In 2020, there were approximately 2.58 million one-person households in the capital city of Seoul and surrounding province of Gyeonggi combined. This is not surprising since around half of the national population lives in these two areas, and one-person households account for around 30 percent of all households in Seoul and Gyeonggi.
