Total Housing Units (6105): A housing unit is a house, apartment, mobile home or trailer, group of rooms, or single room, occupied as a separate living quarter or, if vacant, intended for occupancy as a separate living quarter. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live and eat separately from any other person in the building and have direct access from the outside of the building or through a common hall. Both occupied and vacant housing units are included in the housing unit inventory, except that recreational vehicles, boats, caves, tents, railroad cars, and the like are included only if they are occupied as someone's usual place of residence. In 1970, the definition of a housing unit stipulated that occupants live and eat separately and have either direct access or complete kitchen facilities. For 1980 and 1990, direct access is required; the alternative of complete kitchen facilities was dropped. In 1970, vacant mobile homes were not counted. In 1980 and 1990, vacant mobile homes were included in the housing inventory if they are intended for occupancy where they stand. In 1970, units with 6 or more unrelated persons living together were classified as group quarters (rather than housing units); for 1980 and 1990 that requirement was raised to 10 or more unrelated persons. The 1970 data are from the publication, Detailed Housing Characteristics (100% count data). The 1980 data are from cell 1, table 4, STF3A (sample data). The 1990 data are from table H1, STF3A (sample data). The 2000 data are from table H001, SF1 (complete count data).

Vacant Housing Units (6108): A housing unit is vacant if no one is living in it at the time of enumeration, unless its occupants are only temporarily absent. Units temporarily occupied at the time of enumeration entirely by persons who have a usual residence elsewhere are also classified as vacant. Vacant housing units include those units that are vacant but intended for use, even if only occasionally, throughout the year. These units may be vacant for sale only, for rent, rented or sold awaiting occupancy, held for seasonal, recreational, or occasional use, for migrant workers, or other types of vacancy categories. While 1970 and 1980 vacancy figures were tabulated for year-round housing units, those for 1990 and 2000 were for all housing units. The 1970 data are from the publication, General Housing Characteristics (100% count data). The 1980 data are from cell 3, table 11, STF3A (sample data). The 1990 data are from cell 2, table H4, STF3A (sample data). The 2000 data are from table-cell H003003, SF1 (100% count data).

Renter Occupied Housing Units (6109): Renter-occupied housing units are occupied housing units which are not owner-occupied, regardless of whether cash rent is paid by a member of the household. The 1970 data are the sum of cells 3 and 4, table 36, Fourth Count Housing. The 1980 data are from cell 2, table 97, STF3A. The 1990 data are from cell 2, Table H8, STF3A (sample data). The 2000 data are from table-cell H004003,Sf1(100% count data).

Owner Occupied Housing Units (6110): Owner-occupied housing units are those in which the owner or co-owner lives in the unit even if the unit is mortgaged or not fully paid for. The owner or co-owner need not be the householder. The 1970 data are the sum of cells 1 and 2, table 36, Fourth Count Housing. The 1980 data are the difference of cells 1 and 2, table 97, STF3A. The 1990 data are from cell 1, table H8, STF3A (sample data). The 2000 data are from table-cell H004002, SF1 (100% count data).

Mobile Homes or Trailers (6111): Both occupied and vacant mobile homes are included if intended for occupancy where located in 1980, 1990, and 2000. (For 1970, vacant mobile homes were excluded.) Excluded are mobile homes to which permanent rooms have been added, mobile homes used only for business purposes or for extra sleeping space, and mobile homes for sale on a dealer's lot. In 1970 and 1980, these data were shown only for year-round mobile home housing units; in 1990 they are shown for all mobile homes.
The 1970 data are from cell 7, table 50, Fourth Count Housing. The 1980 data are from cell 6, table 102, STF3A. The 1990 data are from cell 9, table H20, STF3A. The 1990 data are the sum of cells 1-4, 9-12, table P68, STF3A. The 2000 data are the sums of table-cells H032011, H032022, and H031010, SF3. Sample data.
