Household – A household includes all of the people who occupy a housing unit. A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room occupied (or if vacant, intended for occupancy) as separate living quarters.

Householder – In most cases, this is the person, or one of the people, in whose name the home is owned, being bought or rented. If there is no such person in the household, any household member 15 years old or over could be designated as the householder.
