Reply to comment by Sparky_delite in [OC] The rise of single fathers by theverybigapple

I wanted to show that single fathers are increasing. The goal isn't/wasn't to show the global increase in single parents. Although, the graph includes numbers so one can see the total is also increasing.

Okay! I thought your goal was to show how single parent was trending. But that makes sense now that you've clarified it. I noticed the numbers, but am too lazy to add them and compare haha.

number of single mothers has incrasted slightly more than fathers over the last 31 years.

edit: should have adjusted for pop increase for this to be a useful graph. shows very little otherwise. other than over 30 years not much has changed in the ratio of fathers to mothers.
