Notes:               Household is an occupied housing unit.
                      Householder is a person in whose name the housing unit is rented or
                     owned. This person must be at least 15 years old.
                      Family household is a household in which there is at least 1 person
                     present who is related to the householder by birth, marriage or
                     adoption. 
                      Family is used to refer to a family household. In general, family
                     consists of those related to each other by birth, marriage or
                     adoption.
                     
                      This data uses the householder's person weight to describe
                     characteristics of people living in households. As a result, estimates
                     of the number of households do not match estimates of housing units
                     from the Housing Vacancy Survey (HVS). The HVS is weighted to housing
                     units, rather than the population, in order to more accurately
                     estimate the number of occupied and vacant housing units. For more
