Summary confidence: high
This dataset covers 3,222 U.S. counties with housing-unit counts (owner-occupied, renter-occupied, total) plus a FIPS code, county name, and the percent of renters. The three count columns are extremely right-skewed (skew between 9.5 and 15.8, kurtosis above 140) with 13–14% of rows flagged as outliers — a handful of huge urban counties (max total_housing_units of about 3.36M vs a median of roughly 10,021) dominate the distribution. The pct_renter field is far better behaved, centered near 26% with a much tighter spread, making it the most useful comparable metric across counties. Start by inspecting the long tail of total_housing_units, then use pct_renter to compare counties on a normalized basis.
