household may consist of a family group (census family) with or without
other non-family persons; of two or more families sharing a dwelling; of
a group of unrelated persons; or of one person living alone. A private
household is a household occupying a private dwelling.

daughter. A family household may also contain other non-family persons.
Non-family household: A household where one person lives alone,
or a household that is composed of a group of two or more people who
