Lets say that this guy named 'Richard' was a peasant, he of course must live in a peasant house, if he became a vassal he AND his family would go to his lord and ask for a home. I believe that 'Richard' would live with his family even before moving. So the number really depends on how many family members there are. but that's my opinion
There were many different kinds of houses. Some were very simple and consisted of a single room for a single person, living alone.
On the other end of the spectrum, for ordinary folk, were long houses of Britain, the low countries, and northern Germany, which might have several families, a number single servants and farm hands and possibly other people living in them, along with a fair number of cattle, horses, chickens and so on; such large houses could be the size of large barns.
And, of course, there were manor houses and palaces, which could have dozens of people living in them.

Who would live in a medieval village?
Most of the people who lived in medieval villages were peasant farmers and the members of their families. In many places the distinction between a village and a hamlet was that the village was big enough to have its own church. So typically, a village had a priest. A village was likely to have a baker, because most people did not bake their own bread. The ovens were too expensive for an ordinary person to have, so there would be one for the entire village. Many villages had mills, so there was a miller and his family. In some villages, the miller and the baker were the same person or married couple. The village might have a blacksmith. There could be a potter, weavers, fishers and so on. There was often a manor house, with the landlord's family and the servants. One thing a village would not have was a market place. So a village would not have merchants.

Where did people in medieval times live?
Most people of the Middle Ages lived on manors or other farms, depending on the actual time and place. Peasants, who worked the land, lived in cottages, usually in villages. Lords and other members of the nobility lived in manor houses. The clergy lived in rectories attached to churches, or in monastic buildings. Bishops lived in episcopal palaces. Many people, especially in the later part of the Middle Ages, lived in towns and cities. Poorer people lived in boarding houses, and the wealthy lived in their own houses. Some people lived in castles, but not very many. Castles were uncomfortable. Kings lived in palaces with their families, when they could. If times were bad they lived in castles.
Where was the medieval church positioned in relation to the rest of the village Was it in the centre outskirts why was this?
There was no standard position for the church within a medieval village; it could be sited anywhere inside or outside the village boundary. Many English churches are at one end of the medieval village street, which would be mainly occupied by domestic buildings. Others are placed centrally. The "end of the village street" option is clearly seen in the excavations at the abandoned medieval village at Wharram Percy, where the two manor houses and peasant dwellings are ranged around the central road and the church, priest's house and mill are together at the southern end. There was certainly no specific reason for the positioning of the church in relation to other buildings.
How many people is a 'whole village' in medieval times?
There was no fixed number of people in a village. A village was defined in terms of features. A village had no permanent market, had one church, and was surrounded by a green zone, which is to say it could not be adjacent to another village. A permanent market or a second church would turn it into a town. Without a church, it was a hamlet. But clearly, a village could exist with a single family, provided it had a church, and could have 1000 people, provided they all went to the same church and did not build a market. A city, by the way, was a town with a cathedral or a charter.
