Description
An English description of the definition (what distinguishes this sense of the term?).
The behaviour of a household can be represented by the collective activities of its members. The Household pattern supports the representation of Households, Families, and Dwelling Units - all of which are distinct, though closely related concepts.
Key Concepts and Classes
The definition of a Household, requires the following key classes and properties:
- Household: A Household occupies a particular Dwelling, according to some tenure type. It is defined by this location, so that if the members move (even collectively), the new residence constitutes a new Household.
Note that a Household, and likely many other classes may have different definitions in different contexts/applications. To address this, specializations of the class may be introduced as extensions.
- Dwelling Unit: A Dwelling Unit is occupied by a Household. A Dwelling Unit has a market value. A Dwelling Unit has some Location.
- Tenure: Arrangement under which the occupant has the right to live in the dwelling unit.
