  "definition": "Story (Single-Family Houses) - That portion of a building between the floor and the ceiling or roof, or the next floor above in the case of a multistory house. A basement is not counted as a story even if it is finished as a den or recreation room. Houses referred to as \"bi-levels\" or \"split foyers\" are classified as two-story houses.\n\nHalf Story - A story finished as living accommodations located wholly or partly within the roof frame is considered a half story. It is tabulated in these statistics as a whole story; for example, one and one-half stories are counted as two.\n\nSplit Level - Identifies a structure having floors on more than one level when the difference in some floor levels is less than one story. This definition is interpreted on the basis of local custom and may vary from area to area.\n\n\"",
