The U.S. Census Bureau reported on August 26, 2004, that 134 members of the United States House of Representatives have districts in which the majority of households are headed by unmarried adults.  That is up from 113 members as reported by the full 2000 Census for the redrawn districts for the 108th Congress. The "unmarried majority" households in these districts consist of a variety of living arrangements, including solo singles, roommates, unmarried partners, single parents, and unmarried relatives sharing a house or apartment.  The table below has links to website pages for those members who had "unmarried majority" districts in 2000 as well as those who have joined the "unmarried majority" Congressional club more recently.
