| county_idkey | string | 5-character FIPS code identifying the county.Joins dim.counties on county_id. |
| county_name | string | Human-readable county name corresponding to county_id. |
| homeownership_rate | float64 · percent (0–100) | Share of occupied housing units that are owner-occupied, expressed as a percentage of the tenure universe. Calculated as owner_occupied / tenure_universe × 100. Higher values indicate greater homeownership prevalence. |

| renter_rate | float64 · percent (0–100) | Share of occupied housing units that are renter-occupied, expressed as a percentage of the tenure universe. Calculated as renter_occupied / tenure_universe × 100. Higher values indicate a more renter-dominant housing market. |
| state_idkey | string | 2-character FIPS code identifying the state.Joins dim.states on state_id. |

usage
how to use this table
method
ACS B25003 reports owner-occupied vs renter-occupied housing units. Homeownership rate = owner-occupied / total occupied.
do not use for
Sub-county tract analysis; vacant-unit rate (use B25002, separate); subsidized rental detail.
known issues
ACS 5-year overlapping windows mean year-over-year deltas are not independent observations.
