Comments
Guide for use:
Populations tabulated for these categories may not correspond to populations in household level collections. In particular, a person classified as a ‘Renter’, ‘Rent-free’, and ‘Other’ may correspond to ‘Owners with/out a mortgage’. For example, a dependent student pays rent to their parents in the same household, may report their tenure type as 'Renter' or ' Boarder' in a person level collection , whereas in a Household level collection, they would be assigned the ‘highest’ tenure type in the household, for example ‘Owner with a mortgage’.
