About this data

Housing units count all residential units in an area, occupied or vacant, from ACS table B25001.
Each figure is that state, the District of Columbia or Puerto Rico alone. Do not add the published areas together and treat the sum as a Census national total; the Census publishes these as area estimates.
The Census published 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. None of the housing-unit estimates were suppressed, and every row has a published margin of error.
Alaska and Hawaii appear in the ranking and table; on the map they sit in the usual insets. Puerto Rico is in the ranking and table but is not shaded on the state map.
