A household scale is a universal, globally recognised scale for measuring the size of households (defined as a building or structure under which people may live). The Household Scale (named after Paul Household, a 20th century American demographist) has the following grades: 9 : A palace, habitable by upto 150 people

8 : A large mansion, habitable by between 10 and 20 people

7 : A house (for three to six people)

6 : A bungalow (for three to six short people)

5 : A caravan (for two people intent on causing traffic buildups)

4 : A shed (for dirty uncles and their 'special' private hobbies)

3 : A tent (for two people who like it moist)

2 : A cardboard box, or newspaper arrangement (for single tramps)

1 : An iron lung (for single people for whom mobility is not important)
