How does Resstock determine building aspect ratio?

I understand many properties come from the conditional probability files here: https://github.com/NREL/resstock/tree/develop/project_national/housing_characteristics.

Is there a similar file or an assumption somewhere for determining a building's aspect ratio? Asked another way, how do you go from an input of total sqft to actual wall dimensions?
