You probably don’t get a floating holiday for it though.

Still, in honor of people like me (as opposed to, say, certain other people), here are some fun facts:

95.7 million
Number of unmarried and single Americans. This group comprises 43 percent of all U.S. residents age 15 and over.

54%
Percentage of unmarried and single Americans who are women

14.5 million
Number of unmarried and single Americans age 65 and over. These older Americans comprise 15 percent of all unmarried and single people.

63%
Percentage of unmarried and single Americans who have never been married. Another 23 percent are divorced, and 14 percent are widowed.

13.3 million
The number of people, ages 25 to 34 in 2000, who have never been married; this number represents 35 percent of all people in this age group.

6.9 million
The number of people, ages 35 to 44 in 2000, who have never been married; this number represents 15 percent of all people in this age group. [Hey, that’s me!]

86
Number of unmarried men age 15 and over for every 100 unmarried women in the United States

52.6 million
Number of households maintained by unmarried men and women. These households comprise
48 percent of households nationwide.

28.8 million
Number of people who live alone. These one-person households comprise 26 percent of all U.S. households.

25.1 and 26.8
The estimated U.S. median ages at first marriage in 2000 for women and men, respectively. The age for women equaled the 20^th century high reached in 1999 and is up 4.3 years since 1970. The age for men, even though it dipped 0.3 years since reaching a 20^th century high in 1996, was still up 3.6 years from 1970.

Yup.  "Unmarried and single" is the new black.
