All of the rules will have to be met by you and your adult child for you to be able to use the HOH filing status.
You must have a qualifying family group blood related member or the ones that meet the IRS rules that would allow you to claim them as a member of your household for the dependent exemption to qualify for the HOH filing status.
Go to the IRS website and use the search box for Publication 501
Head of Household
You may be able to file as head of household if you meet all the following requirements.
1. You are unmarried or "considered unmarried" on the last day of the year.
2. You paid more than half the cost of keeping up a home for the year.
3. A "qualifying person" lived with you in the home for more than half the year (except for temporary absences, such as school). However, if the "qualifying person" is your dependent parent, he or she does not have to live with you. See Special rule for parent, later, under Qualifying Person.

What is the adult equivalent household size?
It's an aggregate indicator for a household size. It's used mostly in analyses of household attributes as a substitute for the straightforward household size or simply the number of adults in a household since both these can give inaccurate indications. The OECD approach is using weights that count as 1.0 for the first adult, 0.7 for the second and subsequent adults, and 0.5 for each child under 15. The modified OECD or EU approach is using 1.0 for the first adult, 0.5 for the second and subsequent and 0.3 for each child. There are more elaborate weights in use however from national governements, but as long as the above weights are used uniformly inside a sample, they can be legitimate substitutes of the simpler head-counting or adult-counting.
