  • Members must occupy the same household
    • A household includes all the people who occupy a housing unit (such as a house or apartment) as their usual place of residence.
    • 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 group of unrelated people sharing a housing unit such as partners or roomers, is also counted as a household. The count of households excludes group quarters. There are two major categories of households, “family” and “nonfamily.”
    • Household is a standard item in Census Bureau population tables
  • The family membership must be set up as a separate account in the online membership system – it's not a shared account or an add-on to an existing account.
  • A family membership must be paid using the same payment account as the Bodgery member who has a non-family membership.
