When a private household (110-4) contains several persons they are called members of the household ¹ and one of them will be the head of the household ². There is no universally accepted rule as to who is considered the head of the household; in some cases it may be the principal earner ³. On most census schedules there appears a question dealing with the relationship ⁴ (114-3*) of members of the household to its head. This enables a distinction to be made between different groups in composite households ⁵ or complex households ⁵ which contain members of more than one biological family or nuclear family (113-1). A composite or complex household can be disaggregated into several nuclei ⁶, including a primary nucleus ⁷ and secondary nuclei ⁸. The nuclei are more commonly called families (112-1). The primary family ^9★ is that of the household head when it is defined, the others are called secondary families ^10★. Household size ¹¹ denotes the number of persons included in the household.

• 2. The term householder is sometimes used to refer to the head of the household. The term headship is frequently encountered.
• 6. The nucleus is also called a conjugal family unit.
