The social unit that lives in a House is known as a household.
Most commonly, a household is a family unit of some kind, although households may also be other social groups, such as roommates or, in a rooming house, unconnected individuals.
Some Houses only have a dwelling space for one family or similar-sized group; larger Houses called townhouses or row houses may contain numerous family dwellings in the same structure.
A House may be accompanied by outbuildings, such as a garage for vehicles or a shed for gardening equipment and tools.
A House may have a backyard or a front yard or both, which serve as additional areas where inhabitants can relax or eat.
