Information on household and family patterns from the 1993-94 Health Interview Survey in Greenland is described. The average size of households is 3.5, and almost three-fourths of the Greenlandic population live in families with children. The pattern of these families with children covers a variety of single-parent families (6% of the total Greenlandic population), nuclear families (42%), extended families (14%), and other types of families (11%).
