Based on my assumptions, so long as your sister is younger than you, I see no issues. But still read the above references in case one of my assumptions is wrong.
For tax year 2018, the threshold amount has been increased to $4150. Income should include all income, but it excludes exempt income such as Social Security. Unemployment income generally adds to the income total. While being younger is a requirement to be a qualifying "child", being younger is not a requirement for a qualifying "relative". So if your sister meets the income and the other requirements for a qualifying relative, then Head of Household should be OK.
