  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 2 Does not include floorspace for unheated garages.
  3 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.
  4 Based on the household respondent's description rather than the Federal Government
definition.
  -- = Data not applicable.
  NE = RSE row factor not estimated because RSE's for all statistics in this row are between
0.0 and 1.0 percent.
  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.  • Percentages
are calculated on unrounded numbers.  • See "Glossary" for definition of terms used in 
this report.
