Source: Census data summarized by HVCEO Note: A "Household" includes all the persons who occupy a housing unit. A housing unit is a house, apartment, room, etc. that is occupied as separate living quarters. In some cases, there may be two or more families living together in one household. Note that not all households contain families, since a household may comprise a group of unrelated persons or just one person living alone. The count of households equals the count of occupied housing units.
