Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segments

Note 8 — Business Segments

We have three segments: (i) Same Store, (ii) Redevelopment and Development, and (iii) Acquisition and Other Real Estate.

Our Same Store segment includes communities that have reached a stabilized level of operations as of the beginning of a two-year comparable period and maintained it throughout the current and comparable prior year and are not expected to be sold within 12 months. Our Redevelopment and Development segment includes apartment communities that are currently under construction, and those that have been completed in recent years that have not achieved and maintained stabilized operations for both the current and comparable prior year. Our Acquisition and Other Real Estate segment includes: (i) communities that we have acquired since the beginning of a two-year comparable period; (ii) communities that are subject to limitations on rent increases; (iii) communities that we expect to sell within 12 months but do not yet meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale; (iv) communities that we expect to redevelop; and (v) certain commercial spaces.

Our chief operating decision maker uses proportionate property net operating income to assess the operating performance of our communities. Proportionate property net operating income reflects our share of rental and other property revenues, excluding utility reimbursements, less direct property operating expenses, net of utility reimbursements, for consolidated communities. In our condensed consolidated statements of operations, utility reimbursements are included in rental and other property revenues, in accordance with GAAP.

As of September 30, 2020, our Same Store segment included 93 consolidated apartment communities with 27,610 apartment homes; our Redevelopment and Development segment included eight consolidated communities with 2,521 homes; and our Acquisition and Other Real Estate segment included 20 communities with 2,670 homes and one office building.

The following tables present the rental and other property revenues, property operating expenses, proportionate property net operating income, and income before income tax benefit (expense) of our segments on a proportionate basis, excluding amounts related to communities sold or held for sale and our proportionate share of four apartment communities with 142 apartment homes that we neither manage nor consolidate, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):
