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.

Note: In 2010 Census definitions, "family households" consist of a householder and one or more other people related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption.

They do not include same-sex married couples even if the marriage was performed in a state issuing marriage certificates for same-sex couples. Same-sex couple households are included in the family households category if there is at least one additional person related to the householder by birth or adoption.

Same-sex couple households with no relatives of the householder present are tabulated in nonfamily households. "Nonfamily households" consist of people living alone and households which do not have any members related to the householder.
