Definitions:

• Owner occupied: A housing unit in which the owner or co-owner lives, even if it is mortgaged or not fully paid for
• Renter occupied: All occupied units that are not owner occupied, whether they are rented for cash rent or occupied without payment of cash rent.

Explanations and Caveats:

• The tenure of a housing unit does not necessarily indicate the unit type. For example, a household may rent a detached, single-family structure, as well as an attached apartment unit. Similarly, a household may be the owner of a unit in a multi-unit condominium structure.
• American Community Survey does not include data for other Franklin County cities.
