Owner vs. Renter Occupied and Household Size
Although Census 2020 data on housing units and occupancy are available, data on household size and whether they are owner or renter occupied from Census 2020 will be released in spring 2023. They are presently part of the ACS product. To be consistent, fiveyear (2016-21) ACS data are used in this report for housing units, housing occupancy and households, household size, and whether they are owner or renter occupied. Table 4 highlights that the household size, regardless of owner or renter occupancy, is the highest in Districts 2 and 3. UMD students who reside off campus may share one single-family house or apartment unit, which can result in a relatively big household size.
