NEW HOUSEHOLD FORMATIONS SEEN ON THE RISE. In the next two or three years, house hold formation is going to be more rapid than it has been in the recent past, says Business Week It is the young people teen-agers taking a room away from home or young people taking an apartment together that will make up a large part of the new households. The average increase in Hie number ot households in the last four years has been slightly less than b5,uuo annually. By contrast, growth was at a rate of more than 1.1 million between 1947 and 1950.

The small est increase in households in a 28-month span (March, 1963 to July, 1965) would be two million. The Census Bureau says it could be as much as 3.4 million.
