Definitions

A household consists of all the people who occupy a housing unit. A house, an apartment or other group of rooms, or a single room, is regarded as a housing unit
when it is occupied or intended for occupancy as separate living quarters; that is, when the occupants do not live and eat with any other persons in the structure
and there is direct access from the outside or through a common hall. A household includes the related family members and all the unrelated people, if any, such as
lodgers, foster children, wards, or employees who share the housing unit. A person living alone in a housing unit, or a group of unrelated people sharing a housing
unit such as partners or roomers, is also counted as a household. The count of households excludes group quarters. There are two major categories of households, 'family'
and 'non-family'.

in this case, Child means an individual under the age of 20
