Overally, improves nationally representative estimates for policy & research. #SOGIData #LGBTDemog #Q+Demog

US surveys should integrate SOGI measures w/ detailed questions on relationships & living arrangements to better study family & health as it captures diverse family structures when surveys exclude non-coresidential partners. #SOGIData #LGBTDemog #Q+Demog

LGBTQ+ adults are less likely to be married & more likely to cohabit, have non-coresidential partners, or be single. They’re also more likely to live alone or w/ roommates & less likely to live w/ children, often in smaller households that may increase isolation risk. #SOGIData #LGBTDemog #Q+Demog

Here we compare relationship status and living arrangements among LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ U.S. adults—examining marriage, cohabitation, non-coresidential partners, singlehood, and household composition (living alone, with children/family, or roommates). #SOGIData #LGBTDemog #Q+Demog

Most national surveys exclude sexual and gender identity (SOGI) measures or do not link them with household rosters and non-coresidential partnership questions, limiting demographic estimates of LGBTQ+ family life. #SOGIData #LGBTDemog #Q+Demog

By design, it does not address individual variation, personal experience, & within group variation. #LGBTDemog
