Family structures over time

 

 

 

The large decrease in the number of families in Ashburton(S) can be attributed to the sizeable decrease in couple families with children between 1996 and 2001. There was a slight increase in couple families with no children between 1996 and 2006, but sole parent families and other families remained relatively static.
