How many pets does your family have? By family, we mean members of your family with whom you currently live.
Number of pets in the family · Asked in 2 waves, 2018–2025 · 2,231 responses · weighted estimates computed from individual responses
Coded values: 0 means “no pets”; 20 means “20 or more pets”. Answers from the 2024 GSS Next follow-on (Aug 2025) are a separate poll: a web-only survey of people who had finished the 2024 GSS interview, so mode and timing differ from the other years.
Dashed lines mark changes in how interviews were done, which can shift answers: 1. → web (2025).
