Singles can opt for a roommate and lower costs

if you are a couple it almost mandates that both must work, and of course adds costs due to childcare, an extra vehicle etc etc..
and unless you have same-sex kids, a 2 bedroom does not work for many couples..

More and more people see every penny of earnings going to pay for a roof over their heads, child care, and vehicle expenses. Nothing left over for much of an actual life

There are probably more 2 BR than 1BR, so costs may be lower with a roommate than a 1 BR
