Note: A household consists of all the people who occupy a housing unit, including
related family members and all unrelated people, if any, such as lodgers,
foster children, wards, or employees who share the housing unit.
When a household is in linguistic isolation, the primary language for all members
14-years-old and over is not English, and English is spoken less than "very well."
All of the members
of a linguistically isolated household are tabulated as linguistically
isolated, including members less than 14-years-old who may speak only English.
