About this ranking

Average number of persons per private household. EU countries: EU-SILC. United States: American Community Survey five-year estimate of people in households divided by occupied housing units, where the period shown is the last year of the five-year span.

Covers private households only; people living in institutions or other group quarters are excluded. EU-SILC figures refer to the survey year. The EU and US surveys differ, so their figures are not strictly comparable.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the counties are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
