| Guide for use: | Age in single years (if aged under one year, record as 0). Dwelling age is calculated using the date on which construction was completed, regardless of when it was purchased or occupied. If year of construction is known (but the full date is not) use the date 01/01 of the construction year to estimate age. If age (or date of construction) is unknown or not stated, and cannot be estimated, use code 999. | ||||
