Householders

Householder refers to the person (or one of the people) in whose name the housing unit is owned or rented (maintained) or, if there is no such person, any adult member, excluding roomers, boarders, or paid employees. If the house is owned or rented jointly by a married couple, the householder may be either spouse.

Households are diverse; the racial or ethnic identity of a household’s members may not match that of the householder.

Family / Non-Family Households

A family household is any household with two or more members related by birth, marriage, or adoption. Single-person households and two more unrelated people living together are called non-family households.

Person of Color

TRPC defines “person of color” as anyone included in Census Bureau counts of Black or African American, American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian or Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, Some Other Race, or Hispanic or Latine population either alone or in combination with another race or ethnicity.
