LabelNumber of persons in the household
Question text I would like to begin by asking you how many people live in your household, that is whose main residence this is and who share at least one meal a day, or share living accommodation with you? I also need to know in whose name this accommodation is owned or rented and we will begin with them. Well, as there is more than one person we will begin with whoever has the highest income. In that case I need to know who is the eldest person whose name this accommodation is in.
