ACS 5YR Demographic Estimate Data by County

2016-2020 ACS 5-Year estimates of demographic variables (see below) compiled at the county level. These variables include Sex By Age, Hispanic Or Latino Origin By Race, Household Type (Including Living Alone), Households By Presence Of People Under 18 Years By Household Type, Households By Presence Of People 60 Years And Over By Household Type, Nativity By Language Spoken At Home By Ability To Speak English For The Population 5 Years And Over, Average Household Size Of Occupied Housing Units By Tenure, and Sex by Educational Attainment for the Population 18 Years and Over.
ACS 5YR Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) Estimate Data by State

Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data documenting the extent of housing problems and housing needs, particularly for low income households, at the State level. This is estimated by the number of households that have certain housing problems and have income low enough to qualify for HUD’s programs (primarily 30, 50, and 80 percent of median income).
Urbanization Perceptions Small Area Index

This service provides a tract-level dataset illustrating the outcome of machine learning techniques applied to neighborhood classification reported by the American Housing Survey (AHS) as either urban, suburban, or rural. Definitions of “urban” and “rural” are abundant in government, academic literature, and data-driven journalism. Equally abundant are debates about what is urban or rural and which factors should be used to define these terms. Absent from most of this discussion is evidence about how people perceive or describe their neighborhood. Moreover, as several housing and demographic researchers have noted, the lack of an official or unofficial definition of suburban obscures the stylized fact that a majority of Americans live in a suburban setting. In 2017, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development added a simple question to the 2017 American Housing Survey (AHS) asking respondents to describe their neighborhood as urban, suburban, or rural.
Unit of General Local Government (UGLG)

This dataset symbolizes city, county, town, parish, village, or other general-purpose political subdivisions of a State. The term "Unit of General Local Government" refers to a city, county, town, parish, village, or other general-purpose political subdivision of a State. Units of General Local Government (UGLG) are comprised of several Census geographies including: Summary Level 050 - State-County; Summary Level 060 - County Subdivision; Summary Level 070 - State-County-County Subdivision-Place/Remainder; Summary Level 160 - Place; Summary Level 170 - State-Consolidate City; Remainders of County Lands.
USDA Rural Housing by Tract

This dataset is a summary of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Housing activity by census tract. The USDA's, Rural Development (RD) Agency operates a broad range of programs that were formally administered by the Farmers Home Administration to support affordable housing and community development in rural areas. RD helps rural communities and individuals by providing loans and grants for housing and community facilities. RD provides funding for single family homes, apartments for low-income persons or the elderly, housing for farm laborers, childcare centers, fire and police stations, hospitals, libraries, nursing homes and schools.

Temperature Severity Indicators

The Temperature Severity Indicator data distills observational information of prolonged temperature events in the contiguous United States to inform housing and community development policy, planning, and decision making. The indicators, conveyed as a grid of 1-degree latitude by 1-degree longitude cells, are created from observational data (Berkeley Earth Lab gridded daily maximum and minimum temperature ) and consider the frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme heat and extreme cold weather events that occurred in the US between 1913 and 2012.
Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grantees - National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA)

The Sustainable Communities Regional Planning (SCRP) Grant Program supports locally-led collaborative efforts that bring together diverse interests from the many municipalities in a region to determine how best to target housing, economic and workforce development, and infrastructure investments to create more jobs and regional economic activity. The Program places a priority on investing in partnerships, including nontraditional partnerships (e.g., arts and culture, recreation, public health, food systems, regional planning agencies and public education entities) that translate the six Livability Principles into strategies that direct long-term development and reinvestment, demonstrate a commitment to addressing issues of regional significance, use data to set and monitor progress toward performance goals, and engage stakeholders and residents in meaningful decision-making roles. The SCRP program is a key initiative of the Partnership for Sustainable Communities, in which HUD works with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to coordinate and leverage programs and investments.
Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grantees

This map layer displays the planning areas of the winners of the Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant competition for FY2010 and FY2011. Program applicants were required to designate their planning area according to a set of criteria given in the Notice of Funding Availability, which in most circumstances ensured that applicant geographies would be composed of counties, MSAs, or the planning areas of Metropolitan Planning Organizations. The majority of geographies in this file were assembled from county, MSA, and MPO shapefiles available on servers or publicly elsewhere. The remaining geographies used publicly available geospatial data such as municipal line files and tribal boundaries.
Subprime and Manufactured Home Lender List

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) periodically produce its HUD Subprime and Manufactured home Lender List for the lenders who specialize in either subprime or manufactured home lending, even though beginning with 2004 HMDA reporting, lenders are required to identify loans for manufactured housing and loans in which the APR on the loan exceeds a comparable Treasury APR. The HUD Subprime and Manufactured home Lender List contains the names of those lenders, their agency codes, and lender identification numbers. The agency code and lender identification numbers should be used to link to the individual HMDA loan application records (LARS). The file also contains a concatenated field, IDD, which is a combination of the agency code and lender identification number. The HUD Subprime and Manufactured home Lender List has annually been updated and revised in response to feedback from lenders, policy analysts, housing advocacy groups, and other users of the list. HUD deletes lenders and adds others based on that feedback.
Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMR) Zip Code Tabulation Areas

This feature service outlines relationships between Zip Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) used to denote Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs) and the Fair Market Rents (FMRs) calculated for Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and County geographies. Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs) are FMRs calculated for ZIP Codes within Metropolitan Areas. Small Area FMRs are required to be used to set Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher payment standards in areas designated by HUD (available here). Other Housing Agencies operating in non-designated metropolitan areas may opt-in to the use of Small Area FMRs. Furthermore, Small Area FMRs may be used as the basis for setting Exception Payment Standards – PHAs may set exception payment standards up to 110 percent of the Small Area FMR. PHAs administering Public Housing units may use Small Area FMRs as an alternative to metropolitan area-wide FMRs when calculating Flat Rents.

Single Family Loan Sale Initiative - National Offering

The FHA Office of Housing is conducting a series of mortgage loan sales under the Single Family Loan Sale (SFLS) Initiative. The current sales structure consists of whole loan, competitive auctions, offering for purchase defaulted single family mortgages provided by FHA-approved loan servicers. The loans sold contain specified representations and warranties and may be sold with post-sale restrictions and/or reporting requirements. Currently, the FHA is selling loans in large national pools, as well as loan pools in designated geographical areas that are aimed at a neighborhood stabilization outcome (“NSO pools”).

Section 108 Grantee Areas

This dataset provides the locations and pertinent information for Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program grantee areas. Section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 provides for a loan guarantee component of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program (Section 108) provides communities with a source of financing for economic development, housing rehabilitation, public facilities, and other physical development projects, including improvements to increase their resilience against natural disasters. The funds can be used by a designated public entity to undertake eligible projects, or, alternatively, can be loaned to a third party developer to undertake the projects. This flexibility makes it one of the most potent and important public investment tools that HUD offers to local governments.
Homeownership Centers by State

This service denotes the service areas for HUD's Homeownership Centers (HOCs) by state. Processing for much of the Single Family FHA mortgages is centralized into one of four HOCs located in  Atlanta, Philadelphia, Denver, and Santa Ana; each supporting specific geographic region. Although most questions are handled by the FHA Resource Center (not the HOC) for immediate acknowledgement and tracking, certain case specific issues will subsequently be referred to the appropriate center.
Sandy Damage Estimates by Block Group

A FEMA housing inspection for renters is used to assess personal property loss and for owners to assess damage to their home as well as personal property. This inspection is done to determine eligibility for FEMA Individual Assistance. For both rental and owner inspections, if the property has flood damage the inspector measures the height of the flooding. They indicate the highest floor of the flooding (for example, Basement, 1st floor, 2nd floor, etc...) and the height of the flooding in that room. In addition for the units without flooding, HUD has estimated minor/major/severe damage based on the damage inspection estimates for real property (owner) and personal property (renter).
Revitalization Areas by Block Group

This service denotes HUD designated Revitalization Areas - areas eligible for discounted sale of HUD-owned single family properties through special programs - by 2010 U.S. Census Block Groups. Revitalization Areas are HUD-designated geographic areas authorized by Congress under provisions of the National Housing Act intended to promote "revitalization, through expanded homeownership opportunities.” HUD-owned single-family properties located in a Revitalization Areas are eligible for discounted sale through special programs, including the Asset Control Areas (ACA) Program, and the Good Neighbor Next Door (GNND) Program.
Revitalization Areas

Revitalization areas are HUD-designated neighborhoods in need of economic and community development and where there is already a strong commitment by the local governments. Revitalization Areas are the basis for HUD programs such as Good Neighbor Next Door (GNND) and Asset Control Areas (ACA).

Revitalization Areas

This service provides location and program data for HUD-FHA Revitalization Areas. Revitalization Areas are HUD-designated geographic areas authorized by Congress under provisions of the National Housing Act intended to promote "revitalization, through expanded homeownership opportunities.” HUD-owned single-family properties located in a Revitalization Areas are eligible for discounted sale through special programs, including the Asset Control Areas (ACA) Program, and the Good Neighbor Next Door (GNND) Program. Revitalization Areas are determined by comparing a block group's median household income and home ownership rate to the respective rates of the surrounding area. If the block group is located in a CBSA Metropolitan area, then the metro area is used. However, if the block group is located in a Non-Metro area, then the state rate is used.
Residential Construction Permits by County

This dataset contains data on permits for residential construction collected in the Census Bureau's Building Permits Survey. Data is aggregated to the County level. Data is only for final permits, not preliminary permits. Final permit data is published in May of the following year. Annual data are available from 1980 through the most recent reporting year, and may also contain imputed values. This dataset is part of the State of the Cities Data Systems (SOCDS).
Rural Innovation Fund Grantees

There is a need for innovative and catalytic economic development and housing programs that create jobs through business development and expansion and expand the supply of affordable housing in rural areas. Through the Rural Innovation Fund (RIF), HUD is funding local rural nonprofit organizations, community development corporations, federally recognized Indian tribes, state housing finance agencies (HFAs), and state economic development and community development agencies (including consortia of such entities) with demonstrated capacity to undertake comprehensive projects that address the problems of concentrated rural housing distress and community poverty. HUD solicits applications for projects of sufficient scale and impact relative to the identified need to demonstrate a measurable improvement in the quality of life within the project area.
Rental Housing Finance Survey

The purpose of the RHFS is to provide current and continuous measure of the financial health and property characteristics of single-family and multifamily rental housing properties in the United States.  The survey provides information on the financing of single-family and multifamily rental housing properties with emphasis on new originations for purchase, refinancing, and loan terms associated with these originations. In addition, the survey includes information on property characteristics, such as number of units, amenities available, rental income and expenditure information.  This survey was conducted in 2012 and will be conducted in 2015.
Racially or Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAPs) 2020

To assist communities in identifying racially/ethnically-concentrated areas of poverty (R/ECAPs), HUD has developed a census tract-based definition of R/ECAPs. The definition involves a racial/ethnic concentration threshold and a poverty test. The racial/ethnic concentration threshold is straightforward: R/ECAPs must have a non-white population of 50 percent or more. Regarding the poverty threshold, Wilson (1980) defines neighborhoods of extreme poverty as census tracts with 40 percent or more of individuals living at or below the poverty line.

Public Housing Physical Inspection Scores

HUD's Real Estate Assessment Center conducts physical property inspections of properties that are owned, insured or subsidized by HUD, including public housing and multifamily assisted housing. About 20,000 such inspections are conducted each year to ensure that assisted families have housing that is decent, safe, sanitary and in good repair. This page provides a full historical view of the results of those inspections, providing point-in-time property scores. Results are available for download as a comma-delimited dataset. Separate datasets are available for public housing and for multifamily assisted properties. The results represent the inspections conducted from 2001 through January 2015. The dataset includes property identifiers and location information. 

Detailed descriptions of the inspection processes can be found in Federal Register notices 66 FR 59084 for public housing and 65 FR77230 for Office of Housing programs. 

Making these inspection details available will enable researchers, advocacy groups and the general public to 
 1) better understand the physical condition of the HUD-assisted housing stock, as well as changes in the stock over time;
 2) hold providers accountable for housing quality; and 
3) plan for future affordable housing needs.
Rural Innovation Fund Grantee Areas

This dataset provides location and program information for Rural Innovation Fund (RIF) grant allocation areas. Data for this service is derived from one of two sources: Rural Innovation Fund grantee applications describing proposed allocation areas using U.S. Census block geography, or block-level data identified and selected through the use of mapping tool available to applicants through HUDUSER.gov. Each Grantee was allowed up to three target area locations according to the RIF NOFA. Some Grantee locations serve the same target areas so the map layer does include some overlapping boundaries.
Public Housing Developments

This dataset denotes the general position of Public Housing Developments by providing the location of the building with the largest number of units in a Development’s community. HUD furnishes technical and professional assistance in planning, developing and managing these developments. Public Housing Developments are depicted as a distinct address chosen to represent the general location of an entire Public Housing Development, which may be comprised of several buildings scattered across a community. The building with the largest number of units is selected to represent the location of the development.
