words, to say that this household needed a $50 rent is not to <br /> say that it did not need a $70 unit. In fact, it "needed" a <br /> lower rent - any lower rent down to $50. Above $50, only <br /> part'of its need would be met; while at $50, its full need <br /> would be met according to the.percentage of income standard <br /> used. <br /> It is thus true that the "Difference'' line should <br />only-be interpreted in the context of the "Cumulative Deficit" <br />line. Before discussing that line, however, it should be <br />noted that in Table V-17 which compares affordable gross <br />r~nts and available rental units, the total number of house- <br />holds in the "Renter Households" section is larger than the <br />total occupied units. By.defSnition, the two figures are <br />the same. The fact that they are not the.same in the table <br />resul%s from the fact that in the census tabulations gross <br />.rent data is not tabulated for all occupied rental units <br />while income data is tabulated for all renter'households. <br />In preparing Table V-17, the gross rent data for occupied <br />units was not adjusted up to compensate for ~his. The 195 <br />difference between the two figures is about a 1% difference. <br />There is no allowance made in the needed units ("Renter <br />Households") figures or in the difference or cumulative <br />deficit figures for a needed vacancy rate. However, not <br />compensating for the 1% difference between renter households <br />and occupied rental units, has the effect of allowing'for a <br />1~ vacancy rate. <br /> <br />' O00ng.o. <br /> <br /> <br />
