Those two terms -- household and family -- are often used interchangeably, but the Census Bureau draws a careful distinction:

• A household consists of one or more persons living in the same house, condominium or apartment. They may or may not be related.

• A family has two or more members who live in the same home and are related by birth, marriage or adoption.

Think of it this way: All families are also households, but not all households are families.

The 2010 federal census counted 116.72 million households across America. They're split among 77.54 million families (66.4 percent) and 39.18 million (33.6 percent) "nonfamily households," to use the bureau's inelegant term.

Figures vary widely across the country, of course. The following database has breakdowns for all 3,141 counties and independent cities (IC) throughout the country. Use the tab to isolate a single state, or hit Search to view the entire list.

More than 80 percent of the households in 20 counties are also classified as families, led by Morgan County, Utah, at 86.6 percent. Four Texas counties round out the top five.

Twenty-two counties, on the other hand, have more nonfamily households than families. New York County, N.Y., also known as the borough of Manhattan, has the nation's lowest distribution of families, 40.4 percent.
