/1/ More than one person per room, excluding closets and bathrooms.
/2/ Severe or moderate physical problems as reported in the housing survey. Number in "inadequate" category is low for 1980 because of data unavailability.
/3/ Burden is calculated by dividing gross rent and utilities by reported family or household income.
/4/ Family or household income below 50 percent of area median family income adjusted for household size, as defined for Housing and Urban Development programs.
/5/ Unassisted with either rent burden of 50 percent of household income or more, or severely inadequate housing.
NOTE: Because of overlapping categories, details do not add to totals. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Beginning in 1985, rent burden and income are based on household, rather than family income for all households, and return on home equity is not imputed as income to owners. 1985 utility payments adjusted to be comparable to 1989 and 1993.
