 and 55 – 64 saw a slight increase of approximately 1% and 2% respectively.

A new pattern, people aged 17 – 26, emerged in 1950, with the percentage of those living alone in all age groups went up sharply. However, figures for people who lived alone in 2000 saw a significant increase. The figure for 17 – 26 age group increased sharply to 5%, compared with just around 2% in 1950. The percentage of those living alone in 37 – 46 age group was followed by those aged 27 – 36, stood at 7% and 8%, respectively. The proportion of people living alone aged 47 – 54 was almost 4 times higher than that in 1950, at 13%; whereas the percentage for those who lived alone in the 55 – 64 age group nearly doubled to reach the high peak at 17%.
