17 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +4 size of household
Explanation:
I'd say you're right, it means size of household.
-> "Om dit groeiende aantal inwoners onderdak te verschaffen was het nodig, dat de woningbouw met kracht werd ter hand genomen. En niet alleen ten behoeve van die toename, maar ook wegens de dalende gezinssterkte.
Het is duidelijk, dat daardoor het aantal gezinnen relatief toeneemt, hetgeen mede van invloed is op het aantal woon-eenheden dat nodig is om de gehele bevolking een woning te verschaffen."

-> "Between 1971 and 1991 the average size of household in Great Britain declined, from 2.91 persons to 2.48. It continued to decline, though at a slower rate, throughout the 1990s, falling to 2.32 by 1998, since when it has changed little. In 2006 the average number of persons per household was 2.34."
