Sumario:Since the National Census of 1813, carried out at times of the struggles for independence, did not consider the structure of the household, the present work addresses the analysis of its characteristics in the Capital city and in a rural area (Río Segundo), exploring whether the particular socio-political situation affected them differently. The por census data were expanded through various sources. Castes and many slaves predominated in the city, while whites were more frequent in the rural area. In both areas, women and the high percentage of widows prevailed - much more in the city. Both in the city and in the country the predominant households were of complex structure, although the city showed a high percentage of single-person households. Those with a free chief,mainly housed people of pardo-mestizo condition, while households with Spanish chief were made up of whites and slaves. In rural areas, the effect of the “levas” and wars had less intensity, since there were a more balanced sexual proportion, a higher number of people per household, more frequency of married people, fewer widows and a higher proportion of children. Multiple examples are given of the different types of households.
