ACS Housing Costs by Age Boundaries

Overview This feature service contains U.S. Census geography boundaries enriched with American Community Survey housing affordability metrics. The service focuses on renter and owner households by age group, including households headed by people ages 15 to 24, 25 to 34, 35 to 64, and 65 years and over.

The fields also include calculated counts and percentages that support quick assessment of housing cost burden by age segment.
