Thanks for your question Marcelo. According to Pew Hispanic, multigenerational living has rebounded in recent decades.This type of household is defined as including two or more adult generaitons, or including grandparents and grandchildren younger than 25. According to 2016 ACS (IPUMS) 27% of Hispanic families live in multigenerational households vs. 16% for White population. Hope this helps.
