I'll take this on!

Actually! Looks like you had a different approach you were considering taking in the comments, @mapsam:

# TODO: return a different reponse with all household size info

What do we think makes the most sense?

Some work in progress on a branch I pushed up.

This sounds good to me @daguar! I didn't have a particular opinion on that TODO. My original thinking was probably "how does a developer get ALL of the information at once?", but that could probably be a unique call instead of the default.

Also, is it crazy to default to something other than 1? What if we defaulted to the average family size per the US census? That feels like I might be over thinking it, though.
