Evidence: Supports the published total and every valid household-size component for married-couple-based resident households with reference person aged 65 or older.
The age-group row is not a national all-household age table; it is nested within married-couple-based households. The one-person source dash is preserved as null.
Use the Household Reference Person Aged 65 Years and Over row nested under Married Couple-Based Households, retain the seven valid size columns, and divide by the row total.
All values use one final Census 2020 source, one nested parent scope and one household-count unit.
