The data on returned surveys were verified by Metropolitan Council staff through various means including: parcel data, contact with community staff, community websites, and comparison to data in the Council's Service Availability Charge (SAC) reports where possible. For this data, projects are counted at the time local units of government issued building permits.

Entity and Attribute Overview

Attributes for Chart Data: 
 
AFFORDABILITY:  Affordable: Affordable to Owner-occupied households at 
80 percent of area median family income, as calculated by the U.S. 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, at the prevailing home 
mortgage interest rates. This definition assumes that households 
earning 80 percent of the region's median income can afford mortgage 
costs (mortgage payments, taxes, insurance and related housing costs) 
without spending more than 30 percent of their income.  For affordable 
rental units, the Council used the maximum monthly rents permitted in 
the metropolitan area for the federal low-income housing tax credits to 
housing serving households at 50 percent of AMI. 
                 Market-rate: The housing units that do not meet the 
affordable housing threshold. 
 
GEOGRAPHY:  Name of the city, township or unorganized territory,  
e.g. Benton Twp., Blaine. 
 
QUANTITY:   The number of housing units associated with the data. 
 
TENURE_LBL:   Rental units; Owner occupied units. 
 
YEAR:  The year associated with the data. 
 
 
Attributes for Tabular Data: 
 
CO_CODE:   3 digit FIPS and state standard county ID code 
                        003 = Anoka County 
                        019 = Carver County 
                        037 = Dakota County 
                        053 = Hennepin County 
                        123 = Ramsey County 
                        139 = Scott County 
                        163 = Washington County             
 
CTU_CODE:   5 digit FIPS55 'Place' code for CTU.  As of 2006  these  
codes have been officially retired by the  federal government.  They are 
replaced by the GNIS codes below. The Census Bureau will continue to  
create FIPS55 Place codes for new cities and townships through the 2010  
Census.  After that, no new FIPS55 codes will be created. Note that for  
townships that wholly incorporate into cities, the same FIPS55 code for  
the former township will usually be used for the new city. Conversely,  
GNIS creates a new ID for the new city.  
 
CTU_ID:   The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)official federal 
unique identifier for each city, township or unorganized territory.  
 
COCTU_ID:  11 digit identifier for the combination of county and CTU  
(concatination of CO_CODE and CTU_ID_CEN).   This is the official U.S.  
Census Bureau format.  
 
CTU_NAME:   Name of the city, township or unorganized territory, e.g.  
Benton Twp., Blaine. 
 
YEAR:   The year associated with the data. 
 
HOUSING_TYPE_DESC:   Housing unit type description. 
                              
HOUSING_TENURE:   The tenure of the housing unit. 
                        RNT: Rental unit 
                        OWN: Owner unit
