How do I create a 'household size' variable from the ACS? Thank you.

I am unsure how to create the household size variable in the ACS- any pointers?

The variable NUMPREC gives the number of person records within a household. Otherwise, if you would like the number of family members residing together in a household, the variable FAMSIZE provides this information.

I hope this helps.
