    The numbers are correct though. Lots of single person or retired couple households

    But @East_coast's numbers look less extreme in the context

    0.0015 of households is more like 0.005 of children. And expressed as a percentage, that is 0.5%. Not the 0.00001% you had said earlier, four fewer zeroes.

    I did not state 0.00001%

    3 children per household? I suspect if I call an AU Pair agency the average would be closer to 1.2

    It was @hullexile's number

    But three times fewer children than households means three times more au pairs per child than au pairs per household, which calls into question the relevance of your 0.0015 au pairs per household (ie. 0.15%) number

    You can't get over this one, can you?

    I bought it the next day for even more than $300, and rather enjoyed doing so
