How many ground do vertical stacked villager houses need?

[Marlene]

I want to palce Phoebe's house between Fang's and Drago's houses but between Drago's and Fang's houses are just 9 squares and if her house is subtracted from the amount of squares, remain just 6 squares for the space between Drago's and Phoebes house and Fang's and Phoebes house.
Will be three squares for each interspace enough?

I do know that villager's houses have a size of 3x3 squares, but how many room has to be between two houses if a villager's house should be placed upon an onther house?

As I know they need a square on each house side, if they should be placed beside each other they need two squares in sum which looks like this:

If a villager house would be placed upon aonther villager house would they also need 2 squares between the houses?
I'm not sure if this works horizontal like vertical because the villagers might need some extra square for entering and leaving their houses?

oh ok so I'm pretty sure space to the left/right is one space.
I'm not sure about forwards and backwards

Just one?
I guess that can't be right since you need horizontal already 2 squares between two villager houses

I guess that can't be right since you need horizontal alreay 2 squares between two villager houses

Because 1 space on each side for each house. They can't overlap so the space needed between houses is 2 for the sides. I'm not sure about the front though.

There needs to be at least 2 spaces between 2 houses horizontally, but I think there might need 3 spaces vertically because the front door requires one extra space.

Octavian, Kyle, and Rosie all live two spaces away from each other in my town. So, you definitely, absolutely only need two horizontal spaces between each villager's house. That's the closest they can get to each other.
