Hello, I am confused by the distinction between households and housing units. I've summed the weights from an ACS housing file data for a particular county, and this equals the housing units estimate given in the summary file for that county. But when…
For the latest 5-year ACS estimates, I noticed a discrepancy in the values for MEDIAN YEAR STRUCTURE BUILT BY TENURE (B25037_001) between the 5-year state summary file records and the matching data on data.census.gov.
