Household
A household is defined as:
one person living alone, or
a group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address who share cooking facilities and share a living room or sitting room, or dining area
This includes:
all sheltered accommodation units in an establishment (irrespective of whether there are other communal facilities), and
all people living in caravans on any type of site that is their usual residence; this will include anyone who has no other usual residence elsewhere in the UK
A household must contain at least one person whose place of usual residence is at the address. A group of short-term residents living together is not classified as a household, and neither is a group of people at an address where only visitors are staying.
