The end of WWII brought a new view of the typical American family. Returning servicemen arrived to their new wives, whom they hastily married before they were shipped off to the war, and began families. The average size of families actually decreased at this time but the number of families increased by about 11 million. The larger amount of families created a new demand for new cheap houses. and so the tract house was born, and brought with it suburbia and a new way of life.
