To think of household income, think of how you file taxes. You don't claim roommates in your taxes, theyre not your household. If you and a significant other file jointly, that's your household.

The stat isn't as ridiculous as the other person claims

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.
