Generally, the figure for senior citizens aged from 55 to 64 was particularly far higher than that of the remaining groups in 1950 and 2000. Additionally, it is clear that all five categories experienced overall increases over the period.

More specifically, the 55-to-64 group had the highest percentage of people living alone, with a rate of roughly 3% in 1850, rising significantly to 17% by the end of the period. Meanwhile, despite starting at around 2% in 1850, the figure for people who were in their forties and fifties experienced rapid growths to 7% and 13% in 2000, respectively.

On the other hand, the younger generations from 27 to 36 and 17 to 26 years old had shown a strong tendency to keep themselves to themselves since 1950, with about 2% for each category. However, by 2000, their figures had witnessed sharp increases to 5% and 8% accordingly.
