st: how to deal with households

[Andrea Bennett <mac.stata@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I wonder if there is a consensus on how one deals with survey data  
where one individual was asked - besides a lot of other things - about  
the household income and the number of individuals in that household  
(including roomers). Now I think I somehow got to adjust income as it  
obviously depends whether one can use 5000$ for one, two or three  
people. On the other side I wonder how individuals responded to the  
household income question when they were just sharing a flat with  
friends. But, there might be some consensus on that topic? So, is  
there a good way to adjust household income?

Many thanks for your consideration,

Andrea
