The U.S. Census provides data estimates at various times in between each official census relative to housing characteristics. The following data was published in 2012, unless otherwise noted. It includes information about types of structures that people live in, the number of rooms and how many people live in those housing units. It includes information about how many vehicles there are in families here, and what kind of energy is used in housing units.

Finally the survey shows us some numbers about costs of housing in Arizona. Here are some of the important numbers that might interest people who are moving to the area.

Number of Units in Structure

This refers to the number of housing units where people live. A single family home would be a 1-unit, detached. A townhouse might be a 1-unit attached. An apartment building might be 20 or more units.
