The U.S. Census Bureau has documented that 26 members of the United States Senate represent states in which the majority of households are headed by unmarried adults. The "unmarried majority" households in these states consist of a variety of living arrangements, including solo singles, roommates, unmarried partners, single parents, and unmarried relatives sharing a house or apartment. The staff of AASP has analyzed this census data, complied a list of these members of the Senate, and created a website page for each of them, including pertinent contact information.
