Entity and Attribute Overview

Attributes for Chart Data (Note:  Not all attributes are present in  
every chart): 
 
DATASOURCE:  Data source. 
 
GEOGRAPHY:  Name of the city, township or unorganized territory,  
e.g. Benton Twp., Blaine. 
 
HOUSING_TYPE_DESC:  Housing type description. 
 
QUANTITY:  Number of units. 
 
YEAR:  Year of 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

townships that wholly incorporate into cities, the same FIPS55 code for 
the former township will usually be used for the new city. Conversely,
