Abstract

Kinship networks are important but remain understudied in contemporary developed societies. Because hazards of vital events such as marriage, fertility, and mortality vary demographically, it is likely that average numbers of extended kin also vary meaningfully by education and race, but researchers have not addressed this topic. Existing research on kinship in developed societies focuses on group-level differences in multiplex kin networks such as those comprising household co-residence, instrumental and emotional support, and frequency of contact. By contrast, we provide the first population-based estimates of group-level differences in living kin in the contemporary United States. We estimate, by race, educational attainment, and age, average numbers of living parents, children, spouse/partner, full and half siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, aunt/uncles, nieces/nephews, and cousins, and test whether group differences in average kin counts are attributable to group differences in kin mortality and other processes.
