Household Size

Household size refers to the total number of people living together in a single housing unit, such as a house or apartment. It includes all residents, regardless of age, and can vary from a single individual to larger families or groups sharing a home. Household size helps to understand living arrangements, housing needs, and economic factors within a community. Larger households may face different challenges and opportunities compared to smaller ones, influencing factors like housing costs, resource distribution, and social dynamics. It is an important demographic measure used by planners and policymakers to assess community needs.
