Evidence of “Doubling Up” in Response to the
Economic Downturn: 2007 Compared to 2011
Notes: A household is counted as “doubled-up” if it includes at least one “additional” adult, a person aged 18 or older who is
not enrolled in school and is not the householder, spouse, or cohabiting partner of the householder.
While the CPS ASEC estimates poverty and income for the previous calendar year, household composition is measured at the
time of the survey.
