Most government agencies assume an average of ~1.7 people per apartment unit, with higher numbers for other unit types like houses, which are closer to 2.5 people per unit. That average does vary though building to building depending on local demographics, building age, and tenancy type (condo vs. rental vs. affordable housing, etc.).
I imagine the stacked units will be a bit higher than an apartment unit, but not by much. Perhaps 1.8 people a unit.
