By default, the Microdata panel is set to request samples of individual people. You can instead import samples of households. When importing households, the attributes that apply to individuals (such as age and marital status) don’t import.

To change your data request to Households:

1.If necessary, open the Choosing Cases list.
2.Click People/Households to bring up the pane with these choices.
3.Click Households Only.
4.Open the Attributes list then the Household list to choose household attributes.

Household attributes are grouped into three sections: Basic (owned or rented), Economic (rent and mortgage), and Dwelling (number of bedrooms and age of residence).
