Celebrating National Singles DayĬelebrating this holiday is as simple as giving some appreciation to a single person that you know. This figure is expected to rise as the population ages.

this is over 16% of the population of all single people over the age of 18 in the United States.

There are over 16.4 million singles over the age of 65.

The Elderly Account For Over 16% Of Single People The rest of them are either divorced (24%) or widowed (14%). If you consider the entire population of singles in the U.S, you’ll notice that a whopping 61% of them over the age of 18 have never been married. Never Married Singles Account For Over Half Of All Singles This is a trend that’s estimated to extend into the future as fewer people find the need to marry. And the population of the singles is growing each and every year.įor example, the U.S Census reports that singles accounted for only 24% of the population during 1960, a stark contrast to 45% of the population being single nowadays. It’s been reported in 2017, that approximately 110 million adults over the age of 18 were single in the United States. The first fact to discuss is that singles now make up almost half the U.S population. Singles Make Up Over 45% of the U.S Population Some of these statistics might be surprising to some people, while other ones might be expected. Now that we know about National Singles Day, we might want to discuss some fun facts about singles living in the United States. In 2017, the holiday was moved so that it would coincide with National Singles Week and it’s been on that Saturday ever since. It was created by the Buckeye Singles Council but was celebrated on a different day than it is today. This holiday was officially started during the 1980s when it was observed for the first time in Columbus, Ohio. This is a day that shouldn’t be confused with Singles Awareness Day (also known as Single Awareness Day), a day that’s celebrated in February. After all, statistics show that single people are more likely to deal with sick or aging parents or perform charitable acts in the community. It’s a day in which people can celebrate the achievements and recognize that they’re as vital to society as married couples. Celebrated on the Saturday during National Singles Week, National Singles Day is a holiday that’s designed to recognize the people that makeup almost half of the U.S population: singles.
