\1 Usual residence elsewhere.
\2 Prior to 1987, seasonal vacant units were underestimated; see Source and Accuracy Section for explanation.
\3 Approximately every 10 years, metropolitan/nonmetropolitan area definitions are redefined by the Office
of Management and Budget. Therefore metropolitan/nonmetropolitan data for prior to 1986, 1986 to 1994, 1995
to 2004, and 2005 and later are not comparable to each other.
