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 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.
