Cousins, in-laws, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews are more often considered extended rather than immediate family. The most divisive category were children-in-law: 46% consider them extended family members, while 35% consider them immediate family.Half of people say they live in the same city or town as at least one extended family member (54%), including 29% who say they live in at least the same neighborhood.One in five (19%) even say they reside in the same household.

Only 3% say they don’t have any extended family.Family reunions are a regular or at least semi-regular occurrence for many: about half of people say they’ve attended one within the past decade, with 38% saying they have done so within the past five years, including 21% within the past year. But not everyone has had an opportunity or desire to reunite with extended family: 19% say they’ve never attended a family reunion.When asked to compare the closeness of their family to others, roughly equal shares of people feel like theirs is about average (31%), more close-knit (30%), and less close-knit (29%).To some extent, proximity does mean closeness.
