Description

Definition

This variable indicates the number of dwellings (both occupied and vacant) in the structure containing the household. Stores and office space in the same building are not included in the count. Detached one-unit structures have open spaces on all four sides, or are joined to only sheds or garages. Attached one-unit structures are joined to another house or building by a dividing wall that goes from ground to roof.

Universe

Not group quarters; only answered by 80 percent of cases
