Short, un-illuminating answer:  yes.

Longer, hopefully illuminating answer:  the important part is how long it takes to get that 6000 or 10000 kWh.  If it takes a year, you’ll get in the region of 16-27 kWh per day.

How many houses this will run depends on how the people in those houses live.  For some folks who live really efficient lives and don’t use air conditioning or electric hot water, 2 kWh might be all they use in a typical day; one wind turbine would suffice for about 8 such households.  The average house uses more like 1 kWh average, so 24 kWh/day; such a wind turbine might power as little as 2/3 of such a house.

Hope this helps.
