Major Changes This Year

(For previous years’ changes, see Appendix C)

Questions on repairs, improvements, and alterations

were redesigned to produce data more consistent with

other surveys, such as the Consumer Expenditures Survey

and the Survey of Residential Improvements and Repairs.

Because of the changes, data are not comparable with previous American Housing surveys. New tables include:

• Additions to residential structures

• Additions and alterations outside residential structures

• Alterations within residential structures

• Major replacements

• Maintenance, repairs and other work

Data were collected on:

• Amount spent

• Number of jobs

To learn more about the modifications people make to

their homes to accommodate people with physical limitations, a series of questions was added asking about

changes made to homes and the disabilities people have.

The section on Physical Limitations and Housing Modifications includes data on:

• Physical limitations

• Housing modifications

• Person or equipment aids

• Multistructure modifications

• Number of persons per household reporting limitations.

A new data item was added to the Journey to Work

section:

• Worked at home last week.

For more detailed definitions, see Appendix A.

U.S. Census Bureau
Explanations and Cautions

EXPLANATIONS

Survey authority and confidentiality. The U.S. Census

Bureau conducts the American Housing Survey to obtain

up-to-date housing statistics for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Title 12, Sections

1701Z-1 and 1701Z-2g of the U.S. Code authorize the Secretary of HUD to collect data from public and private agencies and protect the confidentiality of the data. Title 12,

Section 1701Z-10 mandates the collection of the data for

the American Housing Survey. The guarantee of confidentiality made to respondents is provided by the U.S. Census

Bureau. Title 13, Section 9a, of the U.S. Code provides that

all information which would permit identification of individuals will be held in strict confidence. Such information

may be seen only by sworn U.S. Census Bureau employees

and may be used only for statistical purposes. Section 214

of Title 13 sets penalties for disclosing confidential information. Unauthorized disclosure of individual information

by a sworn Census Bureau employee is punishable by a

fine of up to $5,000 or imprisonment of up to 5 years, or

both. The U.S. Census Bureau is authorized under Title 31,

Section 1535 of the U.S. Code, to perform special work or

services for other federal agencies.

Contents of book. This book presents supplemental

data for occupied housing units by type (apartments,

single-family homes, and mobile homes)and family type;

age, sex, and race of householders; income; housing and

neighborhood quality; housing costs; equipment and

fuels; and size of housing units. The book also presents

data on journey to work, and additional residential

units—both vacation and investment properties (for totaloccupied and owner-occupied units). Also featured are

data on repairs, improvements, and alterations; physical

limitations; and housing modifications.

Scope of the survey. The American Housing Survey

(AHS)is conducted by field representatives who obtain

information from occupants of homes. The 1995 national

survey was conducted from August 1995 through February 1996. This national sample of about 55,000 interviews

was conducted every other year from 1973, when it

started, to 1981, when data collection was changed to

every year and the survey was renamed the Annual Housing Survey.

CAUTIONS

Sampling and nonsampling errors. The numbers in

this book included sampling error and other causes of

error, such as incomplete or wrong answers. Table A

shows how big the errors from sampling are. Nonsampling

errors can be even bigger.

As an example of how to use table A, suppose this

book shows 1,000,000 homes of a certain type. The table

shows the range of error is 91,000 homes. This means

there are likely to be between 909,000 and 1,091,000

homes of this type. More precision cannot be obtained

from this survey.

Appendix D gives more detailed formulas to calculate

errors for a wide range of items. Appendix D also gives

some estimates of nonsampling errors.

Undercoverage and nonresponse. Each home in the

AHS sample represents a large number of other homes.

Because of incomplete sampling lists (i.e., undercoverage)

and nonresponse, the homes in the survey do not represent all homes in the country. Therefore, the raw numbers

from the survey are adjusted to match independent estimates of the total number of homes. These independent

estimates are based on the 1990 Census of Housing, plus

changes since then. Housing unit undercoverage and

household nonresponse is about 7 percent. Housing unit

undercoverage is about 1.9 percent, based on adjusted

counts from the 1990 census.

The weighting procedures used for AHS-N partially correct for the bias due to nonresponse and housing unit

undercoverage, but not undercoverage (missed people)

v

U.S. Census Bureau
within households. The procedures assume the housing

units missed by the survey are like those included, which

is not entirely accurate. Housing unit undercoverge varies

by age, ethnicity, and race of householder and type of

household. For some groups, such as Blacks, the undercoverage is at least 9 percent. Some AHS-N estimates are

affected by missed persons within sample households.

These are persons per room, square feet per person, some

household composition items (e.g., persons per household), and income characteristics. We don’t know the

effect of this within-household undercoverage on these

characteristics. Appendix D shows how complete the

answers were for each question, before adjustments.

Appendix B explains how the numbers were proportionally

adjusted.

Income and poverty. Historically, the AHS underreports

income and overreports poverty when compared with the

Current Population Survey (CPS). Both surveys underreport

income and overreport poverty when compared with tax

returns and national income accounts. The AHS questionnaire identifies fewer sources of income than the CPS. The

poverty data in the AHS are not published as an official

count of households in poverty, but to show the housing

characteristics of low-income households. For a discussion

of income and poverty, see appendix C.

A detailed discussion of AHS income data is presented

in the Census Bureau memorandum for the record, ‘‘Comparison of 1989 AHS and CPS Income Reporting.’’ The

memorandum for the record, ‘‘AHS Poverty Data, 1985 to

1993,’’ presents a detailed discussion of AHS poverty data.

Copies of both memorandums can be obtained by writing

to the Housing and Household Economic Statistics Division

(HHES), at the address in Table B.

Telephone interviewing. The use of Computer Assisted

Telephone Interviewing (CATI)in part of the AHS sample

has significant effects on a variety of characteristics. The

CATI portion of the sample produces lower estimates for

many housing quality problems and higher estimates for

some income and cost items. For more discussion of CATI,

see appendix B and appendix C.

DATA AVAILABILITY

The AHS data are presented nationally as well as for

major selected metropolitan areas. Table B shows the

sources for obtaining AHS data, the products available,

and the pricing for each product. Each source or organization offering AHS data sets its own charges, so prices may

vary. For the data user whose needs are not met by the

book tabulations (printed books), microdata are available

on tapes and CD-ROM’s so that data can be tabulated in

any way desired. Microdata are also available on the Internet. Contact HHES for more details. To protect the confidentiality of the respondents, names, addresses, and

places smaller than 100,000 people are not identified. The

sample design generally will not support analysis for areas

smaller than those shown in the books.

330 Supplement to the American Housing Survey for the United States in 1995
Appendix A.

Definitions

The definitions in this appendix are basically the same

for both the American Housing Survey (AHS) National

sample and the American Housing Survey Metropolitan

sample. Definitions for some items have changed over

time. For a discussion of historical changes, see Appendix

C. The definitions in this appendix represent the situation

at the time of this survey. To help find topics in this

appendix, readers may want to use the Subject Index at

the back of this book.

The AHS was conducted by personal interview. The survey interviewers were instructed to read the questions

directly from the questionnaire. The definitions and explanations given for each subject are, to a considerable

extent, drawn from various technical and procedural materials used in the collection of the data. These materials

helped the field interviewers to understand more fully the

intent of each question and, thus, to resolve problems or

unusual cases. Additional explanatory information has

been added to this portion of the text to assist the user in

understanding the statistics.

Age of householder. The age classification refers to the

age reported for the householder as of that person’s last

birthday.

Additions to residential structures. The data refer to

the actual enlargement of the structure by adding one or

more of the following:

• Room

• Porch

• Attached garage

• Carport

• Deck

• Any other outside attachments

Attached garages, porches, decks, and carports that

were reported as replaced were counted as additions

because most replacements of these types are believed to

represent improvements and therefore, are more accurately described as an addition than a replacement.

See also ‘‘Amount spent’’ and ‘‘Number of jobs.’’

Additions and alterations outside residential structures. The data refer to additions and alterations to the

residential lot or yard but not to the residential structure

itself. The data include:

The addition of septic tanks

The addition or replacement of:

• Driveways or walkways

• Fencing or walls

• Patios, terraces, or detached decks

• Swimming pools or tennis courts

• Detached sheds, garages, or any other detached

structure

• Any other major improvement or repair done to the

lot or yard

See also ‘‘Amount spent’’ and ‘‘Number of jobs.’’

Alterations within residential structures. The data

refer to changes or improvements made within or on the

structure. The changes or improvements include:

• Creation of a room from previously unfinished space

• Total remodeling of previously existing finished space

• Simple improvement of existing finished space through

such activities as the installation of paneling or ceiling

tiles or the addition of insulation.

See also ‘‘Amount spent’’ and ‘‘Number of jobs.’’

Amount spent. The data are presented for all owneroccupied housing units that had expenditures for additions to their residential structures; additions and alterations on the property outside the residential structure;

alterations within the residential structure; major replacements of relatively expensive items within the structure;

and same types of maintenance, repairs, and other work

to the residential structure. The amount spent is the total

amount spent by the household on all jobs done during

the 24-month time period prior to the date of interview.

The amount spent is shown by whether or not members

of the household did more than half of the work.

Area definitions. The data shown in this report relate to

areas as defined for the 1980 census for urban, rural,

farm, and nonfarm; and as of 1983, as defined by OMB for

metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. The area definitions used in this report were not updated to include any

OMB decisions after 1983 or the 1990 census results.

Bedrooms. The number of bedrooms in the housing unit

is the count of rooms used mainly for sleeping, even if

also used for other purposes. Rooms reserved for sleeping, such as guest rooms, even though used infrequently,

Appendix A A-1

U.S. Census Bureau
are counted as bedrooms. On the other hand, rooms used

mainly for other purposes, even though used also for

sleeping, such as a living room with a hideaway bed, are

not considered bedrooms. A housing unit consisting of

only one room, such as a one-room efficiency apartment,

is classified by definition as having no bedroom.

Central cities. Every metropolitan statistical area has at

least one central city, which is usually its largest city.

Smaller cities are also identified as central cities if they

have at least 25,000 population and meet the following

two commuting requirements. First, the city must have at

least 75 jobs for each 100 residents who are employed.

Second, no more than 60 percent of the city’s resident

workers may commute to jobs outside the city limits. In

addition, any city with at least 250,000 population or at

least 100,000 persons working within its corporate limits

qualifies as a central city, even if it fails to meet the above

two commuting requirements. Finally, in certain smaller

metropolitan statistical areas, there are places with

between 15,000 and 25,000 population that also qualify

as central cities, because they are at least one-third the

size of the metropolitan statistical area’s largest city and

meet the two commuting requirements.

Comparability with 1990 Census of Population and

Housing data. The concepts and definitions are essentially the same for items that appear in both the 1990 census and the AHS national reports.

A variety of data on mortgages and homeowner properties are presented in publications from the Residential

Finance Survey. Differences in the concepts and definitions

in this survey and the American Housing Survey publications include the following: the basic unit of tabulation in

AHS is the housing unit; in Residential Finance publications, it is the property. All the data in AHS are provided

by the occupant; in Residential Finance publications, mortgage is reconciled with responses from the lender.

In the American Housing Survey, units are classified as

new construction if constructed 4 years or less from the

date of interview. In publications from the 1990 Census of

Housing, units are classified as new construction if constructed in 1985 through 1990.

Data on poverty level in the 1990 Census of Housing

do not contain the income of household members unrelated to the householder. In the AHS, data on poverty level

include the income of all household members, whether or

not they are related to the householder.

Income data in the AHS are based on income for the 12

months prior to interview of those household members 14

years and older. The 1990 Census of Housing income data

are for calendar year 1989 and for income of household

members 15 years and older.

Differences between the AHS data and the 1990 census

may also be attributed to several other factors. These factors include the extensive use of self-enumeration in the

census in contrast to personal interview in the survey; differences in processing procedures and sample designs;

the sampling variability associated with the sample data

from both the AHS and the census; the nonsampling errors

associated with the survey estimates; and the nonsampling errors associated with census data.

Comparability with current construction reports

from the Survey of Construction. The Census Bureau

issues several publications under the general titles, ‘‘Current Construction Reports.’’ The data for these reports are

primarily from the Survey of Construction.

The Survey of Construction consists of approximately

8,300 permit-issuing places throughout the United States.

The reports from the survey contain current data on housing starts and completions, construction authorized by

building permits, new one-unit structures sold and for

sale, characteristics of new housing, and value of new

construction put in place. The concepts and definitions

used in this report differ from some of those used in the

Survey of Construction. The major difference is that the

Survey of Construction shows counts and characteristics

of housing units in various stages of construction through

completion. The American Housing Survey shows counts

and characteristics of the existing housing inventory.

Additional differences between the AHS and the Survey of

Construction may be attributed to factors such as the

sampling variability and nonsampling errors of the data

from the two surveys, survey procedures and techniques,

and processing procedures.

Complete bathrooms. A housing unit is classified as

having a complete bathroom if it has a room with a flush

toilet, bathtub or shower, a sink, and hot and cold piped

water. All facilities must be in the same room to be a complete bathroom. A half bathroom has either a flush toilet

or a bathtub or shower but does not have all the facilities

for a complete bathroom.

Consolidated metropolitan statistical area. A consolidated metropolitan statistical area (CMSA) is a Level A

(population size of 1,000 or more) metropolitan statistical

area when at least two primary metropolitan statistical

areas are defined.

Cooperatives and condominiums. A cooperative is a

type of ownership whereby a group of housing units are

owned by a corporation of member-owners. Each individual member is entitled to occupy or rent out an individual housing unit and is a shareholder in the corporation

that owns the property.

A condominium is a type of ownership that enables a

person to own an apartment or house in a project of similarly owned units. The owner has the deed and very likely

the mortgage on the unit occupied. The owner may also

hold common or joint ownership in some or all common

areas such as grounds, hallways, entrances, elevators, etc.

A-2 Appendix A

U.S. Census Bureau
Cooperative or condominium ownership may apply to

various types of structures including single-family houses,

rowhouses, townhouses, etc., as well as apartment units.

Current income. Information on current income is not

published separately. It is used in the calculation of ‘‘Ratio

of value to current income,’’ and ‘‘Monthly housing costs

as percent of current income.’’ It is felt that respondents

who have only recently entered the job market and those

who changed jobs during the past year often report a previous year’s income, which is too low to accurately reflect

their current financial situation as it relates to the value of

their home and their housing costs.

Elderly. Data for elderly include all households with a

householder of 65 years of age and over.

Elevator on floor. Statistics are shown for the number of

housing units in structures with two or more floors that

have one or more passenger elevators on the same floor

as the sample unit, and whether they are in working or

nonworking condition. Excluded are elevators used only

for freight.

Family households. Family refers to the householder

and all (one or more) other persons living in the same

household who may be related to the householder by

blood, marriage or adoption. Married couples related to

the householder of a family are included in the family and

are not considered as separate families unless they reside

in separate living quarters.

Married couple. Each household in this group consists of

the householder and spouse and one or more other persons, if any.

Male householder, no wife present. This category includes

families with male householders who are married, but

with wife absent because of separation or other reason

where husband and wife maintain separate residences;

and male householders who are widowed, divorced, or

single.

Female householder, no husband present. This category

includes families with female householders who are married, but with husband absent because of separation or

other reason where husband and wife maintain separate

residences; and female householders who are widowed,

divorced, or single.

Own children under 18 years old. Statistics on presence of

own children of households are shown in this report. Children under 18 years old are defined as an own children if

they are a single (never married) son, daughter, stepchild,

or adopted child of a householder. Own children of subfamilies are excluded from the total count of own children.

Farm-nonfarm residence. In rural areas, occupied housing units are subdivided into rural-farm housing (which

comprises all rural units on farms) and rural-nonfarm

housing (which comprises the remaining rural units).

Occupied housing units are classified as farm units if the

sales of agricultural products amounted to at least $1,000

during the 12-month period prior to the interview. Occupied units in rural territory that do not meet the definition

for farm housing are classified as nonfarm.

Financial characteristics. Financial characteristics are

shown for all households, family, and nonfamily households. Data are shown for Household income, Monthly

housing costs, Median monthly housing costs for owners,

Monthly housing costs as percent of current income, and

Value.

Floors in home. Finished floors are counted. For split

level and bilevel houses, the highest number of floors that

are physically over each other are counted. An unfinished

attic is not counted as a floor.

Flush toilet and flush toilet breakdowns. A privy or

chemical toilet is not considered a flush toilet. Flush toilets outside the unit were not counted. The statistics on

breakdowns of flush toilet are shown for housing units

with at least one flush toilet for the household’s use only.

The flush toilet may be completely unusable because of a

faulty flushing mechanism, broken pipes, stopped up soil

pipe, lack of water supplied to the flush toilet, or some

other reason.

Data on breakdowns are classified by whether any of

the flush toilets were working in the 3 months prior to the

interview, or while the household was living in the unit if

less than 3 months, and the number of times the breakdown lasted 6 hours or more.

Heating problems. For breakdowns of heating equipment, statistics are shown for housing units occupied by

the householder during the winter prior to the interview.

The data are classified by whether the housing unit was

uncomfortably cold for 24 hours or more, the number of

times equipment breakdowns occurred lasting 6 hours or

more, and causes for the breakdowns.

The heating equipment is broken down if it is not providing heat at its normal heating capacity through some

fault in the equipment. Utility interruptions occur when

there is a cut off in the gas, electricity, or other fuel supplying the heat. Inadequate heating capacity refers to

heating equipment that is providing heat at its normal

capacity, but the housing unit is still too cold for the occupants. Inadequate insulation refers to air drafts through

window frames, electrical outlets, or walls that are cold.

Hispanic. The classification ‘‘Hispanic’’ refers to the origin of the householder occupying the housing unit.

Detailed characteristics of housing units with Hispanic

Appendix A A-3

U.S. Census Bureau
householders are presented in chapter 5. Hispanic origin

was determined on the basis of a question that asked for

self-identification of persons living in the unit who were

Hispanic or Spanish American. Hispanic persons may be of

any race.

Data on Hispanic households shown in American Housing Survey National reports are collected in the 50 states

and the District of Columbia, and therefore do not include

households in Puerto Rico.

Household. A household consists of all the persons who

occupy a housing unit. By definition, the count of households is the same as the count of occupied housing units.

Household composition by age of householder. Statistics by age of householder are presented separately for

two-or-more-person households and for one-person households. Households having two or more persons are further

subdivided as follows:

Married-couple families, no nonrelatives. Each household

in this group consists of the householder and spouse, and

other persons, if any, all of whom are related to the householder.

Other male householder. This category includes households with male householders who are married, but with

wife absent because of separation or other reason where

husband and wife maintain separate residences; and male

householders who are widowed, divorced, or single. Also

included are households with male householder, wife

present and nonrelatives living with them.

Other female householder. This category includes households with female householders who are married, but with

husband absent because of separation or other reason

where husband and wife maintain separate residences;

and female householders who are widowed, divorced, or

single. Also included are households with female householder, husband present, and nonrelatives living with

them.

Households consisting of only one person are shown

separately for male householder and female householder

under the category ‘‘one-person households.’’

Householder. The householder is the first household

member 18 years old and over who is the owner or renter

of the sample unit. If no household member occupying the

sample unit owns or rents the unit, the householder is the

first household member listed who is 18 years old or

older.

Householder who worked last week. This applies to a

householder who worked at any time last week either as

an employee for someone else, or in one’s own business,

worked with or without pay in a business or farm operated by a relative, or worked part time. Not included in

this total were persons absent from work all last week due

to illness, vacation, strike, or layoff.

Housing modifications. People with physical limitations

were asked if they had housing modifications or if they

needed modifications. These modifications could include:

• Ramps

• Elevators or stair lifts

• Extra handrails or grab bars

• Extra wide doors or hallways

• Door handles instead of knobs

• Push bars on doors

• Modified wall sockets or light switches

• Modified sink faucets or cabinets

• Bathrooms and kitchens designed for easier accessibility

• Raised letters or braille

• Specially equipped telephones

• Flashing lights

Housing modification data presented in Table 15 does

not include data not reported. As a result, for each modification, the total number of modifications needed and not

needed is smaller than the total number of modifications

present and not present in the home.

Housing units. A housing unit is a house, an apartment,

a group of rooms, or a single room occupied or intended

for occupancy as separate living quarters. Separate living

quarters are those in which the occupants do not live and

eat with any other persons in the structure and that have

direct access from the outside of the building or through a

common hall that is used or intended for use by the occupants of another unit or by the general public. The occupants may be a single family, one person living alone, two

or more families living together, or any other group of

related or unrelated persons who share living arrangements (except as described in the section on group quarters). For vacant units, the criteria of separateness and

direct access are applied for the intended occupants whenever possible. If the information cannot be obtained, the

criteria are applied for the previous occupants. Both occupied and vacant housing units are included in the housing

inventory, except that tents, caves, boats, railroad cars,

and the like, are included only if they are occupied.

Income. The statistics on income are based on the

respondent’s reply to questions on income for the 12

months prior to the interview and are the sum of the

amounts reported for wage and salary income, selfemployment income, interest or dividends, stock dividends, Social Security or railroad retirement income, public assistance or welfare payments, alimony or child

support, and all other money income. The figure represents the amount of income received before deductions

A-4 Appendix A

U.S. Census Bureau
for personal income taxes, Social Security, union dues,

bond purchases, health insurance premiums, medicare

deductions, etc. Medians for income are rounded to the

nearest hundred dollars.

In this report, the statistics are shown for the money

income for the household (the sum of the income of the

householder and all other household members 14 years

old and over.) Household income is shown separately for

family households and nonfamily households.

Wage or salary income is defined as the total money

earnings received for work performed as an employee at

any time during the 12-month period prior to the interview. It includes wages, salary, price-rate payments, commissions, tips, cash bonuses, and Armed Forces pay. Selfemployment income is defined as money income received

from a business, professional practice, partnership, or

farm in which the person was self-employed. Social Security or pensions includes cash receipts of Social Security

pensions, survivors’ benefits, disability insurance programs for retired persons, dependents of deceased

insured workers, or disabled workers, and deducations for

medicare and health insurance premiums. Cash receipts of

retirement, disability, and survivors’ benefit payments

made by the U.S. government under the Railroad Retirement Act are also included. Separate payments received

for hospital or other medical care are not included.

Income from all other sources includes money income

received from sources such as periodic payments from

interest or dividends; net rental income (or loss) from

property rentals; net receipts from roomers or boarders;

net royalties; public assistance or welfare payments which

include cash receipts received from public assistance programs, such as old age assistance, aid to families with

dependent children, and aid to the blind or totally disabled; unemployment insurance benefits; workmen’s compensation cash benefits; periodic payments by the Veteran’s Administration to disabled veterans; public or private

pensions; periodic receipts from insurance policies or

annuities; alimony or child support from people who are

not members of the household; net gambling gains; and

nonservice scholarships and fellowships.

Receipts from the following sources were not included

as income: Value of income ‘‘in kind,’’ such as, free living

quarters, housing subsidies, food stamps, or food produced and consumed in the home; money received from

the sale of property (unless the recipient was engaged in

the business of selling such property); money borrowed;

tax refund; withdrawal of bank deposits; accrued interest

on uncashed savings bonds; exchange of money between

relatives living in the same household; gifts of money; and

lump-sum payments from inheritances, insurance policies,

estates, trusts, gifts, etc.

The income statistics and the characteristics of the

household refer to different periods in time. Income data

refer to the 12 months prior to the interview, whereas the

household characteristics refer to the date of interview.

Thus, household income does not include amounts

received by persons who were members of the family during all or part of the income period, if these persons no

longer resided with the family at the time of the interview.

On the other hand, household income includes income

reported by persons who did not reside with the household during the income period but who were members at

the time of the interview. For most households, however,

the income reported was received by persons who were

members of the household throughout the income period.

There may be significant differences in the income data

between the American Housing Survey and other Census

Bureau surveys and censuses. For example, the time

period for income data in the American Housing Survey

refers to the 12 months prior to the interview while other

income data generally refer to the calendar year prior to

the date of the interview. Additional differences in the

income data may be attributed to factors such as the various ways income questions are asked, the sampling variability and nonsampling errors between the American

Housing Survey and other Census Bureau surveys and censuses, survey procedures and techniques, and processing

procedures.

Investment properties. Investment property characteristics are shown for up to six additional properties. Investment properties may be single unit or multiunit buildings.

Units reported as both vacation and investment properties

are classified as vacation units.

Journey to work. This category includes statistics of the

number of Owner occupied housing units for Workers,

Principal means of transportation to work last week,

Travel time from home to work, Distance from home to

work, Departure time to work. These categories were

cross classified by All workers, Householders who worked

last week and Householders who worked at home last

week. See individual listing.

All workers. This is limited to those people 14 years and

older who reported having a job the week prior to interview within the United States.

Principal means of transportation to work last week.

Means of transportation refers to the principal mode of

travel used to get from home to work. Householders who

used different means of transportation on different days

of the week were asked to specify the one used most

often. Householders who used more than one means of

transportation to get to work each day were asked to

specify the one used for the longest distance during the

work trip. Mass transportation refers to bus or streetcar

and subway or elevated railroad.

Travel time from home to work. The total elapsed time in

minutes that the person reported it usually took to get

from home to work during the week prior to interview was

Appendix A A-5

U.S. Census Bureau
counted as the travel time to work. The elapsed time

included time spent waiting for public transportation and

picking up members of car pools. Respondents were

instructed to report travel time to the nearest minute.

No fixed place of work. Workers with no fixed place of

work were those who did not usually work at the same

location each day and did not usually report in to a central

location to begin work each day.

Distance from home to work. The one-way, ‘‘door-to-door’’

distance in miles that the person reported usually traveling from home to work during the week prior to interview

was counted as the travel distance to work. Respondents

were instructed to report travel rounded to the nearest

mile.

Departure time to work. Refers to the time (hour and minutes) the respondent left for work. The categories begin

with 12:00 a.m. and progress to 11:59 p.m.

Worked at home last week. This is the number of hours

worked by those who did regularly scheduled work for

their employer at home.

Living quarters. Living quarters are classified as either

housing units or group quarters. Usually, living quarters

are in structures intended for residential use (for example,

a one-unit structure, apartment house, hotel or motel,

boarding house, or mobile home or trailer). Living quarters may also be in structures intended for nonresidential

use (for example, the rooms in a warehouse where a

watchman lives), as well as in places such as tents, caves,

and old railroad cars. We count these as living quarters if

they are occupied.

Location of property. Refers to the distance from current residence to the vacation or investment property. Statistics are shown for within 150 miles or 150 miles and

greater from current residence.

Maintenance, repairs, and other work. Maintenance

and repairs include the replacement of the following:

• Some siding

• Some interior water pipes

• Fuse boxes or breaker switches

• Insulation

• Finished flooring

• Ceiling tiles

• Furnace/heating equipment parts

Other work included:

• Extensive repairs made as a result of a major disaster

• Addition of wall-to-wall carpeting over already finished

flooring

• Any other major improvement done inside the residence

See also ‘‘Amount spent’’ and ‘‘Number of jobs.’’

Major replacements. The following is a list of relatively

expensive items that, when replaced, are considered to be

major replacements rather than additions or alterations to

the residential structure.

• Roof over entire home

• All the siding

• All the interior water pipes

• All the electrical wiring

• Doors or windows

• Plumbing fixture (for example, sinks or bathtubs)

• Central air conditioning

• Furnace, heat pump or boiler

• Septic tank

• Water heater

• Dishwasher

• Garbage disposal

In general, the distinction between major replacements

and additions and alterations is that major replacements

are not innovations. Installation of a bathtub where there

had not been one before is an alteration, but the substitution of a new bathtub for an old one is a major replacement.

See also ‘‘Amount spent’’ and ‘‘Number of jobs.’’

Median monthly housing costs for owners. Two additional medians are shown separately for owner-occupied

units. The first median includes maintenance costs in

addition to those items included in ‘‘Monthly housing

costs,’’ see item. The second excludes second and subsequent mortgages, installment loans or contracts, and

maintenance costs; but includes all remaining items listed

in ‘‘Monthly housing costs.’’

Medians. We estimate each median from the printed distribution. If there are 10 million homes of a particular

type, the median is the 5 millionth, or halfway point of

these homes. Therefore, if 4 million homes are below

$400 rent, then the median is the millionth home above

$400. Finally, if the next interval printed in the book (from

$400 to $449), has 3 million homes, the median is

assumed to be one-third of the way through the interval

(at $417). Actually, this technique overestimates medians

by a few percent since most homes cluster at the bottom

of their intervals. The clustering happens because landlords ask for rent in round numbers, like $400, and people

give answers in round numbers, like $20,000 income, or

40 years old. There is one special case in calculating medians: For numbers of people or rooms, we assume an interval like 3 means 2.50 to 3.49, so one-third of the way

through is 2.83. This method is used rather than just saying that the median is 3, in order to give a more detailed

picture of the distribution. We do not show the median at

A-6 Appendix A

U.S. Census Bureau
all if the distribution is estimated to have fewer than 25

sample cases (50,000 homes in the national report,

smaller numbers in the metropolitan reports).

Metropolitan statistical areas. Metropolitan statistical

areas (MSAs) shown in the American Housing Survey are

defined by the Office of Management and Budget. By current standards, as published in the Federal Register on

January 3, 1980, an area qualifies for recognition as an

MSA in one of two ways: if there is a city of at least

50,000 population, or a Census Bureau-defined urbanized

area of at least 50,000 with a total metropolitan population of at least 100,000 (75,000 in New England). Except

in the New England states, an MSA is defined in terms of

entire counties. In New England, MSAs are composed of

cities and towns. In addition to the county containing the

main city, additional counties are included in an MSA if

they are socially and economically integrated with the central county. An MSA may contain more than one city of

50,000 population and may cross state lines.

Month costs for electricity and gas. See Appendix C.

Monthly housing costs. The data are presented for

owner-occupied and renter-occupied households. Monthly

housing costs for owner-occupied units is the sum of

monthly payments for all mortgages or installment loans

or contracts, real estate taxes (including taxes on mobile

homes or trailer sites if the site is owned), property insurance, homeowners association fee, cooperative or condominium fee, mobile home park fee, land rent, utilities

(electricity, gas, water, and sewage disposal), fuels (oil,

coal, kerosene, wood, etc.), and garbage and trash collection. As of 1989, data on the costs of electricity and gas

are collected differently (see ‘‘Monthly costs of electricity

and gas’’ definition). Because of this, ‘‘Monthly housing

costs’’ in 1989 and beyond may not be entirely comparable with data published in previous years.

For renter-occupied housing units, monthly housing

costs include the contract rent plus the estimated average

monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, water, and sewage disposal), and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.);

property insurance, mobile home land rent, and garbage

and trash collection if these items are paid for by the

renter (or paid for by someone else, such as a relative,

welfare agency, or friend) in addition to rent. Renter housing units occupied without payment of cash rent are

shown separately as no cash rent. For rental units subsidized by a public housing authority, the federal government, or state or local governments, the monthly rental

costs reflect only the portion paid by the household and

not the portion subsidized. Before 1991, the monthly

rental costs may have included the amount subsidized for

many subsidized units.

Monthly housing costs as percent of current

income. The yearly housing costs (monthly housing

costs multiplied by 12) are expressed as a percentage of

the total current income (see definition of current income.)

This percentage is calculated for the same owner- and

renter- occupied housing units for which ‘‘Monthly housing

costs’’ were computed (for exclusions see ‘‘Monthly housing costs’’). The percentage was computed separately for

each unit and rounded to the nearest percent. The measure was not computed for units where occupants

reported no income or a net loss.

Two new questions were added to the American Housing Survey in 1989. Upon completion of the detailed

income questions, respondents were asked, ‘‘Is your total

family income THIS MONTH about the same as it was a

year ago?’’ ‘‘About the same’’ was defined as within 10 percent or just cost of living adjustments. If the respondent

answered ‘‘no,’’ a second question was asked, ‘‘What do

you expect your total family income to be in the NEXT 12

MONTHS?’’ Current income for families whose most recent

month’s income was NOT about the same as a year ago is

the ‘‘total expected family income in the NEXT 12

MONTHS.’’ Current income for families whose most recent

month’s income WAS about the same as a year ago is

‘‘family and primary individual income.’’ For the majority

of families, current income equals income of families and

primary individuals.

Before 1989, the item ‘‘Monthly housing costs as percent of income,’’ was computed by using the income of

family and primary individuals only. It was felt that

respondents who only recently entered the job market or

who changed jobs during the past year often reported a

previous year’s income, which was too low to accurately

reflect their current situation. In addition to a change in

the source of income used in calculations, the item uses

new procedures to estimate the costs of electricity and

gas (see ‘‘Monthly costs of electricity and gas’’ definition).

Mortgage status on property. The owner or the owner’s spouse was asked the status of mortgages or similar

loans currently in effect on second homes or investment

properties. A mortgage or similar debt refers to all forms

of debt where the property is pledged as security for payment of the debt. It includes such debt instruments as

deeds of trust, trust deeds, mortgage bonds, and vendors’

liens. In the first three arrangements, usually a third party,

known as the trustee, holds the title to the property until

the debt is paid. In the vendor lien arrangement, the title

is kept by the buyer but the seller (vendor) reserves, in the

deed to the buyer, a lien on the property to secure payment of the balance of the purchase price. Also included

as a mortgage or similar debt, are contracts to purchase,

land contracts, and lease-purchase agreements where the

title to the property remains with the seller until the

agreed upon payments have been made by the buyer.

Multistructure modifications. These are special modifications for building with multiunits. These include:

• Ramps

• Handrails

Appendix A A-7

U.S. Census Bureau
• Automatic doors

• Handicap parking

• Elevators with audio cuing or braille

• Accessibility for people with physical limitations to public use facilities of the building such as the lobby, laundry room and storage area

Neighborhood conditions and neighborhood services. The statistics presented in Table 4, as a percent of

the total occupied units, are based on the respondent’s

opinion and attitude toward the neighborhood in which

the resident lives. Thus, the respondent’s answer may or

may not reflect the actual description of the neighborhood. Furthermore, the respondent may not have the

same opinion as a neighbor about the neighborhood services; for example, the respondent may feel that the street

lighting or neighborhood shopping facilities are inadequate but a neighbor may not.

Neighborhood conditions and wish to move. Data on neighborhood conditions and wish to move in Table 4 are based

on the respondent’s answers to a three-part question concerning specific neighborhood conditions. The respondent

was asked (1) if the condition was present, (2) if the condition was bothersome, and (3) if the condition was so

objectionable that the respondent would like to move

from the neighborhood.

a. Street noise or heavy street traffic—Street noise refers

to noise made by children playing outdoors, noise from

a factory or business, or any other sounds that the

respondent considers street noise. Traffic refers to the

amount of vehicular traffic that the respondent considers ‘‘heavy.’’

b. Neighborhood crime—This category refers to all forms

of street and neighborhood crime such as petty theft,

assaults against the person, burglary, etc., or any

related activities that the respondent judges to be a

crime.

Neighborhood services. Data on neighborhood services

are based on the respondent’s answer to a series of questions concerning neighborhood services.

The respondent was asked a three part question on

public transportation: (1) if service is available, (2) if service is satisfactory, and (3) if any member of the household

used the service at least once a week.

Data are also collected on satisfaction with neighborhood shopping such as grocery stores and drug stores and

whether or not these stores are located within 1 mile of

the neighborhood.

Respondents were asked a three-part question on public elementary schools: (1) if children within the household

attended public elementary school or primate elementary

school, (2) if the public elementary school is satisfactory,

and (3) if the public elementary school is within 1 mile of

the neighborhood.

New construction. Housing units built in the 4 years

prior to the date of the interview are classified as new

construction.

Nights spent at vacation unit. Refers to the number of

nights spent at the unit during the past year. The median

number of nights is rounded to the nearest whole number.

Nights unit rented. This refers to the number of nights

that the unit was rented during the past year (for investment properties only). The median number of nights

rented is rounded to the nearest whole number.

Nonfamily households. These are housing units where

the householder lives alone or with nonrelatives only. A

lodger, servant, or other person unrelated to the householder is considered a member of the household but not

of the family.

Number of jobs. The data are presented for the total

number of additions to residential structures; additions

and alterations on property outside residential structure;

alterations within residential structure; major replacements of relatively expensive items within residential

structures; and maintenance, repairs and other work done

to residential structures. The estimated number of jobs is

the number of each type of job done during the 24-month

time period prior to the date of interview. One household

adding two bathrooms would count as two bathrooms

added (two jobs), as would two households each adding

one bathroom. The count of each job type is shown by

whether or not members of the household did more than

half of the work.

Number of persons per household reporting limitations. This number is limited to the first 3 household

members reporting a physical limitation.

Occupied housing units. A housing unit is classified as

occupied if a person or group of persons is living in it at

the time of the interview as their usual residence or if the

occupants are only temporarily absent, for example, on

vacation. However, if the unit is occupied entirely by persons with a usual place of residence elsewhere, the unit is

classified as vacant. By definition, the count of occupied

housing units is the same as the count of households.

Other nonfamily households. This category includes

nonfamily households with more than 1 person.

Overall opinion of neighborhood. The data presented

are based on the respondent’s overall opinion of the

neighborhood. The respondent defines neighborhood. The

respondent was asked to rate the neighborhood based on

a scale from 1 to 10, where 10 is the best and 1 is the

worst.

A-8 Appendix A

U.S. Census Bureau
Overall opinion of structure. The data presented are

based on the respondent’s overall opinion of the house or

apartment as a place to live. The respondent was asked to

rate the structure based on a scale from 1 to 10, where 10

is the best and 1 is the worst.

Person or equipment aids. People with physical limitations were asked if they had person or equipment aids or

if they needed person or equipment aids. These could

include the aid of another person, a cane, walker or

crutches, a wheelchair, or a motorized or electric cart.

Persons 65 years old and over. See Elderly.

Persons. All people occupying the housing unit are

counted. These people include not only occupants related

to the householder but also any lodgers, roomers, boarders, partners, wards, foster children, and resident employees who share the living quarters of the householder. The

data on persons show categories of the number of one

person through seven-or-more-person households. The

median for persons is rounded to the nearest tenth.

A person is counted at the usual place of residence for

that person. This count refers to the place where the person lives and sleeps most of the time. This place is not

necessarily the same as a legal residence, voting residence, or domicile.

Persons per room. Persons per room is computed for

each occupied housing unit by dividing the number of

people in the unit by the number of rooms in the unit. The

figures shown refer, therefore, to the number of housing

units having the specified ratio of persons per room.

Physical limitations. People were asked about permanent physical limitations. These limitations included:

• Problems with entering or exiting the home

• Problems getting around inside the home

Going up and down steps

Opening and closing or going through any doors

Moving between rooms

Reaching the bathroom facilities including tub,

shower, toilet or sink

Reaching the kitchen facilities including sink, stove,

refrigerator and kitchen cabinets

• Difficulty with personal activities

Cooking and preparing food

Feeding themselves

Bathing, getting in and out of the tub or shower

Grooming and dressing

Doing housework and laundry tasks

• Difficulty seeing or hearing

• Other problems.

Physical problems-moderate. A unit has moderate

physical problems if it has any of the following five problems, but none of the severe problems.

Plumbing. On at least three occasions during the last 3

months, all the flush toilets were broken down at the

same time for 6 hours or more. (See flush toilet breakdowns.)

Heating. Having unvented gas, oil, or kerosene heaters as

the primary heating equipment.

Kitchen. Lacking a kitchen sink, refrigerator, or burners

inside the structure for the exclusive use of the unit.

Hallways. Having any three of the four hallway problems

mentioned below.

Upkeep. Having any three or four of the overall list of six

upkeep problems mentioned below.

Physical problems-severe. A unit has severe physical

problems if it has any of the following five problems:

Plumbing. Lacking hot or cold piped water or a flush toilet, or lacking both bathtub and shower, all inside the

structure for the exclusive use of the unit.

Heating. Having been uncomfortably cold last winter for

24 hours or more because the heating equipment broke

down, and it broke down at least three times last winter

for at least 6 hours each time.

Electric. Having no electricity, or all of the following three

electric problems: exposed wiring; a room with no working wall outlet; and three blown fuses or tripped circuit

breakers in the last 90 days.

Hallways. Having all of the following four problems in

public areas: no working light fixtures; loose or missing

steps; loose or missing railings; and no elevator.

Upkeep. Having any five of the following six maintenance

problems: (1) water leaks from the outside, such as from

the roof, basement, windows, or doors; (2) leaks from

inside structure such as pipes or plumbing fixtures; (3)

holes in the floors; (4) holes or open cracks in the walls or

ceilings; (5) more than 8 inches by 11 inches of peeling

paint or broken plaster; or (6) signs of rats or mice in the

last 90 days.

Places. Two types of places are recognized by the Census

Bureau, incorporated places and census designated places

as defined below.

Incorporated places. Incorporated places are those that are

incorporated under the laws of their respective states as

cities, boroughs, towns, and villages.

Appendix A A-9

U.S. Census Bureau
Census designated places (CDPs). The Census Bureau has

delineated boundaries for closely settled population centers without corporate limits. To be recognized for the

census, CDP’s must have a minimum population. If located

in urbanized areas that have one or more cities of 50,000

or more population, CDP’s must have a minimum population of 5,000. All other areas except for areas in Alaska

and Hawaii require a minimum population of 1,000. The

requirements are a population of 25 in Alaska and 300 in

Hawaii.

Place size as shown in national reports reflects the

place size as of the 1980 census. More detailed information on places appears in the 1980 Population Census PC

(1)-A reports.

Poverty status. The poverty data in this report differs

from official poverty estimates in two important respects.

The first important difference is the use of a poverty definition that is based on household income in place of the

official method that is based on the income of the family

or the unrelated individual. Under the official approach,

the poverty status of two unrelated individuals living

together would be determined by comparing the income

of each individual to the poverty threshold for an unrelated individual. The result might be that both were in

poverty, both were out of poverty, or one was in poverty

and one was not. Under the approach used in this report,

the two unrelated individuals were treated as members of

a two-person family and their poverty status was determined by comparing their combined income to the poverty threshold for a two-person family. The effect of using

a poverty concept that is based on household income is to

undercount the number of persons in poverty relative to

the official estimate. A study based on the March 1975

Current Population Survey found that poverty estimates

based on a household income concept were about 6 percent lower than official estimates. For more information,

see Technical Paper X, Effect of Using a Poverty Definition

Based on Household Income, U.S. Department of Health,

Education, and Welfare, 1976. A second important difference between the poverty estimates in this report and the

official poverty estimates has to do with the method used

to measure income. The official annual poverty estimates

are based on data collected in the March supplement to

the Current Population Survey. The income questions

asked in that survey are very detailed and measure the

amount of income received during the previous calendar

year. The income questions asked in the AHS are much

less detailed and measure the amount received during the

previous 12 months. Because interviews were conducted

throughout the year, the income measures do not pertain

to a fixed period. Many of the income questions in the

AHS were asked on a household rather than an individual

income basis. The lack of data for individuals made it necessary to adopt a poverty definition based on household

income.

Officially, families and unrelated individuals are classified as being above or below the poverty level using the

poverty index originated at the Social Security Administration in 1964 and revised by the Federal Interagency Committees in 1969 and 1980. The poverty index is based

solely on money income and does not reflect the fact that

many low-income persons receive noncash benefits such

as food stamps, medicaid, and public housing. The index

is based on the Department of Agriculture’s 1961

Economy Food Plan and reflects the different consumption

requirements of families based on their size and composition. The poverty thresholds are updated every year to

reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). For further details, see Current Population Reports, Series P-60,

No. 194, Poverty in the United States: 1995.

Primary metropolitan statistical areas. Within the

metropolitan statistical areas classified as Level A (population size of 1,000,000 or more), some areas may qualify

for separate recognition as primary metropolitan statistical

areas (PMSAs). A PMSA is a large urbanized county, or cluster of counties, that demonstrates very strong internal

economic and social links, in addition to close ties to the

other portions of the Level A metropolitan statistical area.

Purchase price. Purchase price refers to the price of the

house or apartment and lot at the time the property was

purchased. Closing costs are excluded from the purchase

price, and for mobile homes the value of the land is

excluded. Median purchase price is rounded to the nearest

dollar.

Race. The classification of ‘‘race’’ refers to the race of the

householder occupying the housing unit. The concept of

race as used by the Census Bureau does not denote a

clear-cut scientific definition of biological stock. Race was

determined on the basis of a question that asked for selfidentification of a person’s race. Detailed characteristics of

units with Black householders are presented in chapter 4.

Reasons for ownership. Respondents indicated the reasons for owning additional residential property. The categories include previous usual residence, used for recreational purposes, investment purposes, unable to sell

property, inherited property, and other reasons.

Regions. The standard census geographic regions are

used in the tables of this report. States contained in each

region are as follows: Northeast—Maine, New Hampshire,

Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New

York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey; Midwest—Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota;

South—Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia,

West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,

Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas; West—Montana,

A-10 Appendix A

U.S. Census Bureau
Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho,

Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California, and

Hawaii.

Rent reductions. Rent control means that an increase in

rent is regulated by law. The jurisdiction, state or local,

mandates that percentage rent increases are set and must

be approved by a board, agency, department, division,

office, etc.

A housing unit is classified as being in a public housing

project if the structure in which the unit is located is

owned by any local or state government agency, such as a

housing and redevelopment authority or a housing development agency, and operated as public housing. These

organizations may receive subsidies from the federal or

state government, but the local agency owns the property.

A housing unit is classified as being subsidized if under

certain programs the respondent pays a lower rent

because a federal, state, or local government program

pays part of the cost of construction, building mortgage,

or operating expenses. These programs include (1) the

rental assistance program where part of the rent for lowincome families occupying the rental housing units is paid

by the Department of Housing and Urban Development

(HUD), (2) the FHA interest subsidy programs for rental

and cooperative housing for low-income families, (3) the

rent supplement program where part of the rent for lowincome families occupying certain types of HUD-assisted

rental housing projects is paid by the FHA, and (4) the

direct loan program of HUD for housing the elderly. Units

requiring income verification are subsidized units.

Rooms. The statistics on rooms are for the number of

housing units with a specified number of rooms. Rooms

counted include whole rooms used for living purposes,

such as bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens,

recreation rooms, permanently enclosed porches that are

suitable for year-round use, lodgers’ rooms, and other finished and unfinished rooms. Rooms used for offices by a

person living in the unit are also included. The median for

rooms is rounded to the nearest tenth.

A dining room, to be counted, must be a separate

room. It must be separated from adjoining rooms by

built-in floor-to-ceiling walls extending at least a few

inches from the intersecting walls. Movable or collapsible

partitions or partitions consisting solely of shelves or cabinets are not considered built-in-walls. Bathrooms are not

counted as rooms.

Selected amenities:

Porch, deck, balcony, or patio. The porch, deck, balcony,

or patio must be attached to the sample unit, not just to

the building or free standing. Porches may be enclosed or

open.

Telephone available. A housing unit is classified as having

a telephone if there is a telephone for receiving calls available to the occupants of the unit. The telephone may be

located outside or inside the housing unit, and one telephone may serve the occupants of several units. The number of housing units with a telephone available, therefore,

does not indicate the number of telephones installed in

homes.

Usable fireplace. Excludes the following: fireplaces that

have been blocked off or whose chimney or flue have

been filled, decorative or artificial fireplaces, and Franklin

stoves. Free-standing fireplaces are included in this item.

Separate dining room. A separate dining room is an area

separated from adjoining rooms by a built-in floor-toceiling wall extending at least a few inches from its intersecting wall. Built-in walls do not include movable or collapsible partitions or partitions consisting solely of

shelves and cabinets.

Living rooms, recreation rooms, etc. Includes family

rooms, dens, recreation rooms and/or libraries.

Garage or carport. The garage or carport must be on the

same property but does not have to be attached to the

house. Off street parking is considered driveway or parking lot privileges that is paid for as part of the rent. Data

on garage or carport are not collected for occasional-use

vacant and other vacant.

Selected deficiencies.

Signs of rats. The statistics on signs of rats refer to

respondents who reported seeing rats or signs of rats

inside the house or building during the last 3 months or

while the household was living in the unit if less than 3

months. Signs of rats include droppings, holes in the wall,

or ripped or torn food containers.

Holes in floors. Data are shown on whether there are holes

in the interior floors of a housing unit. The holes do not

have to go all the way through to a lower floor or to the

exterior of the unit. The holes must be large enough to

cause someone to trip.

Open cracks or holes (interior). Statistics are presented on

whether or not there are open cracks or holes in the interior walls or ceilings of the housing unit. Included are

cracks or holes that do not go all the way through to the

next room or to the exterior of the housing unit. Hairline

cracks or cracks that appear in the walls or ceilings but

are not large enough to insert the edge of a dime and very

small holes caused by nails or other similar objects are not

considered to be open cracks or holes.

Broken plaster or peeling paint (interior). The area of peeling paint or broken plaster must be on the inside walls or

ceilings and at least one area of broken plaster or peeling

paint must be larger than 8 inches by 11 inches.

Appendix A A-11

U.S. Census Bureau
Electric wiring. A housing unit is classified as having

exposed electric wiring if the unit has any wiring that is

not enclosed, either in the walls or in metal coverings, or

if the unit has any wiring outside the walls enclosed in

some material other than metal. Excluded from the tabulation are appliance cords, extension cords, chandelier

cords, and telephone, antenna, or cable TV wires.

Electric wall outlets. A housing unit is classified as having

rooms without electric wall outlets, if there is not at least

one working electric wall outlet in each room of the unit.

A working electric wall outlet is one that is in operating

condition; that is, can be used when needed. If a room

does not have an electric wall outlet, an extension cord

used in place of a wall outlet is not considered to be an

electric wall outlet.

Sewage disposal and sewage disposal breakdowns. A public sewer is connected to a city, county,

sanitary district, neighborhood, or subdivision sewer system. Included are only systems operated by a government

body or private organization sewage treatment system

serving six or more units. Small sewage treatment plants,

which in some localities are called neighborhood septic

tanks, are classified as public sewers. A septic tank or

cesspool is an underground tank or pit used for disposal

of sewage (serving five or fewer units). A chemical toilet,

which may be inside or outside the unit, uses chemicals to

break down or dissolve sewage. Housing units for which

sewage is disposed of in some other way are included in

the ‘‘other’’ category.

The data on breakdowns in the means of sewage disposal are limited to housing units in which the means of

sewage disposal was a public sewer, septic tank, or cesspool. Breakdowns refer to situations in which the system

was completely unusable. Examples include septic tank

being pumped because it no longer perked, tank collapsed, tank exploded, sewer main broken, sewer treatment plant not operating as a result of electrical failure or

water service interruption, etc.

Data on breakdowns are shown if they occurred in the

3 months prior to the interview or while the household

was living in the unit if less than 3 months, and if the

breakdown lasted 6 consecutive hours or more. Housing

units with a breakdown in sewage disposal are also classified according to the number of breakdowns.

Shared ownership. This item is restricted to owneroccupied housing units. Shared ownership includes properties where the ownership of the investment property is

shared with one or more nonhousehold members.

Square footage of unit. Housing size is shown for

single family, detached housing units and mobile homes.

Excluded from the calculation of square footage are unfinished attics, carports, attached garages, porches that are

not protected from the elements (that is, screened

porches), and mobile home hitches. Both finished and

unfinished basements are included. Median square footage is rounded to the nearest foot. Square footage is

based on the respondent’s estimate of the size of the unit.

If the respondent did not know the square footage, the

interviewer measured the outside dimensions of the unit.

Preliminary evaluation indicates that this item is somewhat unreliable.

Stories between main and apartment entrances. Data

are presented for multiunit structures with two or more

floors and are concerned with the number of floors from

the main residential entrance level of the building to the

main entrance of the unit. ‘‘Same floor’’ indicates that the

main entrance of the sample unit is on the same level as

the main entrance that residents use to enter the building.

Stories in structure. The statistics presented are

restricted to multiunits. Finished attics are included in the

number of stories. Unfinished attics are not. For split levels and bilevels, the number of stories is determined by

the highest number of floors that are physically over each

other.

Suburbs. Suburbs are defined in the AHS as the portion

of each metropolitan area that is not in any central city.

Tenure. A housing unit is owner occupied if the owner or

co-owner lives in the unit, even if it is mortgaged or not

fully paid for. Also, a cooperative or condominium unit is

owner occupied only if the owner or co-owner lives in it.

All other occupied housing units are classified as renter

occupied, including housing units rented for cash rent and

those occupied without payment of cash rent.

Type of housing unit. This item refers to the type of

housing unit used for vacation or recreational purposes.

The types include single-family home, unit in multiunit

building, mobile home, or other type.

Type of property. This item refers to the type of residential property used for investment purposes. These units

used for both recreational and investment purposes are

excluded from this category. The types include single family homes, multiunit buildings, unit in a multiunit buildings, mobile homes, or other type.

Units in structure. In determining the number of housing units in a structure, all units, both occupied and

vacant, were counted. The statistics are presented for the

number of housing units in structures of specified type

and size, not for the number of residential structures.

A structure is a separate building if it has either open

space on all sides or is separated from other structures by

dividing walls that extend from ground to roof. Structures

containing only one housing unit are further classified as

detached or attached.

A one-unit structure is detached if it has open space on

all four sides even though it has an adjoining shed or

garage. A one-unit structure is attached if it has one or

A-12 Appendix A

U.S. Census Bureau
more walls extending from ground to roof that divide it

from other adjoining structures and does not share a furnace or boiler with adjoining structures such as in rowhouses, townhouses, etc.

Mobile homes and trailers are shown as a separate category. When one or more rooms have been added to a

mobile home or trailer, it is classified as a mobile home.

Prior to the 1984 reports, these units were not classified

as a mobile home or trailer.

Urban and rural residence. As defined for the 1980

census, urban housing comprises all housing units in

urbanized areas and in places of 2,500 or more inhabitants outside urbanized areas. More specifically, urban

housing consists of all housing units in (a) places of 2,500

or more inhabitants incorporated as cities, villages, boroughs (except in Alaska and New York), and towns (except

in the New England states, New York, and Wisconsin), but

excluding those housing units in the rural portions of

extended cities; (b) census designated places of 2,500 or

more inhabitants; and (c) other territory, incorporated or

unincorporated, included in urbanized areas. Housing

units not classified as urban constitutes are rural housing.

Information on the historical development of the urbanrural residence definition appears in the 1980 Census of

Population report, Characteristics of the Population, Number of Inhabitants, PC801-A.

Vacation units. Vacation homes or recreational homes

characteristics are only shown for the first vacation home

listed. Vacation homes exclude multiunit buildings and

units with ownership shared with nonhousehold members. Units reported as both vacation and investment

properties are classified as vacation units.

Value. Value is the respondent’s estimate of how much

the property (house and lot) would sell for, if it were for

sale. Any nonresidential portions of the property are

excluded from the cost. For vacant units, value represents

the sale price asked for the property at the time of the

interview, and may differ from the price at which the property is sold. Medians for value are rounded to the nearest

dollar.

Value of vacation or investment property. Refers to

the amount that the property is perceived to sell for on

today’s market. The value of shared ownership property is

limited to respondent’s share only.

Water supply stoppage. Water supply stoppage means

that the housing unit was completely without running

water from its regular source. Completely without running

water means that the water system servicing the unit supplied no water at all, that is, no equipment or facility using

running water (in kitchen and bathroom sinks, shower, in

bathtub, flush toilet, dishwasher, and other similar items)

had water supplied to it, or all were inoperable. The reason could vary from a stoppage because of a flood or

storm, to a broken pipe, to a shutdown of the water system, to a failure to pay the bill, or other reasons.

Data on water supply stoppage are shown if they

occurred in the 3 months prior to the interview, or while

the household was living in the unit if less than 3 months,

and if the breakdown or failure lasted 6 consecutive hours

or more. Housing units with water supply stoppage are

also classified according to the number of times the stoppages occurred.

Worked at home. Information is presented for workers

who did any regularly scheduled work for their employer

at home. This can include telecommuters; that is, a company employee who works from home full or part time

during normal business hours, a real estate sales person,

teleworker and any person who works at home on a regular job.

Workers. This includes all persons age 14 years and over

who held a job any time the previous week of the survey

within the United States. It includes those who worked at

any time last week either as an employee for someone

else, or in one’s own business, work with or without pay

in a business or farm operated by a relative, or worked

part time. Not included in this total were persons absent

from work all last week due to illness, vacation, strike, or

layoff.

Year householder moved into unit. The data are based

on the information reported for the householder and refer

to the year of latest move. Thus, if the householder moved

back into a housing unit previously occupied, the year of

the latest move was to be reported; if the householder

moved from one apartment to another in the same building, the year the householder moved into the present unit

was to be reported. The intent is to establish the year the

present occupancy by the householder began. The year

the householder moves is not necessarily the same year

other members of the household move; although, in the

great majority of cases the entire household moves at the

same time. The median year householder moved into unit

is rounded to the nearest year.

Year structure built. Year structure built refers to when

the building was first constructed, not when it was remodeled, added to, or converted. The figures refer to the number of housing units in structures built during the specified periods and in existence at the time of the interview.

For mobile homes and trailers, the manufacturer’s model

year was assumed to be the year built. Median year built

is rounded to the nearest year.

Sample Design, Weighting, and Telephone Experiments

SAMPLE DESIGN

This report is based on data from a sample of housing

units interviewed between August 1995 and February

1996. The same basic sample of housing units is interviewed every 2 years until a new sample is selected. We

update the sample adding newly constructed housing

units and units discovered through coverage improvement

efforts every enumeration.

For the 1995 American Housing Survey–National

(AHS-N), we selected approximately 59,500 sample housing units for interview. About 3,600 of these units were

ineligible because the unit no longer existed or because

the unit did not meet our definition of a housing unit.

We classified about 4,200 of the remaining units (both

occupied and vacant housing units), as ‘‘type A’’ noninterviews because (a) no one was at home after repeated visits, (b) the respondent refused to be interviewed, or (c) the

interviewer was unable to find the unit.

SAMPLE SELECTION

We have interviewed the current sample of housing

units since 1985. First, we divided the United States into

areas made up of counties or groups of counties and independent cities, which we refer to as primary sampling

units (PSUs). We selected a sample of these PSUs. Then we

selected a sample of housing units within these PSUs.

Selection of sample areas. The sample for AHS is

spread over 394 PSUs. These PSUs cover 878 counties and

independent cities with coverage in all 50 States and the

District of Columbia. If there were a sufficient number of

housing units in a PSU, the PSU was known as a selfrepresenting PSU and was in sample with certainty. The

sample from the PSU represents only that PSU. There are

170 self-representing PSUs.

We grouped the remaining PSUs into strata and selected

one PSU per stratum to represent all PSUs in the stratum.

We refer to these PSUs as nonself-representing PSU’s. The

sample nonself-representing PSUs for AHS are a subsample

based on the 1980 census.

Selection of sample housing units. The AHS sample

consists of the following types of housing units:

• Housing units selected from the 1980 census

• New construction in permit issuing areas

• Housing units missed in the 1980 census

• Other housing units added since the 1980 census

Housing units selected from the 1980 census. We

selected a sample of housing units from the 1980 decennial census files using an overall sampling rate of about 1

in 2,148. We determined the within-PSU sampling rate so

the overall probability of selection for each sample housing unit was the same (e.g., if the probability of selecting

a NSR PSU was 1 in 10, then the within-PSU sampling rate

would be 1 in 214.8).

We classified the areas within a PSU into two types

based on (a) the completeness of the addresses in the

areas that make up the PSU and (b) the presence of a system to monitor new construction through building permits.

The two types of areas were known as address enumeration districts (EDs) or area enumeration districts. We

selected the sample of 1980 census units differently in the

two types of areas.

In address ED’s, most of the housing-unit addresses

were complete, and the construction of new housing units

was monitored by building permits. We selected a sample

of housing units from the list of units that received longform questionnaires in the 1980 census.

We also used the census files to select a sample of living quarters in address EDs that did not meet the definition of a housing unit (e.g., military barracks, college

dorm). We use this sample to identify units that convert to

housing units after the 1980 census.

In area EDs, 4 percent or more of the 1980 census

addresses were either incomplete or inadequate or new

construction was not governed by building permits

(mostly rural areas).

We selected a sample of housing units from the list of

units that received 1980 census long-form questionnaires

in several steps. First, we grouped area EDs based on certain characteristics of interest. Then we selected a systematic sample of EDs. We selected a sample of land areas in

these EDs. Finally, we selected a sample of housing units

that received 1980 census long forms within the land

areas.

New construction in permit issuing areas. The building permit frame covers only non-mobile home new construction. We selected the sample of permit newconstruction housing units from permits that were

expected to be completed after, April 1, 1980. In certain

permit areas and for structures of certain sizes, we

included permits issued as early as March 1979. But, for

the most part, we included permits issued since July 1979.

Appendix B B-1

U.S. Census Bureau
Within each PSU, we selected building permits monthly,

based on certain geography characteristics. We created

clusters of approximately four housing units and subsampled units within these clusters at the rate of 1 in 4,

yielding clusters of size 1. The overall probability of selection of these units is about 1 in 2,148.

Some areas became permit issuing after the 1990 census. For these areas, we began selecting permits issued in

January 1994 and later. Prior to this time, new construction was picked up as whole structure additions in area

EDs not governed by building permits.

Housing units missed in the 1980 census. The Census Bureau conducted a special study, called the Housing

Unit Coverage Study (HUCS), as part of the 1980 census.

This study identified units at addresses missed or inadequately defined in the 1980 census. We included a

sample of the units identified in the HUCS in the AHS

sample.

Housing units added since the 1980 census. We pick

up two other types of units added since the 1980 census:

(a) units added within structures containing sample units

and (b) whole structure additions that did not contain living quarters at the time of the 1980 census.

Within structure additions. These additions have a chance

of being in sample, because there is at least one unit that

existed at the time of the 1980 census that was eligible

for selection. We identified these adds in structures with at

least one unit selected from the 1980 census sample and

the HUCS sample. We also pick up adds in permit new construction, e.g., units added since the structure was completed. The rules for identifying within structure additions

differed in certain types of areas and frames.

In area EDs, all within-structure additions in structures

containing at least one sample unit were interviewed for

the AHS.

In address EDs and in the HUCS and building permit

frames, we interviewed all within-structure additions in

1-15 unit structures containing at least one sample unit

for AHS. In 16-or-more unit structures, we only interviewed a sample of units.

Whole structure additions. These types of additions are

units in structures that contained no living quarters at the

time of the 1980 census. We used area sampling methods

to identify these in all types of areas. Under area sampling, we list all housing units within a land area and then

select a systematic sample.

To identify whole structure additions in address EDs,

we used land areas in sample for the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). The NHIS uses an area sampling appproach in all its sample EDs. We only used NHIS areas that

were in AHS PSUs or in NHIS PSUs adjacent to AHS PSUs.

Only units that were not already assigned to NHIS were

eligible.

We matched these units to the 1980 census address

registers. If the address matched to the census, the unit

was ineligible. (Only the basic address, i.e., 801 Main

Street, had to match. Apartment number, mobile home site

number, etc., did not have to match.)

When we listed all the units in structure, we screened

eligible units further to pick up units with no previous

chance of selection. (The screening eliminated units such

as non-mobile home new construction, which is covered

by building permits, and census misses.) We updated

these areas in 1991.

In area EDs where new construction is not governed by

building permits, we used all land areas chosen for the

area ED sample. We selected an expected four units, using

area sampling methods, within these land areas to identify

whole structure additions. However, we did not match this

sample to the census. Instead, we screened this sample,

using criteria similar to those used in address EDs. One

important difference to note is that we did not eliminate

new construction during the screening process. In 1993,

we updated half of the segments (3 of the 6 panels). In

1995, we updated the other half of the segments.

In area EDs where new construction is governed by

building permits, we only used one-third of the land areas

chosen for the area ED sample. We selected an expected

eight units using area sampling methods within these

areas to identify whole structure additions. We screened

this sample using the same criteria as for address EDs.

Again, we did not match this sample to the census. The

screening process eliminated non-mobile home new construction, because it is covered by the building permit

frame. In 1993, we updated one-half of the segments. In

1995, we updated the other half of the segments. After

the 1990 census, certain area EDs switched the management of new construction. About 800 sample EDs changed

from not issuing building permits to issuing building permits. About 20 sample EDs changed from issuing building

permits to not issuing building permits. This change was

incorporated into the sample in 1995.

Supplemental metropolitan sample. In 1995, we reinstated units to six metropolitan areas (Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Northern New Jersey, and New

York City). These units came from two places. Most were

part of a parallel sample we selected along with our basic

sample. Others were units we reduced before 1985

because of budgetary reasons. By adding these units back

to the sample, we will be able to provide sample estimates

for these metropolitan areas.

In four areas (Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, and Philadelphia), the additional units included units selected for

the 1980 census and any new construction since the 1980

census. In these areas, we increased the sample by about

135 percent, slightly more than doubling it.

In Northern New Jersey and New York City, only renters

from the 1980 census in certain urban areas from address

B-2 Appendix B

U.S. Census Bureau
EDs were reinstated back into the sample. In these two

metropolitan areas, we added about 275 sample units.

WEIGHTING

Housing Units

We assigned each unit a weight to reflect the correct

probability of selection. After applying this weight, the

AHS-N weighting procedure consists of two phases.

1. First phase

In the first phase, we make a series of adjustments to

account for units that could not be interviewed for a

number of reasons. For each of these adjustments, we

compute a factor and apply it to the appropriate units.

The factors equal the following ratio:

Interviewed housing units + Housing units not interviewed

Interviewed housing units

The interviewed housing units have the above factor applied to them. The first of these adjustments,

done only in permit segments, accounts for permits

that could not be sampled and units that could not be

found. Records representing these two situations were

treated as noninterviews. These noninterviews make

up ‘‘housing units not interviewed.’’ The ‘‘interviewed

housing units’’ for the first adjustment actually include

both interviews and noninterviews (excluding unable

to locate units).

The second of the adjustments accounts for units in

structures built before the 1980 census that could not

be found. The unlocatable units are represented by

both interviews and noninterviews (excluding unableto-locate units).

The last of these adjustments accounts for ‘‘type A’’

noninterviews (excluding unable-to-locate units). (See

the section on Sample Design for a description of

‘‘type A’’ noninterviews.)

When prior year AHS-N or 1980 census data are

available, we use this information to determine the

noninterview adjustment cell. The cells include the

following characteristics:

• Tenure (i.e., owner or renter)

• Geography

• Type of housing unit (i.e., mobile home or nonmobile home)

• Units in structure

• Number of rooms

• Vacancy status (i.e., seasonal/migratory or other

year round)

When previous data are not available, we compute

adjustment factors using more general characteristics such as type of area and type of housing unit

(i.e., mobile home, non-mobile home).

2. Second phase

The second phase involves a three-stage ratioestimation procedure that adjusts for the following: (a)

sampling of nonself representing PSUs, (b) known

sampling deficiencies in new construction, and (c) differences between sample estimates and estimates

derived from independent sources for key characteristics.

The first stage of this procedure reduces the portion of the variance due to the sampling of nonselfrepresenting PSUs. The procedure accounts for differences that existed at the time of the 1980 census

between housing units estimated from the nonself

representing sample PSUs and the 1980 census count

of housing units from all nonself-representing strata.

We compute factors accounting for these differences separately for the following characteristics:

(a) region, (b) tenure, (c) metropolitan area status, and

(d) urban or rural status. In addition, we use ethnicity

(i.e., Hispanic, non-Hispanic) in the South and West

regions and race in the South region.

The first stage factor equals the following ratio:

1980 census housing units

for all nonself-representing strata in a cell

Number of 1980 housing units in the same cell

estimated from the sample nonself-representing PSUs

We calculate the numerators of the ratios by summing the 1980 census housing-unit counts for each cell

across all nonself-representing strata. We compute the

denominators by weighting the 1980 census housingunit counts from each nonself-representing sample PSU

by the inverse of the probability of selection for that

PSU. Then we sum the weighted counts across all

nonself-representing sample PSUs.

The second stage of the ratio estimation procedure

adjusts the AHS sample estimate of new construction

(i.e., units built since the 1980 census) to account for

known deficiencies (see the section on nonsampling

error in appendix D).

For non-mobile homes, we control the sample estimates to independently derived estimates from the Survey of Construction. For mobile homes we control the

most current sample estimates to independently

derived estimates from the Survey of Mobile Home

Placements. These estimates are the best estimates

available for these types of units.

We compute factors separately for each region. The

second stage factor equals the following rato:

Appendix B B-3

U.S. Census Bureau
Independently derived estimate for a cell

AHS sample estimate in that cell

We compute the denominators of the above ratio by

summing the existing weight on each record after the

first stage of ratio estimation over all records for each

cell in each region. The numerators come from either

the Survey of Construction or the Survey of Mobile

Home Placements.

The third stage of the ratio estimation procedure

adjusts the AHS sample estimate of housing units to

independently derived current estimates for key characteristics. We believe these characteristics are highly correlated with other characteristics of interest for AHS.

The third stage is done in two steps for occupied

units. First, we control the sample estimate of occupied

housing units to independently derived estimates for

the following characteristics:

• Region

• Tenure

• Ethnicity (i.e., Hispanic head of household and nonHispanic head of household)

• Household status (husband-wife, other male, or

other female)

• Age of household head

Then we apply the factor from this step to the interviewed occupied units. Next, we control the new

sample estimate of occupied housing units to independently derived estimates for similar characteristics. We

substitute race for ethnicity in this step but all other

characteristics are the same. We control the sample estimate of vacant housing units to an independently

derived estimate for four type-of-vacant cells for each

region.

We calculate all third stage factors similarly using the

following ratio:

Independently derived estimate of housing units in a cell

AHS sample estimate of housing units in that cell

For occupied units, we derive the numerators of the

factors in three steps. First we compute an independent

intercensal estimate of total housing units for 1995 by

making adjustments to the 1990 census data to

account for residential new construction as well as

losses to the housing inventory since the 1990 census.

For a more detailed description of how these numbers

are obtained, refer to a similar process at the State level

in the Current Population Report, Series P25, no. 1123.

Then we determine the occupied portion of this independent control based on the sample proportion.

Finally, we allocate the occupied portion of the independent control based on the Current Population Survey

distribution for the third stage occupied cells.

For vacant units, we allocate the vacant portion of the

independent control based on the distribution of vacant

units from the Housing Vacancy Survey. This survey is a

quarterly vacancy survey conducted by the Bureau of

the Census.

We compute the denominators of the factors by summing the weights, with all previous factors applied, on

all records in a cell. For the Hispanic/non-Hispanic and

vacant cells, we use the weight after the second-stage

of the ratio estimation procedure. For the Black/nonBlack cells, we use the weight after the Hispanic/nonHispanic portion of the third stage of the ratio estimation procedure.

We repeat the second stage and third stage of the

ratio estimation procedure to bring the AHS sample

estimate into closer agreement with the independent

estimates. We used the final weight resulting from all

iterations for the tabulations in this report.

As a result of the estimation procedure, the sampling

error for most statistics is less than if the sample were

simply weighted by the inverse of the probability of

selection.

Workers

We assigned each worker living in a housing unit the

weight assigned to that unit.

TELEPHONE EXPERIMENTS

In 1995, we used three different methods of interviewing: personal visit, decentralized telephone interviewing,

and computer assisted telephone interviewing (CATI).

Twenty-one percent of the interviews (12,067) were completed using CATI and twenty-five percent by decentralized telephone interviewing (14,688). However, most interviews were conducted by personal visits (31,563).

CATI was generally assigned to areas where it is difficult to hire and retain field representatives. These areas

are typically large urban PSU’s.

1. Decentralized telephone interviewing

Possible effects of decentralized telephone

interviewing on the data—We conducted a large

scale decentralized telephone interviewing experiment

for the 1983 AHS-National. Prior to 1983 all interviews

were done by personal visits. The experiment provided more detailed information about the effects of

decentralized telephone interviewing on the data. We

concluded telephone interviewing had the following

effect on the data: (a) Telephone interviewing

increased the item nonresponse rate for income items

although this effect did not appear to cause changes

in the published estimates. (b) Problems with neighborhood quality were underreported, although this

effect was minimal.

We conducted large-scale Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) experiments as part of the

1987 (6,400 CATI interviews), 1989 (5,800 CATI interviews), and 1991 (6,142 CATI interviews) enumerations for AHS-N. Although there were differences

between CATI and non-CATI data in 1987, 1989, and

1991, we recommended continuing CATI for the 1993

AHS-N. We identified many positive aspects of CATI.

One positive aspect is that with CATI supervisors have

the ability to monitor and observe inexperienced CATI

interviewers while they collect data. Another benefit

of CATI is if we use CATI in geographic areas with

interviewer retention problems, we could hire fewer

new interviewers. Therefore, the CATI data we obtain

would be at least as good as the non-CATI data we

would settle for otherwise. We will continue to use

CATI in these areas to reconcile questionable results

from previous enumerations and to improve AHS data

quality.

Possible effects of computer assisted telephone

interviewing (CATI) on the data—There is strong

evidence differences exist in data collected by CATI

versus non-CATI. We do not know for sure, however,

which method produces better data. Analysis of the

CATI experiment conducted in 1987 indicated CATI

had a substantial effect on some AHS-N characteristics.

Based on the results from the 1987 and 1989 analyses, we made the following changes to the CATI interview in 1991:

• We moved the heating equipment reconciliation

from the end of the interview to right after the

question. We also changed the response based on

the reconciliation answer.

• We added a probe and reconciliation to the question on the presence of a mortgage. We also

changed the response based on the reconciliation

answer.

• We added a probe for lot size, units-in-structure,

and the age of household appliances (e.g., refrigerator) if the respondent initially replied they did

not know.

• We improved the training for CATI interviewers,

putting more emphasis on probing and dealing

with ‘‘don’t know’’ responses, and CATI supervisors.

Use of the probes resulted in substantial reductions

in ‘‘don’t know’’ answers. Most of the items where

probes were added showed at least 50 percent fewer

‘‘don’t know’’ responses in 1991 compared to 1989.

Other information from the 1991 experiment confirmed

the results of the experiments conducted in 1987 and

1989.

We used the same method of analysis for the 1987,

1989, and 1991 experiments. We weighted data from

the CATI and non-CATI treatment panels separately

using the AHS-N estimation procedure described in the

section on estimation. We produced estimates from the

two treatments in data tables for characteristics provided in chapter 2 of the AHS-National publication. We

used t-statistics to test differences between estimates

from the CATI and non-CATI treatments.

The 1987 and 1989 analyses of the t-tests yielded

similar results. The percents of significant differences

observed at the 10 percent, 5 percent, and 1 percent

significance levels were higher than what we expected

by chance (e.g., we expected 10 percent of the tests to

yield significant results, by chance, when tested at the .

α = .10 significance level). For 1991, results show fewer

significant differences than in 1987 and 1989, although

the proportion is still higher than expected. It appears

the changes introduced in 1991 had some effect on the

CATI responses.

For characteristics of total occupied units, the significant differences for estimates for panels assigned to CATI

versus panels assigned to non-CATI treatment ranged from

about 6 to 40 percent.

The following table shows which groups had the most

significant differences between CATI and non-CATI estimates for 1987, 1989, and 1991.

We used data from both CATI and non-CATI treatments

to produce the data presented in the 1987, 1989, and

1991 publications. The 1987, 1989, and 1991 published

estimates for the groups and items mentioned previously

are different than if we used maximum decentralized telephone interviewing for all units. You can get detailed information on which specific characteristics are affected and

the extent of the effect by writing to:

Conclusions. The 1991 results confirmed the findings

from both the 1987 and 1989 studies. There is strong evidence there are differences in data collected using CATI

versus non-CATI methods. We do not know which method

provides better data. However, we speculate that CATI

income estimates are probably better than non-CATI, but

that some other estimates are probably worse.

For income, CATI ensures all questions are asked. The

computer will not allow the interviewer to skip any questions. For other items, we believe non-CATI estimates are

more accurate because it is unlikely people would overreport things like water leaks.

These findings affect various types of estimates and

comparisons. In particular, change estimates across 1985,

1987, 1989, and 1991 are biased and longitudinal analysis is adversely affected since we used CATI in 1987,

1989, and 1991. Personal visits were the only type of data

collection done for 1985. The extent to which we use CATI

in the future will determine the impact on longitudinal

analyses involving data from 1985.

Reconciliation experiment. As part of the CATI, we conducted reconciliation studies in 1987, 1989, and 1991. If

the responses for a particular year differed from the previous year, we asked the respondent to explain the difference. Our goal was to determine if there was a change

since the previous year or if one of the responses was

wrong.

1987 reconciliation study. The 1987 reconciliation study

indicated respondents had difficulty reporting items such

as the following: (a) presence of basement, (b) heating

equipment, and (c) heating fuel.

The number of respondents who said their 1985

response was wrong was about the same as the number

who said their 1987 response was wrong. Since we interviewed all households by personal visit in 1985, this indicates an effect due to certain questions rather than the

mode of interview.

1989 and 1991 Reconciliation Studies. We conducted reconciliation studies in 1989 and 1991 with some of the

questions from the 1987 study. The results were similar to

the 1987 study. Results indicate problems reporting the

presence of a basement, and type of heating equipment.

More respondents indicated the prior year response,

rather than the current year response, was wrong.

1991 moderate physical problems (MPPs) study. In

1991, an experiment was done to determine why CATI

reported fewer moderate physical problems (MPPs) than

non-CATI. The low estimates of MPPs found by CATI, relative to non-CATI in 1987 and 1989 AHS-N were likely

caused by CATI underestimating MPPs and non-CATI overestimating MPPs. Thirty-seven percent of the differences

between CATI and nonCATI were attributed to CATI missing a true MPP. And forty-two percent of the differences

were attributed to non-CATI recording MPPs which reconciliation showed did not exist.

Historical Changes

INTRODUCTION

The American Housing Survey National (AHS-N) was

first conducted in 1973.Between 1973 and 1981, it was

conducted every year and was called the Annual Housing

Survey.The last even-numbered year for the AHS-N was

1980.Since 1981, the survey has been conducted every

other year.In 1985, the name was changed to the American Housing Survey.Other historical changes in the survey

are listed below by subject area.The year refers to the

year the change was made.In some cases, multiple years

are mentioned together.In these cases, either corrections

were made to the data in more than 1 year or there are

specific years for which data are not comparable.

Only changes are noted in this appendix.For example,

‘‘Book Titles’’ has no entries for 1975 through 1977, since

the same titles were published for those years as in 1974.

Supplement report number 1 was changed to part F,

Financial Characteristics by Indicators of Housing and

Neighborhood Quality.

1978. Parts A, C, D, and E stayed the same.

Parts B and F from earlier years were combined into a

new Part B, Indicators of Housing and Neighborhood

Quality by Financial Characteristics.

A new part F, Energy-Related Housing Characteristics

was added.

1985. Parts A, B, C, D, E, and F, were combined in one

report, American Housing Survey for the United States.

A new report was added, Supplement to the American

Housing Survey for the United States with data on family

types, neighborhood quality, commuting, and ownership

of additional residential units.

Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI)

1987. Large-scale CATI experiments were conducted as

part of both the 1987, 1989, and 1991 AHS-N.Preliminary

analysis of the CATI experiments indicated that CATI has a

significant effect on the data.The experiments revealed

that characteristics’ data for owner housing, urban housing, and housing with moderate physical problems exhibited high numbers of significant differences between CATI

and non-CATI estimates.The moderate physical problems

subgroup had the highest incidence of significant differences.The analysis also showed significant differences for

total occupied, suburban housing units, and moved in

past year.

Little is known at this time about whether CATI or nonCATI produces better data.It is felt, however, the estimates of change in AHS-N between 1985 and 1987, 1985

and 1989, and 1985 and 1991 will be biased for many

characteristics as a result of the introduction of CATI.Also

see the discussion under the topic ‘‘Telephone Interviewing.’’

Head ofHousehold/Householder

1980. Beginning in 1980, the concept head of household

was dropped and replaced by householder.The head of

household was the person regarded as the head by the

respondent.However, if a married woman living with her

husband was reported as the head, her husband was considered the head.The householder is the first household

member listed by the respondent who is 18 years old or

over and is an owner or renter of the sample unit.

Housing Costs and Value

1985. Beginning in the 1985 AHS-N; value, mortgage

data, and taxes are shown for all owners; rent for all renters; and utilities for all of both groups.From 1973 through

1983, these items were shown only for ‘‘specified’’ owners

and renters.For comparability, Table 19 in of each chapter

of the series H150 reports still shows data separately for

‘‘specified’’ owners and renters.‘‘Specified’’ homes exclude

1-unit buildings on 10 or more acres, and owners in buildings with 2 or more units or with a business or medical

office on the property.

Appendix C C-1

U.S. Census Bureau
Also in 1985, the terminology in the books changed.

The new term ‘‘Monthly housing costs’’ includes the old

terms ‘‘Selected monthly housing cost’’ for owners, ‘‘Gross

rent’’ for renters, and ‘‘Contract rent’’ for vacant-for-rent

units.

1989. See the discussion under the topics, ‘‘Income,’’ and

‘‘Monthly Housing Costs.’’

Housing Unit Definition

1985. Beginning with the 1985 AHS-N, there are one

major and two minor differences in the housing unit definition.The major difference is that beginning in 1985, the

AHS-N includes vacant mobile homes as housing units.

Vacant mobile homes added an additional 698,000 seasonal and 642,000 year-round vacant units to the 1985

housing inventory.The 1973 through 1983 AHS-N

excluded these units.A minor difference in the definition

is the 1973 through 1983 requirement that a housing unit

must have either direct access from the outside or through

a common hallway, or complete kitchen facilities for the

exclusive use of the occupants.In 1985, the complete

kitchen facilities alternative was dropped with direct

access required of all units.A second minor difference is

in the definition of group quarters.In the 1973 through

1983 AHS-N, a household containing 5 or more persons

unrelated to the householder was considered to be group

quarters.In 1985, the cutoff was changed to 9 or more

persons unrelated to the householder.

Income

1985. See the discussion under the topic ‘‘Poverty.’’

1989. Two new items in 1989 replaced similar items that

were published in 1985 and 1987.They are ‘‘Monthly

housing costs as percent of current income’’ and ‘‘Ratio of

value to current income.’’ For income, these new items use

‘‘Current income.’’ In 1985 and 1987, the items ‘‘Valueincome ratio’’ and ‘‘Monthly housing costs as percent of

income’’ used the ‘‘Income of families and primary individuals in the last 12 months.’’ See Appendix A for a complete definition of ‘‘Current income,’’ and ‘‘Monthly housing costs as percent of current income.’’ We recommend

caution when comparing prior years’ data with 1989

because of the differences in the definitions.

For comparative purposes, Table F shows monthly

housing costs as a percent of both income in the last

12 months and current income.For total households and

owner households, the medians are the same for both

types of income; for renter households, the medians are

29 and 27 percent, respectively.

Table C in the introduction of the book American Housing Survey for the United States in 1989, series H150/89,

shows the individual categories of percentages for 1989

for monthly housing costs as a percent of income in the

last 12 months.Table 2-13 of the same report shows the

individual categories for current income.For most households, current income is the same as income in the last

12 months.That is the situation for 83 percent of total

households, 86 percent of the owners, and 78 percent of

renters.

1993. Beginning in 1993, the questions on income

sources of families and primary individuals were revised

with the purpose of improved income reporting.The 1991

question, which reported interest or dividend income of

$400 or more, was divided into two separate questions in

1993.One new question reports interest income from different sources and one reports dividends from stocks.Neither of these two questions have an amount limitation.

Also, starting in 1993 in the ‘‘Other’’ income category, we

now include income from education loans, grants, and

scholarships.Prior to 1993, these sources of income were

not collected.Caution should be used when making comparisons with the 1991 and earlier surveys and the 1993

and later surveys for items ‘‘Household Income.’’

Wage and salary income was under reported for some

persons and households.The error occurred during the

processing of the data collected by computer assisted telephone interviewing.When the respondent does not know

or refuses to report wage and salary income, income is

allocated during the processing.In 1993 this income was

not allocated but was incorrectly processed as ‘‘zero’’ (no)

income.This error did not occur in 1991 and earlier years

and was corrected in 1995.Although the income data for

1993 are incorrect, analysis of median household income

for 1991, 1993, and 1995 indicates that the impact of this

error on 1993 data is minor.

Married-Couple Families

1985 and 1987. It was discovered that the published

1985 and 1987 estimates of married-couple families with

no nonrelatives were overestimates as a result of an error

in processing.The 1985 overestimate was approximately

340,000, while the 1987 overestimate was 407,800.The

C-2 Appendix C

U.S. Census Bureau
overestimated married-couple families with no nonrelatives should have been tabulated under two-or-moreperson households as either other male or other female

householders.This error was corrected in 1989.Table G

provides corrected figures for 1987.

No Nonrelatives and Other Two-or-MorePerson Households: 1987

Male householder. . ............................ 6,421,000

Female householder ........................... 12,432,000

Monthly costs for electricity and gas. Beginning in

1989, two procedures were introduced that attempt to

correct the over reporting of electricity and gas costs in

the AHS.In the first procedure, respondents were asked

the amount of their electricity and/or gas bill for the previous months of January, April, August, and December.

These months are the best predictors of annual costs.If

the respondent provided data for at least 3 of the 4

months, the results were used to provide an annual estimate of costs.This estimate was then divided by 12 to

provide average monthly costs.

The second procedure was applied to the remaining

units.If the respondents did not know the amount of their

electricity and/or gas bill at least 3 of the 4 months, we

used their estimate of average monthly costs.A factor was

then applied that, in effect, lowered these costs to make

them consistent with electricity and gas costs reported in

the Residential Energy Consumption Survey sponsored by

the United States Department of Energy.Before 1989,

respondents were only asked to provide an estimate of

average monthly costs.Research done using the 1987

AHS has shown that this approach produces 15 to 20 percent overestimates of electricity and gas costs.The new

procedures produce lower and more accurate estimates.

On average, more than one-third of the respondents provided answers for at least 3 of the 4 months.

Monthly Housing Costs

1985. See the discussion under the topic ‘‘Housing Costs

and Value.’’

1989. Beginning in 1989, the monthly housing costs

questionnaire items for renters were revised to improve

the reporting of actual rental costs.In 1987, the questionnaire reflected the total amount reportedly paid for

monthly rental costs.These amounts may have included

the partially subsidized amount provided by the public

housing authority, the federal government, or state and

local governments.The current questionnaire identifies

those rental units that are subsidized and allows households to report only the costs they actually paid.The new

procedures in 1989 produce lower and more accurate estimates.Also see the discussion under the topic ‘‘Income.’’

Name Change

1985. In 1985, the AHS-N changed its name from the

Annual Housing Survey to the American Housing Survey.

See the introduction of this section, ‘‘Historical Changes.’’

Plumbing Facilities

1985, 1987, and 1989. See the discussion under the

topic ‘‘Severe and Moderate Problems.’’

1993. In 1993, there were 1,152,000 occupied housing

units that reported a complete lack of plumbing facilities.

The total number of units that reported such a lack

decreased by about half between 1991 and 1993.Also,

there was a decrease in these units between 1989 and

1991.Total occupied housing units with no plumbing

facilities for exclusive use went from 2,253,000 in 1989 to

2,045,000 in 1991.In 1993, questionnaire item 29c on

bathrooms for exclusive use was modified to provide

more accurate estimates.The wording of the ‘‘answer

options’’ to this question was changed to specify whether

or not there was exclusive use of the facilities.Although

the decrease between 1991 and 1993 seems unrealistic,

we feel that the change in the 1993 questionnaire resulted

in a better estimate.Caution should be used when making

comparisons with the 1991 AHS-N survey and the 1993

and later surveys.The drop in the number of occupied

units with no plumbing facilities also caused a drop in the

number of units with severe physical problems from

2,874,000 in 1991 to 1,901,000 in 1993.

Poverty

1985. Beginning in 1985 the AHS-N provides housing

characteristics for households with income below the poverty level.The AHS-N poverty data are not comparable to

poverty data published from the Current Population Survey (CPS).Table H presents the differences.

Table H. Households in Poverty in AHS

and CPS: 1985,1987,and 1989

Year AHS CPS

1985......................... 13,266,000 11,996,000

1985-87 change............... -1,297,000 -189,000

1987-89 change............... 434,000 -438,000

Compared with the CPS, the AHS-N drop in poverty

between 1985 and 1987 seems too large.The 1987 to

1989 AHS-N increase in poverty may be, in part, a compensation for the unrealistic 1985 to 1987 drop.

Appendix C C-3

U.S. Census Bureau
In general, AHS estimates of poverty are higher than the

CPS estimates.Research indicates that the AHS-N slightly

under reports income when compared with the CPS, thus

over reporting poverty.Furthermore, the problem seems

to be concentrated among elderly households.A detailed

discussion of AHS-N poverty data is presented in the Census Bureau memorandum for the record, ‘‘AHS Poverty

Data, 1985 to 1989.’’ A detailed discussion of AHS-N

income data is presented in the Census Bureau memorandum for the record, ‘‘Comparison of the 1989 AHS and CPS

Income Reporting.’’ Copies of these memoranda can be

obtained by writing to the Housing and Household Economic Statistics Division, Census Bureau, Washington, DC

20233.

We wish to remind analysts that poverty data are published in the AHS-N not as an official count of households

in poverty, but to show the housing characteristics of lowincome households.

Questionnaire

1985. A new questionnaire was introduced in the 1985

AHS-N.Most of the changes on the questionnaire were

made to improve the quality of the data.As a result of

these changes, however, several items in the 1985 AHS-N

and later are not comparable to similar data for 1973

through 1983.A list of these items follows.A discussion

of each item can be found under the topic of the same

name.

Items changed on the 1985 questionnaire:

• Units in structure

• Rooms in unit

A number of new items were introduced in the 1985

AHS-N including:

• Square footage of unit

• Units with severe or moderate problems

• Elderly householder

• Mortgage status

1995. We made a change in the way the Alterations and

Repairs questions were asked so the data would be more

complete and consistent with other surveys.Because of

the change, data are not comparable with previous surveys.Alterations and Repairs now include questions on:

• Additions to residential structures

• Additions and alterations outside residential structures

• Alterations within residential structures

• Major replacements

• Maintenance, repairs and other work

The questions collected data on:

• Amount spent

• Number of jobs

To learn more about the modifications people make to

their homes to accommodate persons with physical limitations, we added a series of questions asking about

changes they made to their homes and the disabilities

people have.Physical Limitations and Housing Modifications now include data on:

• Physical limitations

• Housing modifications

• Person or equipment aids

• Multistructure modifications

• Number of persons per household reporting limitations.

A new data item was added to the Journey to work section:

• Worked at home last week.

For more detailed definitions, see Appendix A.

Rooms in Unit

1985. The number of households with one or two rooms

dropped from 3,215,000 in 1983 to 1,937,000 in 1985.

As a result, the median number of rooms per unit

increased from 5.2 to 5.3. This does not necessarily indicate an increase in the average size of housing units.In

the 1983 AHS-N, respondents answered a single question

asking for a total count of rooms in the unit.The potential

to miss specific rooms is high in a question of this type.In

the 1985 AHS-N, respondents were asked for a count of

each specific type of room.The answers to these questions are then added together in the tabulations to provide

a total count of rooms.Far fewer rooms are missed in this

series of questions, which has apparently resulted in lower

counts of one- and two-room units.It is also possible,

however, that a few rooms may be double counted.For

example, a living room may also have been counted as a

family room for a count of two rooms when only one room

actually exists.

Sample

1985. A new sample was chosen for the AHS-N in 1985.

In 1973 through 1983, a sample of housing units was

selected from the 1970 census and updated to include

units constructed since 1970.In 1985, a new sample was

chosen from the 1980 census and updated to include

units constructed since 1980.To the degree that the coverage of housing units is different between the 1970 and

the 1980 censuses, comparisons of the results of the

1973 through 1983 surveys with the results of the 1985

and later surveys may be affected.

Severe and Moderate Problems

1985, 1987, and 1989. The data concerning units with

severe and moderate problems in 1989 and later are not

entirely comparable with similar data published in 1985

and 1987.Units lacking complete plumbing facilities are

C-4 Appendix C

U.S. Census Bureau
included in the count of units with severe physical problems.(Data on plumbing facilities in 1985 and 1987 were

deficient because of the design of the questionnaire.As a

result, the number of units with severe problems was

underestimated in 1985 and 1987, and the number of

units with moderate problems was overestimated.These

deficiencies were corrected in the 1989 questionnaire.For

additional discussion, see the topic ‘‘Plumbing Facilities’’ in

the Appendix C of the American Housing Survey for the

United States in 1993, series H150/93.

1993. See the discussion under the topic ‘‘Plumbing Facilities.’’

Telephone Interviewing

1981. Beginning in 1981, decentralized telephone interviewing was conducted for a sample of units that were in

sample during the previous enumeration.As a result of

analysis conducted in both 1981 and 1983, it was concluded that data collected, using the decentralized telephone interviewing procedures, were not sufficiently different from data collected by regular personal interviews

to preclude basing published data on both telephone and

personal interview data.Also see the discussion under the

topics ‘‘Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing.’’

Units in Structure

1985. In 1973 through 1983, data on units in structure

were based on the respondent’s answer to one question,

‘‘How many living quarters, both occupied and vacant, are

there in this house (building)?’’ In 1985 and later, data on

units in structure are based on the respondent’s answers

to a series of questions (see item 20 through 23 of the

questionnaire in Appendix E).The method of collecting

units-in-structure data was revised in 1985 as previous

AHS experience has shown the concept to be difficult for

respondents.Respondents particularly had difficulty distinguishing between single-family attached and units in

multiunit structures.Table I shows the change in the occupied inventory by units in structure between the 1983 and

1985 AHS using the published data.

attached by 641,000 units.The 1983 AHS-N underestimated units in multiunit structures by approximately

788,000.Table H provides more reasonable (revised) levels of 1983 to 1985 growth by adding (1983 overestimates) and subtracting (1983 underestimates) to the

1983-85 change shown in Table J.

Weighting

1981. The independent household estimates (control

totals) used in the weighting of data in the 1981 and 1983

AHS-N are Current Population Survey (CPS) estimates

derived from the 1980 census.The CPS independent

household estimates used in the weighting of data in the

1973 through 1980 Annual Housing Surveys were derived

from the 1970 census.The 1980-based estimates are

about 2 percent larger than the 1970-based estimates.

This 2 percent effect was equally distributed among all

types of units.Therefore, percentages and medians calculated during the 1973 through 1980 time period should be

comparable to similar data calculated in 1981 and 1983.

1985. In 1985, the 1980 census count of occupied units

was adjusted for undercount and projected to 1985 using

the 1980 to 1985 Current Population Survey’s (CPS) rate of

change.The 1985 AHS-N was then ratio-estimated to this

number.In 1983 and earlier years, the AHS-N was ratioestimated directly into CPS estimates.The procedure used

in 1985 resulted in 200,000 additional occupied units that

would not have been estimated if the 1983 procedures

had been employed in 1985.

Also in 1985, all vacant units were adjusted for undercount for the first time.This resulted in the addition of

400,000 vacant units (98,000 seasonal units and 302,000

year-round vacants) to the housing inventory.

1991. Beginning with 1991, the independent estimates

(control totals) used in weighting the data (occupied and

vacant independent estimates) are based on the 1990 census, plus change since then.The 1990-based weighting

produces, on average, numbers that are about 2.5 percent

lower than 1980-based weighting.This effect is not

equally distributed among all types of units.Table K

shows the effects of the weighting change by region for

the year 1991.

These data should be used when measuring the change in

the size of the occupied inventory over time.These data

occupied homes for the years 1985, 1987, and 1989.

Errors

All numbers in this book are estimates. As in other surveys, errors come primarily from wrong answers, incomplete data, and sampling.

NONSAMPLING ERRORS

Nonsampling errors are usually the largest source of

errors, larger than sampling errors. For example the

changes in weighting in 1981 and 1991 (see appendix C)

corrected some of the error due to incomplete data. Just

that one correction averaged 2.5 percent in 1991. Worse

errors from wrong answers and from incomplete data

apply to some items, discussed in the next paragraphs.

Wrong or inconsistent answers. Wrong answers happen because people misunderstand questions, cannot

recall the correct answer, or do not want to give the right

answer. Table P shows which items have been measured

for inconsistency when people are reinterviewed after a

few weeks. The actual survey cannot catch and reconcile

these inconsistencies, so a high rate of wrong answers

remains for some items. The Census Bureau categorizes

these levels of inconsistency into three ranges:

1. Less than 20 is considered a low level of inconsistency.

2. Between 20 and 50 is considered a moderate level of

inconsistency.

3. Greater than 50 is considered a high level of inconsistency indicating that responses are not reliable.

Not all questions have been checked for inconsistencies. The ones checked were the questions where inconsistencies seemed likely. Questions measuring opinions

were likely to have high inconsistencies.

The numbers in Table P are percents. They are nearly

the same as: 100 minus the correlation between answers

in the original interview and the reinterview. For example,

an inconsistency of 20 means a correlation of 80 percent,

which is good. This is the correlation between answers to

the same question, usually from the same respondents, a

month apart. Wrong answers make results wrong and

mean that data on groups (e.g., income groups) are

infected with data from people who really are not like the

group at all. Readers should be wary of drawing firm conclusions from items with high inconsistency.

Table M. Undercoverage Units

Type of unit Reason for undercoverage

Mobile homes........ Poor coverage of new mobile home parks in

address enumeration districts

Conventional new

construction ........ Permits issued fewer than 6 months before

interviewing are not considered

New construction in

special places . . . . . . Not covered in either permit or nonpermit

areas

Whole structure

additions ........... These units are chosen with the aid of

screening questions. Eligible units could be

missed and ineligible units included because

of incorrect answers to the screening

questions.

Conversions from

nonresidential units. . Nonresidential units at the time of the 1980

census, which converted to residential units

were missed.

Coverage errors. Each home in the AHS-N sample represents a large number of other homes. However, because of

incomplete sampling lists (i.e., undercoverage) the homes

in the survey do not represent all homes in the country.

Therefore, the raw numbers from the survey are raised

proportionally so that the numbers published here match

independent estimates of the total number of homes.

These independent estimates are based on the 1990 Census of Housing, plus an accounting of changes since then.

Housing unit undercoverage is about 2.3 percent. Table M

lists units that have known coverage deficiencies.

Incomplete data. Incomplete data happen because sampling lists are incomplete, and because people refuse the

interview or some of the questions, or do not know

answers. Table Q (at the end of this appendix) shows

which items have the least complete data. These are primarily items that people forget or consider personal: mortgages, other housing costs, and income. The computer

may assign or ‘‘impute’’ values for these items according

to rules developed by subject matter specialists. We do

not know how close the imputed values are to the actual

values. Incompleteness can cause large errors, since when

even 10 percent of homes are missed by a particular question, they represent about 10 million homes which have to

be estimated, on little or no basis (there are about 100

million homes in the U.S.). The survey estimates them by

assuming that they are like some group of homes that did

Appendix D D-1

U.S. Census Bureau
give data, an assumption that is never exactly true. Thus,

it is not surprising that large biases, as shown in Table R,

are possible when the survey has data for only 50 to 90

percent of homes for particular items. Again readers

should be wary of items with highly incomplete data.1

Effect on income. The nonsampling errors interact particularly badly for income. Income questions are inconsistently answered (Table P), incompletely answered (Table

Q), and the totals fall short of totals known from the

National Income Accounts, especially for the elderly.2

SAMPLING ERRORS

Definition. Error from sampling reflects how estimates

from a sample vary from the actual value. (Note: ‘‘actual

value’’ means the value that would appear if all housing

units had been interviewed, under the same conditions,

rather than only a sample. A confidence interval is a range

which contains the actual estimate with a specified probability.)

Counts. Most numbers in this book are counts of housing units (e.g., units with basements or units with an elderly person). These counts have error from sampling.

Table N gives a convenient list of errors for a range of

numbers. These errors are an overestimate for most items.

To get a more accurate answer, use the appropriate formula shown in Table S or T (at the end of this appendix).

As with the other types of errors, readers should be wary

of numbers with large errors from sampling.

The error from sampling cannot be known exactly. We

approximate it using the following formula for constructing a 90-percent confidence interval:

1.64 x 3.12 x A .000029 x A2

where A is a number (a count of units) in this book.

This formula is an overestimate for most items. To get a

more accurate estimate, use the appropriate formula in

table S or T.

For example if A is 200:

1.64 x 3.12 x 200 .000029 x 200 x 200  41

90-Percent Confidence Interval

the following numbers—

Source: These errors were computed based on a formula in Table S

or T with high error. This table represents a conservative example. The

numbers are in thousands.

The 90-percent confidence interval can then be formed

by adding and subtracting this error to the survey estimate of 200 (i.e., 200 ± 41). Statements such as ‘‘the

actual value is in the range 200 ± 41 (159 to 241),’’ are

right 90 percent of the time and wrong 10 percent of the

time.3

Numbers in the book are printed in thousands, so 200

means 200,000. The formulas are designed to use numbers directly from the book; do not add zeros. The result

is also in thousands, so 50 means 50,000.

Percents. Any subgroup can be shown as a percent of a

larger group. The error from sampling for a 90-percent

confidence interval for this percent is:

1.64 x 3.12 P 100 P) A

where P is the percent; A is the denominator, or base of

the percent.4

This formula is an overestimate for most items. To get a

more accurate estimate, replace the first number under

the square root sign with the first number under the

square root sign of the appropriate formula in table S or T.

For example, the error from sampling for a 90-percent

confidence interval for 40 percent of 200 (meaning

200,000) is:

1.64 x 3.12 x 40 x 60200  10.0

Statements such as ‘‘the actual percent is in the range

30.0 percent to 50.0 percent’’ are right 90 percent of the

time. This formula is an overestimate for most items. To

Statistical note: The November 1990 paper, How Response

Error, Missing Data and Undercoverage Bias Survey Data, estimates that 90 percent of errors from incomplete data are less

than: 200 + .58x (lesser of A or 100,000 – A), where A is any

count published in this book (in thousands, result also in thousands). Weights are adjusted to reduce these errors, but it is not

known how much error remains. How Response Error, Missing

Data and Undercoverage Bias Survey Data, order number HUD6458, is available from HUD User at the address in the ‘‘Explanations and Cautions’’ section at the front of this book. 2

Data are in the Codebook for the American Housing Survey,

Cautions’’ section at the front of this book.

The formula in the text is based on 1.64 times the error from

sampling. This formula gives ‘‘90-percent confidence interval

errors.’’ For 95-percent confidence interval errors multiply by 1.96

instead of 1.64; for 99-percent confidence multiply by 2.58

instead of 1.64. 4

This formula is actually 1.64 x  (p(100–p)/n) , since 3.12/A

adjusts the data to the effective sample size.

get a more accurate estimate, change the first number

under the square root sign here, 3.12, to the first number

given under the square root sign of the appropriate formula in Table S or T.

Note that when a ratio C/D is computed where C is not

a subgroup of D (for example, the number of Hispanics as

a ratio of the number of Blacks) the error from sampling is

different. The error from sampling for a 90-percent confidence interval for a ratio C/D5 is:

CD (error for C C)2  (error for D D

2

Medians. Table 0 calculates the error from sampling for a

90-percent confidence interval for medians.6

Differences. Two numbers from this book, like 34 and

40 or 40 percent and 45 percent have a ‘‘statistically significant difference,’’ if their ranges of error from sampling

for a 90-percent confidence interval do not overlap. When

ranges of error for a 90-percent confidence interval do

overlap, numbers are still statistically different if the result

of subtracting one from the other is more than8:

5

The error for C should be interpreted as the error for a

90-percent confidence interval for C. Likewise, the error for D

should be interpreted as the error for a 90-percent confidence

interval for D. 6

For small bases, use the more accurate approach in Table 5 in

Appendix D of the American Housing Survey for the United States

in 1995. 7

The factor 2.0 is a conservative estimate for most items. For a

better approximation, find the appropriate formula in Table S or T

and divide the first number under the square root sign by 3.12.

Take the square root of this answer and multiply by 2.0 to get

your factor.

8

Error for first number should be interpreted as the error for a

90-percent confidence interval for the first number. Likewise,

error for second number should be interpreted as the error for a

90-percent confidence interval for the second number.

2  error for 2nd number2

For example, if the first number is 34 with an error of

17 and the second number is 40 with an error of 18, then

the 90-percent confidence interval error for this difference

of 1 is:

172  182  25

Since the difference is less than this error, these two

numbers are not statistically different.

1Completeness of sampling lists: A small part of the total HU’s in the U.S. is not represented in the AHS sample. This undercoverage occurs from imperfections in the sampling frame. We use

weighting adjustments to account for these units. There are two main sources of undercoverage: (1) Deficiencies in sampling lists used for AHS (e.g.,1980 census or permit lists), and (2) Errors in the field

resulting in completely overlooking certain HU’s that belong in sample. The rate represents the proportion of HU’s in the U.S. that are covered by the AHS sample frames. 2All interviews: A type A noninterview results when the interviewer is unable to obtain the necessary information to complete an interview from an occupied unit. We adjust the weights of

interviewed units which most closely resemble type A noninterviews to help reduce the bias from these cases. The interview rate reflects the completeness of the sampling lists as well as the type A

noninterviews. 3Compared to the 1991 publication, we switched rows 2 and 3. Type A noninterview rate (line 2 in 1991) is titled "All interviews" (line 3 in 1993). Undercoverage rate (line 3 in 1991) is titled

"Completeness of sampling lists (percent)" (line 2 in 1993).
