   Do you eat at home or eat out?

• Synonym家族かぞくNeutralFocuses on the members themselves — people linked by blood or marriage, as in 「家族は四人」; 「家庭」 is the unit and place where they live together.
• Synonym一家いっかNeutralA household or the family as a whole, often after a surname as in 「佐藤一家」; also a school or gang. Not used in abstract phrases like 「家庭教育」.
• Synonym世帯せたいNeutralIn official statistics written 「世帯」: one household living and sharing a livelihood, as in 「単身世帯」 — a counting unit, with no sense of home life.
• Synonym身内みうちNeutralClose relatives or one's own people within an organization, defined against outsiders — as in 「身内だけで葬儀をする」.
• SynonymファミリーNeutralLoanword for family or household, also a clan; common in compounds such as 「ファミリー向け」 and 「ファミリーレストラン」.
• Synonym所帯しょたいNeutralEmphasizes running an independent livelihood: 「所帯を持つ」 means starting a family, 「所帯じみる」 means turning homely and mundane — more everyday than 「家庭」.
• Related一門いちもんWrittenA whole clan of one bloodline; also a sect, school, or group of related sumo stables, with a traditional air. 「家庭」 is the family you actually live with.
• Related身寄りみよりNeutralRelatives one can turn to for support, mostly in 「身寄りがない」. Refers to people, not to the family unit that 「家庭」 denotes.
• Related眷属けんぞくWrittenWritten, old-fashioned term for one's kin and dependents; also retainers or followers, and in Buddhism the Buddha's attendants. Rare in modern Japanese.
• Related家門かもんWrittenWritten word for one's family line or standing, as in 「家門の誉れ」; carries an air of distinguished lineage and is rare today.
• Antonym社会しゃかいNeutralThe public world outside the home, standing opposite 「家庭」; 「社会に出る」 means leaving school and family to enter society.
• Antonym職場しょくばNeutralThe workplace, contrasted with 「家庭」 and often paired with it, as in 「職場と家庭の両立」.

For the unit of people living together as one family, 「家庭」 is the default; for the members, use 「家族」. Say 「所帯を持つ」 to start a family, 「世帯」 for households in statistics, and 「～一家」 for a whole family of one name. 「眷属」「一門」「家門」 are written words for kin or lineage, 「身寄り」「身内」 mean relatives, and 「ファミリー」 shows up mostly in compounds.
