HOME |

Owned by you or someone in this household with a mortgage or loan Select this response option to describe any house, apartment, or mobile home that has any type of loan secured by real estate. These liens may be called mortgages, deeds of trust, trust deeds, or contracts to purchase. Owner-occupied units with reverse mortgages and home equity loans are considered to be “owned with a mortgage or loan” as are owner-occupied mobile homes with installment loans.
Owned by you or someone in this household free and clear (without a mortgage or loan) Select this response option to describe owner-occupied properties without any loans secured by real estate.
Rented Select this response option to describe units where money rent is paid or contracted. 'Continuing care,' sometimes called life care, is a contract between an individual and housing services provider. The contract requires that shelter, usually a house or apartment, and services such as meals or transportation to shopping or recreation, be provided. For these kinds of living arrangements, mark the 'Rented' box.
Occupied without payment of rent Select this response option if the house or apartment is not owned or being bought by a member of the household and if money rent is not paid or contracted. (For example, a house or apartment that is provided free to a janitor, caretaker, or superintendent in exchange for services.) |

TRIBAL ENROLLMENT In the 2017 Census Test, an individual’s response to the tribal enrollment question is based upon self-identification. People may report being enrolled in one or more American Indian tribe(s) or Alaska Native tribe(s), village(s), or corporation(s). These questions focus on a respondent’s tribal enrollment status and are separate from a respondent’s racial or ethnic identity.
CORPORATION SHAREHOLDER A respondent may report being a shareholder in one or more Alaska Native regional or village corporation. A shareholder is someone who has an ownership interest in a regional or village corporation. An Alaska Native regional or village corporation may also be known as an Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) Corporation. Being a shareholder is separate from a respondent’s racial or ethnic identity.
