In the United States, households headed by married adults have much more wealth, on average, than those headed by single adults. And among unmarried adults, there’s a significant wealth gap between men and women.
In 2022, the typical single man had $82,100 in wealth, compared with $58,100 for the typical single woman, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.
But among unmarried women, wealth varies considerably between those who have children under 18 in the household and those who don’t.
Households headed by unmarried women who do not have children under 18 had a median wealth of $87,200 in 2022 – similar to households headed by unmarried men. In contrast, the median wealth of households headed by unmarried women with children was $10,700.
(We cannot look at the wealth of households headed by unmarried men with or without children separately due to the relatively small number of single-father households.)
