AVERAGE FAMILY AT LOWEST FIGURE IN HISTORY OF U. S. Washington, Dec. 20.—The number of persons in the average American family is at the lowest figures in history, according to preliminary fi gures the census bureau announced today. Preliminary figures from the 1940 census, Director William Austin an nounced, show the average popula tion per occupied dwelling unit in the United States is 3.8. The num ber was 4.1 in 1930. The number of persons per family has been de creasing steadily since 1890, the bu reau said. The bureau attributed the de cline in the average size of the fam ily to increased migration to cities and to a declining birth rate. The population of the United States, the bureau said, increased ” 2 per cent from 1930 to 1940 but the number of families increased 16.3 per cent. Three states in the Pacific North west, Washington, Oregon and Cali fornia, reported the lowest figures on number of persons per family. The average there was 3.2. The state with the highest figure was North Carolina, which reporter 4.6 compared with 4.9 in 1980. The census bureau pointed that the increase in tht number of fam ilies is the significant factor in de termining the prospective demand for commodities. Each new fam ily, the bureau asserted, is a poten tial purchaser or renter of a home or dwelling. FIXTURES FOR SALE — Complete and excellent set of grocery store fixtures for sale.
