st: pweight for households

I'm using the Current Population Survey (March Supplement) for a
project, and I need to derive an estimate of the number of households
in the population. There is a household population weight built into
the data. The problem is that the data is structured by person, with
individual household identifier numbers, i.e.:
Person I.D. | Household I.D.
1 | 1
2 | 1
3 | 1
4 | 2
5 | 3
6 | 3
etc.
I know that if I reshape the data from long to wide, I can get the
population household estimate, but I'm trying to figure out if there
is a simper way to derive this value.
Any insight would be appreciated.
