* When using the data retrieved by keyword costburden_renters to compute rates of renter housing cost burden, compute the denominator by subtracting the number of renters for whom cost burden is not computed (B25070_011) from the number of renters (B25070_001). This step is not necessary when using the data returned by keyword housing_overview; the total in this table's section on rent burden (DP04_0136) already excludes the number of renters for whom cost burden cannot be computed.
