#' Summarize number of households per traffic analysis zone
#'  
#' @param zonal_data Data frame containing zonal population and employment
#'   estimates at the traffic analysis zone level
#' @param save_to File name for saving the total number of households by traffic
#'   analysis zone in comma-separated value format (optional)
#'
#' @details This simple function tallies the number of households within each
#'   traffic analysis zone within the modeled area. These totals are included in
#'   the calculation of local truck attraction proportions. The result is a data
#'   frame containing this information, which can optionally be also stored in a
#'   comma-separated value file if desired.
