Half of families in Germany with only one child

Compared to ten years ago, the proportion of families with several children has increased. In 2012, the proportion of one-child families was slightly higher at 53%. At that time, 36% of families had two children and only 11% had three children or more.

In 2022, the largest families on average lived in Baden-Württemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia. A typical family in Germany consists of no more than four members, with the average figure last year being 3.44 people. In Baden-Württemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia, there were 3.49 family members on average, followed by Lower Saxony with 3.48, Bavaria with 3.47 and Hesse with 3.46. The smallest families in 2022 lived in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with 3.24 and Thuringia and Brandenburg with 3.26 each.
