I have a stacked house where there are houses on each side of a vertical tunnel, with wood platforms to separate the floors. None of the NPCs on the second floor will jump onto the platform and into their house. The houses are all 5 tiles high. What am I doing wrong?

In update 1.1 they added a toggle to have house management. This allows you to set houses to certain NPCS and check to see if a house you built is viable. You can also see what NPCS own a particular house.
The generally accepted way is to stack rooms on top of each other, with doors leading out into a common vertical shaft of some kind.
Put the wooden platform floors out in the common areas so you can get around between the various rooms.

The NPCs once added to a house (assuming it reads housing suitable) will not necessarily be there however you can try quitting and restarting or walking away from your house for a while. even if the NPC is not in the house the bonuses will still be applied as long as housing reads suitable.
Remember:
houses need light source, door, chair, and table houses need to be enclosed need at least one solid block on floor (not platform) need to be X high and X long for NPCs to live their
