Dividing B25033 (Total Pop in units in structure) by B25044 (Units in Structure) will give you average household size by units type. CTPP 2006-2008 also provides a table (Table 14210) household size by household unit type at county level. ________________________________ From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net] on behalf of Vinod Sandanasamy [VSandanasamy(a)palmbeachmpo.org] Sent: Monday, December 19, 2011 6:43 PM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: RE: [CTPP] [Fwd: Persons per household by Housing Type in American Community Survey] Table B25024 provides units in structure and has fields like single unit attached, detached, mobile home, etc. I am assuming that you are requiring this data for modeling purposes.

Do you mean tenure (own/rent) or structure type (single family, apartment, etc.)? For tenure, table B25008 in the ACS provides total population in occupied housing units.by tenure Dividing that by the count of occupied housing units by tenure (B25002) will give you pph by tenure. Or, you can just look at B25010. Similarly, B25033 gives you total population in occupied housing units by tenure by units in structure. Divide by units in structure counts (by tenure, or add them together) to get pph by units in structure. Hope this helps.

We use this data for making our TAZ level population estimates. I understand the Census Bureau provided this information with the 2000 census, but I don’t see it in either the 2010 census data or any of the ACS data.
