individual households


Explanation:
A 'household' can be a group of people living together as a 'family', although not necessarily/definitely in the 'traditional' definition.

Not to be confused with 'nuclear family' ("a family group that consists only of father, mother, and children")

Example sentence(s):
  • "Un nucleo familiare designa un'unità sociologica che vive nello stesso alloggio"

neutral  Fiona Grace Peterson: "Household" to me means the people living under the same roof; I think it may be too limited in scope here.

individual nuclear families


Explanation:
I would stick with the word 'nuclear' even though today's families tend to be blended or extended.
