High school dropouts from the class of 1992 were almost four times more likely than high school completers to be living with children of their own in 1994. Dropouts and other noncompleters were also much more likely to be living with a spouse or a partner. About half of both graduates and dropouts were living with their parents, usually with other people living in the household as well. Female completers and dropouts were more likely than males to be living with a spouse or partner.
