The best new comedy on TV this fall is one that a lot of Utahns can relate to — it’s called “Single Parents.” No, really.
According to data from the U.S. Census, 18 percent of the children in Utah live in single-parent households — about 167,000 infants, toddlers, kids, preteens and teens under 18. That ranges from a low of 11 percent in Utah County to a high of 37 percent in Grand County. That means there are a whole lot of single parents in the state, among the nation’s almost 20 million households headed by single parents with minor children.
