A "household" is a group of people living together or you can be a single-person household if you live alone. A "housing unit" is the physical space (like a house or an apartment) where a household lives.

Some "housing units" are vacant and the rest have "households" living in them.

And some head of households have more than one unit, i.e. vacation homes.
