The private household was referred to as:
(1) One-person households, i.e. a person who made provision for his own food and other essentials of living without combining with any other persons.
(2) Multiperson households, i.e. a group of two or more persons who made common provision for food and other essentials of living. They might be either related or unrelated such as:
(2.1) a household comprised a group of related persons by blood, marriage or adoption
(2.2) a household comprised a group of unrelated persons, not exceeding five who live together sharing the lodging (included as one private household)
(2.3) a household comprised a group of employees living together, not exceeding five persons (included as one private household)
