Household consists of all the persons who occupy a housing unit.
A house, an apartment or other group of rooms, or a single room, is regarded as housing unit when it is occupied or intended for occupancy as separate living quarters, that is, when the occupants do not live and eat with any other person in the structure and there is direct access from the outside or through a common hall. A household includes the related family members and all the unrelated persons, if any, such as lodgers, foster children, wards, or employees who share the housing unit. A person living alone in a housing unit, or a group of unrelated persons sharing a housing unit as partners, is also counted as a household. The count of households excludes group quarters. If the house is owned or rented jointly by a married couple, the householder may be either the husband or the wife.
