That’s the error. Because a person can own multiple residences and fill out multiple forms or respond to more than one census worker.
For example, my parents were divorced and had joint custody of my siblings and I. One year, both households included us in the census form sent to the residences. Whoops, three extra children who don’t actually exist.
The census tries to eliminate duplicates like that, but it gets tricky when people have residences in different states.
