Notes:
 
Housing Unit (Census) - A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room that is occupied
(or if vacant, intended for occupancy) as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live and eat
separately from any other people in the building and which have direct access from the outside of the building or through a common hall.
 
Household - A household includes all people who occupy a housing unit. A household consists of a single family, one person living
alone, two or more families living together, or any other group of related or unrelated people who share living arrangements.
 
Householder - One person in each household is designated as the householder. In most cases, this is the person, or one of the
people, in whose name the home is owned, being bought, or rented. If there is no such person in the household, any adult
household member 15 years old and over could be designated as the householder.
