Census: More People Living Alone in Morris Plains

The number of women living solo, 361, is more than double that of men, at 170. It is unknown whether this ratio has changed, since the 2000 census did not collect data on the gender of those living alone.

Additional details about population and housing from the 2010 Census is shown below. The data is compared with the 2000 Census data when available. The change over the decade is given as well.
