- Arlington County data is weighted by the number of units within the property.
- Not all properties have a units counts, which drives the number of housing units down (especially when the NA is for a multifamily)
- Number of unknown units count: 206 (2009), 233 (2010), 237 (2011), 248 (2012) and 463 (2013)
- The total estimate below do not include those with an NA value (which are weighted). The % NA are based on the total estimate with NA values
- Arlington County defines this category as Heating Type vs the ACS definition of Heating Fuel
- Unknown category for Arlington County are properties that could not be placed into one of the ACS bins due to lack of specificity
- All prepared Arlington data are u sed n the tabulations
