Households

Controls how agents are placed into domestic units. Three co-operating files define: what age categories exist, the ordered sequence of allocation steps, and the structural rules that govern relationships within each household.

File	Purpose
households_config.yaml	Age category definitions; demotion and promotion rules when population and household data are mismatched
allocation_strategy.yaml	Ordered list of allocation steps — households, communal venues, excess fill, overflow, and promotion
relationship_rules.yaml	Internal household structure rules: role definitions, age-gap constraints, pair-matching for couples
