We asked members to identify the label that best applied to them using several social classification systems. Although some members bristled at the idea of some of these labels, the were willing to choose something that fits best.
Kids have an impact at UUFSD, either among families currently with kids, or those that might remember how it was now that their kids have grown. For family status, families with young kids make up just over 1 in 5 (21%), the same percentage that are families with teens. The largest group, empty nesters, make up nearly four in ten (38%).
Like many other UU Fellowships, most members identify with the Upper Middle Class. This group makes a slight majority at 52%. The next largest group, Middle Class, make up 39% of the Fellowship.
