Notes: Nearest distance is based on the sample of PSID heads and spouses 25 and older who have at least one parent and/or adult child with non-missing distance values. Percent with all parents and/or adult children within a distance is based on the sample of PSID heads and spouses 25 and older for whom all parents and/or adult children of the given type have non-missing distance values. “Parents” include own and spouse’s biological/adoptive parents. “Adult children” include adult biological/adopted and step children. Close = in the United States and less than 30 miles but not coresident; Very far = at least 500 miles and in the United States. Sample weights are applied for all estimates. Shaded cells have a cell count less than 10 and cannot be reported.
