2 Vacant seasona 1 /migratory units are
excluded from all other tabulation
matrices.

those persons who have a write-in entry
of an Asian 4 Pacific Islander group In
the "Other" category.

7 Tabulations of "Persons in household"
based on 100-percent data by definition

stratified by a housing Item such as
tenure, plumbing facilities, etc., in
which case, the phrase "Persons in unit"
Is used. Tabulations of "Persons in

10 This aggregate, along with the relevant
count will permit the computation of a
mean. For example, the aqqregate value
for the ownei — occupied noncondominium
units will yield the mean or average
value when divided by the number of
specified ownei — occupied noncondominium
units, and the aggregate number of rooms
for occupied and vacant yeai — round units
yields the mean or average number of
rooms with the appropriate division.
(See footnote 14 prior to computing mean
value or price asked.)

modifications, to produce printed output
from Census Tape STF1 for geographical
areas in North Carolina. (Does not apply
to tables in microfiche products.)
18 Suppression of data occurs when there are
fewer than 15 persons/5 occupied housing
units In an area (except for total popu¬
lation and basic housing counts, race,
and Spanish oriqin characteristics).
Complementary suppression may be applied
to prevent derivation of suppressed data.
