5.2 Households and families - Roscommon Families There are 16,739 families in Roscommon, an increase of 13.2 per cent since the 2006 Census. Family size Nationwide, rural families were larger on average than those in urban areas. The average number of children per family was 1.5 in rural areas, compared with 1.3 for their urban counterparts. There is a clear North-West/South-East divide evident in family size. Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan had the largest families with 2.19 children per family on average. Leitrim and Mayo (each with 2.17 children per family) were next. The five cities had the smallest families in this category with fewer than 2 children per family on average. Fingal (2.00), South Dublin (2.01) and Wicklow (2.02) also had smaller families than average. The average number of children per family in Roscommon was also 1.4, reflecting the state average. 31
Single people The highest proportions of singles were in the cities, Galway (62.7%), Dublin (60.7%) and Cork (57.8%). The counties with the lowest proportion single were Roscommon (50.3%), Leitrim (50.5%) and Mayo (51.0%). However, these percentages depend heavily on the underlying age structure of each county. Younger counties tend to have more single people while older counties have more married and widowed people. Confining the analysis to those in their forties mitigates these effects. While the cities still top the board with high proportions of singles (all the cities have over 25 per cent single), more rural counties such as Sligo (23.6%), Leitrim (21.8%) and Kerry (21.8%) also have high rates of single people. And the counties with the lowest percentages of single people are also among those with the youngest overall age such as Meath (15.4%), Kildare (16.0%) and Cork County (17.9%). Married people Galway County (40.3%), Roscommon (40.2%) and Meath (40.0%) had the highest proportions of married. The cities had the lowest percentages; Dublin and Galway each had less than 30 per cent of their adult population married.
