Teacher Re: "Household" vs. "Family" The household comprises all the people living in one house. It may range in size from one to as many as can squeeze in. People in your household need not necessarily be family members.

Teacher Re: "Household" vs. "Family" Because they are for use by the members of a household, who may or may not be members of a family. Originally Posted by devonpham1998
