The Composition of Families in the US [Interactive Graphic]

This interactive graphic from the New York Times asks the question "How Many Households Are Like Yours?" Users choose the primary residents of the household and then can add people. The graphic will then show the number and percentages of US families that meet the same criteria.   Selecting household members also produces graphs showing how this particular type of family has varies with respect to time, race/ethnicity, and income level. This graphic relies on Census Data.

This is a great way to introduce a discussion about changing family structures in the US or just to quickly find some demographics that you can use as talking points.
