    "All people-related family members and unrelated people-who occupy a housing unit and have no other usual address.\n\nNote: The housing unit may be a house, an apartment, a group of rooms, or a single room, as long as it is occupied or intended for occupancy as separate living quarters.\n\nSee household data taken from Employment and earnings, February 2006.",
    "A household includes all the people who occupy a housing unit (such as a house or apartment) as their usual place of residence.\n\nA household includes the related family members and all the unrelated people, 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 people sharing a housing unit such as partners or roomers, is also counted as a household. The count of households excludes group quarters. There are two major categories of households, \"family\" and \"nonfamily.\"\n\nHousehold is a standard item in Census Bureau population tables."
