Just a further clarification in case the two responses are confusing. Tom's response is a way of getting the mean number of de facto household members. To get the number of de jure household members (as used in the table in the report) you would use hv102 (usual member) instead of hv103 (slept in the household the previous night) in Tom's response.

Similarly, you can just use the HR file and get the mean of hv012 for mean number of de jure household members, or use hv013 for the mean number of de facto household members.
Mean number of de jure household members: 4.44513
Mean number of de facto household members: 4.39408

Table 2.10 in the survey report provides the mean number of de jure household members.
