housing units
Places people reside
Housing units are individual residences counted for statistical or administrative purposes—apartments, houses, condos, mobile homes, or any separate living quarters.
The term appears in census data, real estate reports, and urban planning: The development will add 200 housing units to the neighborhood.
Each unit is defined by having its own entrance and basic facilities for living independently.
