1 One of five climatically distinct areas, determined according to the 30-year average (1961-1990) of the
annual heating and cooling degree-days. For this report, the heating or cooling degree-days are a measure of
how cold or how hot a location is over a period of one year, relative to a base temperature of 65 degrees
Fahrenheit. A household is assigned to a climate zone according to the 30-year average annual degree-days for
an appropriate nearby weather station.
2 New construction for 2001 includes only those housing units built and occupied between January and the
April-August period when the household interviews were conducted.
3 Based on the household respondent's description rather than the Federal Government definition.
4 Small Multifamily Homes are homes that have two to four housing units; and Large Multifamily
Homes are homes that have five or more housing units.
-- = Data not applicable.
NF = No applicable RSE row factor.
Q = Data withheld either because the Relative Standard Error (RSE) was greater than 50 percent or fewer than
10 households were sampled.
Notes: • To obtain the RSE percentage for any table cell, multiply the corresponding column and row factors.
• Because of rounding, data may not sum to totals. • See "Glossary" for definition of terms used in this report.
