  1. Seriously? Where are all of these people living in one bedrooms and studios? Almost every single person I know has at least one roommate. For that matter, where are all of these one bedrooms and studios that apparently represent so much of the housing market?

  2. I think the important detail here is that the number counts households, not people. Single adults living with roommates could contribute to the percentage of single-occupant households by reducing the total number of households being counted. The more roommates you have, the less your household factors into the count.
