No, this is not true. The typical home has a main bedroom for the parents called a master bedroom. These ususally have a connected bathroom, used mainly by the parents/adults. The number of bathrooms typically depends on the number of bedrooms the house has. In a "3 bedroom 3 bath" house, one of these bathrooms will usually not have a tub/shower, and is considered a "half bath(room)" which is designned for guest use. The bathroom that the other members of the house(children) usually share a bathroom.

Average "3 bedroom/3 bath" home:

A) Parents-1 bathroom (toilet, sink, shower/tub)

B) All Children-1 bathroom (toilet, sink, shower/tub)

C) Guest-"1/2 bath" (toilet and sink, no shower/tub)

Michael, I'm not sure how this article you've shared impacts the number of bathrooms in a house?

If only. The USA is rated one of the most unequal of the developed economies, in terms of income and wealth, and that translates to lots of poor people living in low-cost, often low-quality housing. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/01/03/census-housing-factfinder/1806909/ https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1403494817713108

Thank you, Jasmyne!
