Definitions:
Single-family homes include:
1-Unit,
Detached-- This is a 1-unit structure detached from any other house; that
is, with open space on all four sides. Such structures are considered detached
even if they have an adjoining shed or garage. A one-family house that contains
a business is considered detached as long as the building has open space on all
four sides. Mobile homes or trailers to which one or more permanent rooms have
been added or built also are included.
1-Unit,
Attached-- This is a 1-unit structure that has one or more walls extending
from ground to roof separating it from adjoining structures. In row houses
(sometimes called townhouses), double houses, or houses attached to
nonresidential structures, each house is a separate, attached structure if the
dividing or common wall goes from ground to roof.
Structure-- A separate building that
either has open spaces on all sides or is separated from other structures by
dividing walls that extend from ground to roof. In determining the number of
units in a structure, all housing units, both occupied and vacant, are counted.
Stores and office space are excluded.
