Major Changes

INCOME

In 2004, information on whether or not a resident of the housing unit received Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments was collected in a separate category. In 2003 and earlier, the receipt of SSI payments was collected in a combined

category that included public assistance and welfare payments. For detailed definitions of income categories, see Appendix A.

REPLACEMENTS AND ADDITIONS

In 2004, the question, ‘‘Was that wall-to-wall carpeting installed over existing, finished flooring, or was that put down over

bare sub-flooring, such as concrete or unfinished wood?’’ was no longer asked. The question, ‘‘In the last two years, have

you installed any wall-to-wall carpeting?’’ was still part of the survey. For a detailed definition of replacements and additions, see Appendix A.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Explanations and Cautions

EXPLANATIONS

Survey authority and confidentiality. The U.S. Census

Bureau conducts the American Housing Survey (AHS) 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 AHS. The guarantee of confidentiality made to respondents is provided by the Census Bureau. Title 13, Section

9a, of the U.S. Code provides that all information that

would permit identification of individuals will be held in

strict confidence. Such information may be seen only by

individuals sworn to uphold the confidentiality of Census

Bureau information 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 person sworn to uphold the

confidentiality of Census Bureau information is punishable

by a fine of up to $250,000 or imprisonment of up to 5

years, or both. The 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 data on apartments; single-family homes; manufactured/mobile homes;

vacant housing units; age, sex, and race of householders;

income; housing and neighborhood quality; housing costs;

equipment and fuels; and size of the housing units. The

book also presents data on mortgages, rent control, rent

subsidies, previous unit of recent movers, and reasons for

moving.

Scope of the survey. The AHS is conducted by field representatives who obtain information from occupants of

homes. They get information on vacant homes from

informed people such as landlords, rental agents, or

knowledgeable neighbors. Interviewing occurred from

May 30 through September 8. The sample sizes for the

metropolitan areas range from 1,300 to 3,500 addresses.

See Appendix B for details.

CAUTIONS

Sampling and nonsampling errors. The numbers in

this book may have errors from sampling and other

causes (incomplete data, wrong answers, etc.).

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.

However, 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 raised proportionally so that

the published numbers match independent estimates of

the total number of homes. These independent estimates

are based on Census 2000, plus changes since then. Housing unit undercoverage and household nonresponse is

about 11 percent. Compared to the level derived from the

adjusted Census 2000 counts, housing unit undercoverage alone is about 2.2 percent.

The weighting procedures used for AHS-National partially

correct for the bias due to nonresponse and housing unit

undercoverage, but not for within-household undercoverage. The procedures assume the housing units missed by

the survey are like those included, which is not entirely

accurate. Housing-unit undercoverage varies by age, ethnicity, and race of householder, and by type of household.

For some groups, such as Black alone, the undercoverage

is at least 9 percent. Some AHS estimates are affected by

missed persons within sample households. These are persons per room, square feet per person, some household

composition items (for example, persons per household),

and income characteristics. We do not 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 underestimates income and overestimates poverty when compared

to the Current Population Survey (CPS). The AHS mentions

fewer sources of income than the Annual Social and Economic Supplement to 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 lowincome 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,’’

Explanations and Cautions vii

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
presents a detailed discussion of AHS poverty data. Copies

of both memoranda can be obtained by writing to the

Housing and Household Economic Statistics Division

(HHES) at the address given in the table below.

DATA AVAILABILITY

The AHS data are presented nationally as well as for major

selected metropolitan areas (see table below). The table

below shows the sources for obtaining AHS data, the product available, and the pricing for each product. Each

source or organization sets its own charges, so prices may

vary among the sources. For the data user whose needs

are not met by the book tabulations (printed books),

microdata are available on tapes and on CD-ROMs so that

data can be tabulated in any way desired. Microdata are

also available on the Internet for 1997 and beyond.

National data tables are on the Internet for 1973 and

beyond. Contact HHES for more details. The Census Act

prohibits the release of individually identifiable data. The

Census Bureau uses statistical methods prior to data

release to ensure respondents’ confidentiality. In addition

to using statistical methods, the names and addresses of

respondents, and areas smaller than 100,000 people are

not identified. The sample design generally will not support analysis for areas smaller than those shown in the

The American Housing Surveys for 1999 and 2001 issued CD-ROMs titled ‘‘Table Generating Data Disk.’’ These CDs contain a special type of

database file called an EXTRACT. This file allows users to create their own tables (cross tabulations) with the built-in software. On these CDs, there

are data tables that users can manipulate to show selected information, to form graphs, and to print. Included also on these CDs is the microdata file

in both SAS and ASCII formats along with the associated documentation. The publications also are included.

Ask for U.S. Census Bureau series H150 and H151. Depository libraries may order Superintendent of Documents prefix C3.215. Libraries often

keep national books in a special catalog and section for U.S. Government documents. Metropolitan reports may be located in the general catalog

since these are not published by the Superintendent of Documents.

2Because Hispanics may be of any race, data can overlap slightly with other groups. Most Hispanics report themselves as White, but some report themselves as Black or in other categories. 3For manufactured/mobile homes, oldest category is 1939 or earlier.

4Figures may not add to total because more than one category may apply to a unit.

5Beginning with 1989, this item uses current income in its calculation, see Appendix A.

1Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander.

2Because Hispanics may be of any race, data can overlap slightly with other groups. Most Hispanics report themselves as White, but some report themselves as Black or in other categories. 3For manufactured/mobile homes, oldest category is 1939 or earlier.

4Figures may not add to total because more than one category may apply to a unit.

5Beginning with 1989, this item uses current income in its calculation, see Appendix A.

6May reflect a temporary situation, living off savings, or response error.

236 American Housing Survey for the Denver, CO Metropolitan Area: 2004

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Appendix A.

Definitions

Beginning with the 1997 survey, most questions had new

wording, compared with that used in earlier surveys. Also,

new questions and answer categories were added, and all

questions were read from (and answers entered into) portable computers. The AHS questionnaire is in a computer

program that runs on field representatives’ portable computers. The survey’s field representatives were instructed

to read the questions exactly as worded. For a discussion

of historical changes, see Appendix C. The exact wording

of the questions and numerous explanations (‘‘help’’

screens) are printed in the Codebook for the American

Housing Survey, Volume 3. For a copy, please contact HUD

USER, P.O.Box 23268, Washington, DC 20026-3268.

The definitions and explanations given here are, to a considerable extent, drawn from the questionnaire and the

AHS Field Representative Manual. The definitions are

alphabetized by the titles used in summary tables. Some

cross references are provided. If a specific definition is not

located, try related definitions. The definitions apply to

summary tables, and also to the computer files (‘‘microdata’’), unless they are marked ‘‘not applicable.’’

Adults and single children under 18 years old. See

the definition ‘‘Household composition.’’

Age of householder. The classification refers to the age

reported for the householder as of that person’s last birthday.

Age of other residential buildings within 300 feet.

The respondent was asked to describe the age of other

residential buildings within 300 feet of the sample unit.

The responses were then classified as: ‘‘Older,’’ ‘‘Newer,’’

‘‘About the same,’’ or ‘‘Very mixed.’’ ‘‘Very mixed’’ indicates

that the ages vary. If there are no other residential buildings within 300 feet, ‘‘No other residential buildings’’ was

marked.

Amenities. See the definition ‘‘Selected amenities.’’

Amount of savings and investments. These data were

collected only for families and primary individuals with

total incomes of $25,000 per year or less, to indicate how

many have substantial assets in spite of their low

incomes. Savings include savings in a bank, other financial

institution, or money market account. Other investments

include stocks, bonds, rental properties, second homes,

real estate, antiques, art, certificates of deposit, IRA or

KEOGH accounts, and commodities. Investments exclude

the primary residence and its furnishings, and cars.

Annual taxes paid per $1,000 value.

Publications. Real estate taxes paid per $1,000 value of

the house (and lot, except for manufactured/mobile

homes) are presented. Medians for taxes per $1,000 value

are rounded to the nearest dollar.

Microdata. Not applicable, can be calculated from taxes

and value.

Bars on windows of buildings. The respondent was

asked if any of the buildings within 300 feet of the sample

unit have metal bars on the windows. The condition of the

windows has no bearing on this item. The windows might

be in perfect condition, but the bars might be there to protect against vandalism. Windows that are boarded up or

covered with metal sheeting are not included.

Bathrooms. See the definition ‘‘Complete bathrooms.’’

Bedrooms. The number of bedrooms in the housing unit

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

they also are used for other purposes. Rooms reserved for

sleeping, such as guest rooms, even though used infrequently, are counted as bedrooms. On the other hand,

rooms used mainly for other purposes, even though used

also for sleeping or designed as bedrooms, such as a living room with a hideaway bed or a den or sewing room,

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.

Bodies of water within 300 feet. These questions

determine the proximity of the respondent’s property to

bodies of water such as ponds, lakes, rivers, or ocean.

Swimming pools and temporary pools of water are not

included in this definition. The respondent was also asked

if the property is waterfront property and whether the

property is on a flood plain.

Building and ground maintenance. Renters were asked

their level of satisfaction with the maintenance of the

grounds and building in which they lived. The responses

could have been ‘‘completely satisfied,’’ ‘‘partly satisfied,’’

‘‘dissatisfied,’’ or ‘‘landlord not responsible for ground

maintenance.’’

Building neighbor noise. Respondents in multiunit

buildings were asked about noise heard through floors,

walls, or ceilings of their units. Respondents were also

Appendix A A-1

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
asked about the frequency of noise. The survey also asked

the respondents’ opinions of the loudness of noise as well

as whether it was bothersome or not bothersome.

Buildings. See the definitions ‘‘Bars on windows of buildings,’’ ‘‘Common stairways,’’ ‘‘External building conditions,’’ and ‘‘Year structure built.’’

Business. See the definitions ‘‘Income,’’ ‘‘Other activities

on property,’’ and ‘‘Rooms.’’

Cars and trucks available. Included are passenger cars

and station wagons owned or regularly used by one or

more household members and ordinarily kept at home.

Company cars are counted (if used regularly for nonbusiness purposes and kept at home), as are taxicabs (if they

are owned by a household member and kept at home).

The total number of vehicles is not published, since cars

are counted separately from ‘‘trucks or vans.’’ In the publications, to obtain a count of all units lacking cars specifically, the lines ‘‘no cars, trucks, or vans’’ and ‘‘other households without cars’’ must be added together.

Included are pickups and small panel trucks of one-ton

capacity or less, and small vans that were owned or regularly used by one or more members of the household and

ordinarily kept at home. Company trucks and vans are

included if used regularly for nonbusiness purposes and

kept at home. To obtain a count of all units lacking trucks

or vans, the lines ‘‘no cars, trucks, or vans’’ and ‘‘with cars,

no trucks or vans’’ must be added together.

Except for units falling in the category ‘‘no cars, trucks, or

vans,’’ all units will fall into two categories. For example, a

unit with one car only would fall both in the category ‘‘1

car with or without trucks or vans’’ and ‘‘with cars, no

trucks or vans.’’

Cash received in primary mortgage refinance. An

owner can receive cash from a mortgage lender by refinancing the primary mortgage. This increases the outstanding balance of the loan.

Census. See the definition ‘‘Comparability with Census

2000 of Population and Housing data.’’

Central cities.

National publications and microdata. Since 1985, the

National AHS has used the official list of central cities published on June 27, 1983, by the Office of Management and

Budget as OMB Bulletin 83-20. That list was developed

from definitions published January 3, 1980, in the Federal

Register, Volume 45, pages 956–963. AHS still uses these

1983 boundaries for data in the 2003 national microdata

file to measure change consistently over time. However,

AHS uses the 1990 census-based geography for the data

in the 2003 national publication.

Most metropolitan statistical areas had at least one central

city, which was usually its largest city. In addition, any city

with at least 250,000 population or at least 100,000

people working within its corporate limits qualified as a

central city. Smaller cities were also identified as central

cities if they had at least 25,000 population and (1) had at

least 75 jobs for each 100 residents who were employed,

and (2) 60 percent or fewer of the city’s resident workers

commuted to jobs outside the city. Finally, in certain

smaller metropolitan statistical areas, there were places

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

qualified as central cities because they were at least onethird the size of the metropolitan statistical area’s largest

city and met the two commuting requirements.

See also the definitions ‘‘Place size’’ and ‘‘Urban and rural

residence.’’

Change in housing costs. For the householder and

those who moved with the householder, comparison is

made of the share of the housing costs paid in the previous unit with the share paid in the present residence.

Housing costs include mortgage and rent payment, real

estate taxes, insurance, utilities, land rent, and mobile

home park fees.

Choice of present home and home search. These data

are shown for units where the respondent moved during

the 12 months prior to the interview. The respondent was

asked a three-part question on choice of present home: (1)

whether the respondent looked at both houses/ manufactured/mobile homes, and apartments; (2) the reasons

the respondent chose the present home; and (3) the main

reason the present home was chosen. The distribution for

choice of present home may not add to the total because

the respondent was not limited to one response. See the

definition ‘‘Reasons for leaving previous unit.’’

Choice of present neighborhood and neighborhood

search. These data are shown for units where the respondent moved during the past year. The respondent was

asked a three-part question on choice of present neighborhood: (1) whether the respondent looked for a

house/apartment in any other neighborhood; (2) the reasons the respondent chose the present neighborhood; and

(3) the main reason the present neighborhood was chosen. The distribution for choice of present neighborhood

may not add to the total because the respondent was not

limited to one response.

Citizenship.

Citizenship of householder. Place of birth was asked for

each householder and every household member. There are

five categories of citizenship status: (1) born in the United

States, (2) born in Puerto Rico or another U.S. outlying

area, (3) born abroad of U.S. citizen parents, (4) naturalized citizens, or (5) noncitizens. People born in the United

States are citizens at birth.

Year householder immigrated to the United States. The

data are based on information reported for the householder and refer to the year the householder immigrated

to the United States.

A-2 Appendix A

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Common stairways. Common stairways are those used

by the occupants and guests to get to the doors of the

unit. They may be either inside the structure or attached

to the outside of the building. Data are presented for multiunit structures with two or more floors and common

stairways. The figures reflect the physical condition of the

stairway: the presence of loose, broken, or missing steps

or stair railings.

Community quality. Data are shown for units in communities that have one or more of the following amenities for

the use of its members and their guests: a community

center or clubhouse, golf course, walking/jogging trails,

shuttle bus, day care center, private or restricted-access

beach, park, or shoreline.

Commuting. See the definitions ‘‘Journey to work’’ and

‘‘Neighborhood conditions and neighborhood services.’’

Comparability with Census 2000 Population and

Housing data. The concepts and definitions are largely

the same for items that appeared in Census 2000 with the

following main exceptions.

In the AHS, recent movers are householders who moved

into their unit during the 12 months prior to the interview.

In Census 2000, mover households were those who

moved between January 1, 1999, and March 31, 2000, a

period of 15 months or less.

In the AHS, the number of bedrooms in the housing unit is

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

also are used for other purposes. In Census 2000, the

number of bedrooms was the number that the owner

would have listed if the house or apartment were on the

market for sale or rent.

Data on poverty status in Census 2000 were compiled

using the same approach as the official poverty measure.

Since poverty is a family-based measure, this means that

household members who were unrelated to the householder had a poverty status based on their own individual

incomes, whereas household members related to the

householder had a poverty status based on the combined

family income. Furthermore, Census 2000 did not evaluate

the poverty status of unrelated individuals under the age

of 15. In the AHS, data on poverty status are based on the

household as a unit. As a result, the total income of the

household–the sum of the income of all household members whether or not they are related to the householder–is

used to determine the poverty status of the household

and all the members living in it. (See the definition ‘‘Poverty status’’ for additional details.)

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

months prior to interview for those household members

16 years and older. The Census 2000 income data are for

calendar year 1999 and for income of household members

15 years and older.

Differences between the AHS and Census 2000 data also

may be attributed to the method of data collection (mailed

questionnaires in the census, personal and telephone

interviews in the AHS); differences in processing procedures and sample designs; the sampling variability associated with the sample data from both the AHS and the census; and the nonsampling errors associated with the

survey estimates and the census data.

A variety of data on mortgages and owner-occupied properties are presented in the Residential Finance Survey, a

specialized study done as part of Census 2000. Differences include the fact that the basic unit of tabulation in

the AHS is the housing unit, and in Residential Finance

publications it is the property. Also, all the data in the AHS

are provided by the occupant; in Residential Finance publications, mortgage is reconciled with responses from the

lender.

Comparability with Current Construction Reports

from the Survey of Construction. The U.S. Census

Bureau issues several publications under the series title,

Current Construction Reports. The data for these reports

are primarily from the Survey of Construction.

The major difference with the AHS is that the Survey of

Construction shows counts and characteristics of housing

units in various stages of construction through completion. The AHS shows only counts and characteristics of

completed housing. Additional differences 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 or adjoining

areas with a flush toilet, bathtub or shower, a sink, and

hot and cold piped water. A half bathroom has hot and

cold piped water and either a flush toilet or a bathtub or

shower, but does not have all the facilities for a complete

bathroom.

Condition of streets. The respondent was asked if any

of the streets within 300 feet of the sample unit needed

major repairs. Major repairs needed include large potholes, badly crumbling or deteriorating shoulders and

roadsides, and deep ruts. Minor repairs include small

cracks, shallow holes, or missing minor surfacing.

Condominium and cooperative fee. A condominium

fee is charged to the owners of the individual condominium unit on a regular basis. The fee covers operating

and maintenance costs of the common property; for

example: halls, lobby, parking areas, laundry room, swimming pool; as well as related administrative costs, such as

utilities billed communally and management fees.

A cooperative maintenance fee (also called carrying

charge) is a fee charged to the owners of the cooperative

on a regular basis. It covers a share of the annual amount

Appendix A A-3

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
paid by the cooperative for real estate taxes, mortgage

interest, and operating cost. In the publications, medians

for condominium fees and cooperative fees are rounded to

the nearest dollar.

Consolidated metropolitan statistical areas. A consolidated metropolitan statistical area (CMSA) is made up

of at least two primary metropolitan statistical areas. The

microdata identify specific CMSAs. See the definition ‘‘Metropolitan areas.’’

Construction. See the definitions ‘‘Comparability with

Current Construction Reports from the Survey of Construction’’ and ‘‘Year structure built.’’

Cooling degree days. See the definition ‘‘Heating and

cooling degree days.’’

Cooperatives and condominiums. A cooperative is a

type of ownership whereby a group of housing units is

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, but does not own the unit directly.

The corporation may have a mortgage on the whole group

of units. The member may have a loan or mortgage to buy

his or her shares in the corporation.

A condominium is a type of ownership that enables a person to own an apartment or house directly in a project of

similarly owned units. The owner’s name is on the deed,

and the owner may have a mortgage on the unit occupied.

The owner also may hold common or joint ownership in

some or all common areas such as grounds, hallways,

entrances, and elevators.

Cooperative or condominium ownership may apply to

various types of structures such as single-family houses,

rowhouses, and townhouses, as well as apartment units.

Cost. See the definitions ‘‘Annual taxes paid per $1,000

value,’’ ‘‘Change in housing costs,’’ ‘‘Real estate taxes,’’

‘‘Monthly housing costs,’’ ‘‘Other housing costs per

month,’’ and ‘‘Mortgages currently on property.’’

Cost and ownership sharing. This item is restricted to

owner-occupied housing units. Shared ownership is two or

more names on a deed or title. Shared costs include only

payments designated for mortgage or utility costs (not

taxes or insurance), whether paid directly to a mortgage

or utility company, or to household members. Not living

here means that one of the people sharing the ownership

or costs is not a household member.

Crime. See the subdefinition ‘‘Neighborhood crime,’’

under ‘‘Neighborhood conditions and neighborhood services.’’

Crop sales.

National microdata. Data on sales of $1,000 or more of

agricultural products during the 12-month period prior to

the interview were collected in rural areas.

Metropolitan microdata. Not applicable.

Current income. 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 and primary individuals 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.’’ The majority of respondents answered

‘‘about the same,’’ and their current income is therefore

defined as the total income of the family and any primary

individuals in the past year.

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 recently enter the job market,

retire, change jobs, or move often have a previous year’s

income that is too low or high to compare to housing

costs.

Current interest rate. This item refers to the annual percentage rate in effect as of the date of the interview, not

the rate when the mortgage was made, nor any imminent

changes of which the respondent may be aware. In the

publications, medians for current interest rate are rounded

to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Current line-of-credit interest rate. This item refers to

the annual percentage rate in effect on current line-ofcredit outstanding balances.

Current total loan as percent of value.

Publications. This percentage is computed by dividing the

outstanding principal amount by the value of the housing

unit. These medians are rounded to the nearest tenth of a

percent.

Microdata. Not applicable.

Dependent interviewing. Dependent interviewing is the

process by which data from surveys conducted in previous

years are used instead of, in addition to, or to verify data

collected during the current interview. The first use of

dependent interviewing in AHS was for the item ‘‘Year

structure built’’ in the year 1984.

A-4 Appendix A

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Description of area within 300 feet. The respondent

was asked to describe the area within a half block (defined

as within 300 feet) of the sample unit. The categories

include: single-family detached houses, single-family

attached houses, or low-rise (1-3 story) multiunit buildings, mid-rise (4-6 story) multiunit buildings, high-rise

(7-or-more story) multiunit buildings, and

manufactured/mobile homes.

The category ‘‘Commercial and institutional; industrial

buildings or factories’’ includes all varieties of nonresidential structures—such as offices, banks, hospitals, prisons,

pumping stations, water treatment plants, factories, parking garages, churches, hotels, restaurants, barns, and junk

yards.

‘‘Residential parking lots’’ exclude driveways of singlefamily homes and parking garages where parking is on

more than one level. ‘‘Body of water’’ refers to categories

such as lakes, ponds, streams, reservoirs, and rivers.

Swimming pools and temporary pools of water are

excluded.

‘‘Open space, park, woods, farm, or ranch’’ includes areas

such as cemeteries, golf courses, woods, forest preserves,

vacant lots, undeveloped land, airport land, ball fields,

and school fields.

Down payment. See the definition ‘‘Major source of down

payment.’’

Educational attainment. Data on educational attainment

are derived from a question that asks, ‘‘What is the highest

level of school ... completed or the highest degree ... has

received?’’ The question on educational attainment applied

only to progress in ‘‘regular’’ schools. Regular schools

include public, private, and parochial elementary and high

schools (both junior and senior), colleges, universities,

professional, vocational, trade, and business schools.

Schooling in other than regular schools is counted only if

the credits obtained are regarded as transferable in the

regular school system.

The category ‘‘high school graduate’’ includes people who

received either a high school diploma or the equivalent;

for example, passed the Test of General Educational Development [GED] and did not attend college. The category

‘‘Associate’s degree’’ includes people whose highest

degree is an associate’s degree in (1) an occupational program that prepares them for a specific occupation, and the

course work may or may not be creditable toward a bachelor’s degree or (2) an academic program primarily in the

arts and sciences, and the course work is transferable to a

bachelor’s degree. Some examples of professional degrees

include medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and law.

In the publications, to obtain the total number of householders who are high school graduates, add (1) high

school graduates only (includes equivalency), (2) graduates with some college, no degree, (3) with an associate’s

degree, (4) with a bachelor’s degree, and (5) with a graduate degree. To obtain the total number of householder

graduates with a bachelor’s degree, add (1) with a bachelor’s degree and (2) with a graduate or professional

degree. The microdata have similar information on other

household members aged 14 years and older.

See also the definition ‘‘Neighborhood conditions and

neighborhood services.’’

Elderly.

Publications. Data for the elderly include all households

with householders 65 years and older. Note that this definition is narrower than in Department of Housing and

Urban Development housing programs, which count as

elderly all households where the householder or spouse is

62 or older, or has a disability.

Microdata. Not applicable; data can be classified at any

age.

Electric fuses and circuit breakers. These statistics are

presented for occupied housing units. The data show

whether an electric fuse has blown or circuit breaker has

tripped in the home in the 3 months prior to the interview,

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

months. A blown fuse or tripped breaker switch results in

the temporary loss of electricity until the fuse is replaced

or the breaker switch reset. Blown fuses inside major

pieces of installed equipment (such as some air conditioners) are counted as blown fuses or tripped breaker

switches. The item may identify inadequate wiring, but it

also happens commonly when people move into houses

and are unfamiliar with which items can be turned on at

the same time.

Electricity. See the definition ‘‘Monthly costs for electricity and gas.’’

Elevator on floor. Statistics are shown for housing units

in structures with two or more floors that have one or

more passenger elevators in working condition on the

same floor as the sample unit. Elevators used only for

freight are excluded.

Equipment. This item refers to selected equipment that is

not shared with other households. Refrigerators, burners,

ovens, and disposals are counted only if they were in

working order or the household planned to have them

repaired or replaced soon.

Complete kitchen facilities. A housing unit has complete

kitchen facilities when it has all of the following:

(1) kitchen sink; (2) burners, cook stove, or microwave

oven; and (3) refrigerator. These terms are further defined

below.

The same criteria are used for occupied and vacant units

in determining complete kitchen facilities. In some areas

of the country it is common for the occupant to bring a

refrigerator. In these cases the vacant unit, lacking a

refrigerator, has an incomplete kitchen.

Appendix A A-5

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Kitchen sink. Only a sink in the unit or on an enclosed

porch is counted, but it does not matter whether it is in

the kitchen. However a bathroom sink does not count as a

kitchen sink.

Refrigerator. It may or may not have a freezer. Kerosene

refrigerators are counted, but not ice boxes.

Microwave oven. Data for microwave ovens were collected

only if the respondent did not report having a cooking

stove with oven, or burners. Prior to 1997, the data collected included all types of ovens except toaster ovens.

Burners. Data for burners were collected only if the

respondent did not report having a cooking stove with

oven. Burners built into a stove or counter top are

counted, as are burners on a wood-burning stove.

Cooking stove. The cookstove can be mechanical or woodburning.

Dishwasher. Counter top dishwashers are not counted.

Washing machine. Any kind with a motor is counted.

Clothes dryer. Only clothes dryers with motors are

counted, not hand-operated wringers or hand-turned spin

dryers.

Disposal in sink. A disposal is a motorized device that

grinds waste so it can flow through the waste water pipe.

Trash compactor. Only built-in motorized trash compactors are counted.

Air conditioning. Air conditioning is defined as the cooling

of air by a refrigeration unit; excluded are evaporative

coolers, fans, or blowers that are not connected to a

refrigeration unit. A room air-conditioning unit is an individual air conditioner that is installed in a window or an

outside wall and generally intended to cool one room,

although it may sometimes be used to cool several rooms.

A central system is an installation that air conditions the

entire housing unit or major portions of it. In an apartment building, a central system may cool all apartments in

the building; each apartment may have its own central

system; or there may be several systems, each providing

central air conditioning for a group of apartments. A central installation with individual room controls is a central

air-conditioning system.

External building conditions. The external condition of

the building that contains the sample unit is determined

by direct questions asked of the respondent. The categories were grouped into the following: roof, walls, windows, and foundation.

Roof. A ‘‘sagging roof’’ is a critical defect indicating continuous neglect, or deep or serious damage to the structure. Only roofs with substantial sagging are included.

‘‘Missing roofing material’’ includes rotted, broken, loose

or missing shingles, tiles, slate, shake, and tin, caused by

extensive damage from fire, storm, or serious neglect.

‘‘Hole in roof’’ occurs when the missing roof materials

expose the interior of the unit directly to weather. Holes

caused by construction activity are not counted unless the

construction has been abandoned.

Walls. ‘‘Missing bricks, siding, other outside wall material’’

applies to the exterior wall (including chimney) of the

structure. These defects may be caused by storm, fire,

flood, extensive neglect, vandalism, and so forth. Materials may include clapboard siding, shingles, boards, brick,

concrete, and stucco. The missing materials do not necessarily expose the interior of the unit directly to weather.

Missing materials resulting from construction activity are

not counted unless construction has been abandoned.

‘‘Sloping outside walls’’ is a critical defect indicating continuous neglect or serious damage to the structure. Only

walls with substantial sagging are included.

Windows. ‘‘Boarded-up windows’’ have been sealed off to

protect against weather or entry and include windows

and/or doors covered by board, brick, metal, or some

other material. ‘‘Broken windows’’ indicate several broken

or missing window panes. ‘‘Bars on windows’’ are to protect against unlawful entry. The condition of the windows

has no bearing on this item. The bars can be vertical, horizontal, or a metal grating. Windows completely covered

with metal sheeting are not included in this category.

Foundation crumbling or has open crack or hole. This category includes large cracks, holes, and rotted, loose, or

missing foundation material.

Extra unit. Extra units include units classified as usual

residence elsewhere (URE), vacant units designated as

occasional use, and seasonal units (excluding migratory).

A series of four questions was asked concerning these

units.

Reasons for extra unit owned.

• Previous usual residence—never sold the unit after moving from the unit into a new permanent residence.

• Recreational purposes—used for vacations, weekends,

sports, and holidays, but not anyone’s usual residence

currently.

• Investment purposes—kept currently for investment

purposes regardless of why it was obtained originally.

• Wishes to sell the property but has not been able to

yet—the owner is currently attempting to sell the unit

but has not been successful.

• Inherited—received as an inheritance in the settling of

an estate.

• Some other reason—used if none of the other designations applied.

A-6 Appendix A

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Location of extra unit. Designates how close the unit is to

the owner’s current residence.

Nights owner spent at extra unit. Indicates how often the

extra unit was used by the owner.

Nights owner rented extra unit. Determines how often the

extra unit was used by people other than the owner.

Family or primary individual. While any occupant of a

housing unit is called a household member, each household includes either one of the following:

• a family, which is the householder and all (one or more)

other people living in the same household who are

related to the householder by blood, marriage, or adoption.

• a primary individual, which is a householder who lives

alone or with nonrelatives only. In any case the household also may include one or more roommates, lodgers,

servants, or other people unrelated to the householder.

These are considered members of the household but

not of the family.

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.

While they are part of the family, they are also usually a

subfamily (see the definition ‘‘Persons other than spouse

or children’’).

By definition, families include the householder and at least

one relative, so in the statistics on household composition, families are always included in the various categories

of two-or-more-person households. Primary individuals

with nonrelatives living with them also are tabulated as

two-or-more-person households. Primary individuals living

alone are tabulated as one-person households.

The definition of families and primary individuals is significant in that some income items are collected only for

the family or primary individual; these are: source of

income, current income, food stamps, savings, and investments. (Source of income and amount of wages are, in

fact, only for family members 16 years and older.) For

other household members 16 years and older, who are not

related to the householder, total income is collected for

each person, but sources and current changes in income

are not identified, and their income is not included in comparisons with monthly housing costs or value. The distinction is meant to approximate whose income may be available for housing and other shared living expenses.

However it is imperfect in the case of roommates who

share more or less equally. See also the definition ‘‘Household composition.’’

Farm. See the definition ‘‘Crop sales.’’

First-time owners. If neither the owner nor any

co-owner has ever owned or co-owned another home as a

usual residence, then the housing unit is reported as the

first home ever owned. Previous homes purchased solely

as vacation homes or homes purchased for commercial

rental purposes are not considered usual residences. However, if a previously owned home was originally purchased

as a usual residence and later used as a vacation home or

for commercial or rental purposes, the owner is not a firsttime owner.

Flush toilet and flush toilet breakdowns. A privy or

chemical toilet is not considered a flush toilet. Flush toilets outside the unit are 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

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

some other reason. For households with more than one

toilet, the question asked about times when all toilets

were unusable.

Food stamps. These data are restricted to families and

primary individuals with total incomes of $25,000 per

year or less. Housing units are counted in these data if the

householder or any relative currently living in the unit

received food stamps in the past year, even at another

address. Throughout most of the United States, stamps

have been replaced by the electronic benefit transfer (EBT)

which is a system allowing transfer via debit card of government benefits from a federal account to a retail outlet’s

account. The food stamp program is a joint federal-state

program that is administered by the U.S. Department of

Agriculture and state and local governments.

Foundation. This item is restricted to one-unit buildings

and excludes mobile homes. A structure has a basement if

there is an enclosed space at least partially underground

in which a person can walk upright under all or part of the

building. The basement is under all the building if it is

under the entire main structure, excluding garages, carports, and porches. A crawl space is space between the

ground and the first floor of the house, but it is not high

enough for a person to walk upright. A house is built on a

concrete slab if it is built on concrete that has been

poured on the ground. The ‘‘other’’ category refers to a

house built on stilts or pilings (for example, beach

houses), boats, and motor homes.

Fuels. Electricity may be supplied by above- or underground electric power lines or generated at the housing

unit. Piped gas is gas piped through underground pipes

from a central system to serve the neighborhood. Bottled

gas is pressurized gas stored in tanks or bottles that are

filled or exchanged when empty. Fuel oil is heating oil normally supplied by truck to a storage tank for use by the

heating system.

Kerosene or other liquid fuel includes kerosene, gasoline,

alcohol, and other similar combustible liquids.

Appendix A A-7

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Coal or coke is usually delivered by truck.

Wood refers to the use of wood or wood charcoal as a fuel.

Solar energy refers to the use of energy available from

sunlight as a heating fuel source.

Other includes briquettes made of pitch and sawdust, coal

dust, waste material like corncobs, purchased steam, or

any other fuel not listed.

Fuels, other house heating. These are the same types

of fuels mentioned above but used in addition to and/or

supplementing the main house heating fuel.

Gas. See the definition ‘‘Monthly costs paid for electricity

and gas.’’

Government subsidy for repairs. ‘‘Government subsidy for repairs’’ refers to an assistance program provided

by the federal, state, or local government for the purpose

of obtaining or installing energy conservation products for

low income households. The money must be spent that

way. The type of products include insulation, storm doors,

storm windows, weather stripping, caulking, furnace tuneups, or for repair of broken doors and windows.

Ground anchors. See the definition ‘‘Manufactured

housing/mobile home tiedowns.’’

Group quarters. See the definition ‘‘Housing units.’’

Halls. See the definition ‘‘Light fixtures in public halls.’’

Heating and cooling degree days.

National publications and microdata. Each degree that the

average temperature for a day is below 65 degrees Fahrenheit produces one heating degree day (HDD). For

example, if the maximum temperature is 70 degrees F and

the minimum temperature is 52 degrees F, the average

temperature for the day is 61 degrees, resulting in four

heating degree days. A day when the average temperature

is 65 or more has zero heating degree days.

Each degree that the average temperature for a day is

above 65 degrees Fahrenheit produces one cooling degree

day (CDD). For example, if the maximum temperature is

80 degrees F and the minimum temperature is 62 degrees

F, the average temperature for the day is 71 degrees,

resulting in six cooling degree days. A day when the average temperature is 65 or less has zero cooling degree

days.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

(NOAA) provided the information on degree days, based

on averages for 1951–80. Each sample unit was assigned

heating and cooling degree days using average NOAA data

for counties.

Metropolitan publications and microdata. Not applicable.

Heating equipment. Data are shown for the main heating equipment and other heating equipment used in addition to the main heating equipment. More than one category of ‘‘Other heating equipment’’ could be reported for

the same household. Only one type of equipment was

shown as the ‘‘Main heating equipment.’’

Warm-air furnace refers to a central system that provides

warm air through ducts leading to various rooms.

Steam or hot water system refers to a central heating system in which heat from steam or hot water is delivered

through radiators or other outlets. It also includes solar

heated hot water that is circulated throughout the home.

Electric heat pump refers to a heating and cooling system

that utilizes indoor and outdoor coils, a compressor, and a

refrigerant to pump in heat during the winter and pump

out heat during the summer. Only heat pumps that are

centrally installed with ducts to the rooms are included in

this category. Others are included in wall units.

Built-in electric units refers to units permanently installed

in floors, walls, ceilings, or baseboards.

Floor, wall, or other built-in hot-air unit without ducts

refers to a system that delivers warm air to the room right

above the furnace or to the room(s) on one or both sides

of the wall in which the furnace is installed.

Room heater with flue refers to nonportable room heaters

in the wall or free standing heaters that burn liquid fuel,

and which are connected to a flue, vent, or chimney to

remove smoke and fumes.

Room heater without flue refers to any room heater that

burns kerosene, gas, or oil, and that does not connect to

flue, vent, or chimney.

Portable electric heater refers to heaters that receive current from an electrical wall outlet.

Fireplaces with inserts refers to a fan-forced air circulation

system installed in the fireplace to force the heat into the

room.

Fireplaces without inserts refers to glass door fire screens

or fire backs inserted in the back of the fireplace to passively reflect heat.

Cooking stove refers to gas or electric ranges or stoves

originally manufactured to cook food.

Stove refers to any range or stove that burns solid fuel

including wood burning, pot belly, and Franklin stoves.

Other includes any heating equipment that does not fit the

definition for any of the previous definitions.

Heating equipment breakdowns. Statistics are shown

for housing units occupied by the householder during the

winter prior to the interview and refer only to the main

heating equipment. The data are classified by whether the

A-8 Appendix A

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
housing unit was uncomfortably cold for 24 hours or

more, the number of times equipment breakdowns lasted

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 cutoff 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.

Cost of heating refers to the occupants turning down their

thermostat or turning the equipment off altogether to save

money. This category includes utilities/fuels that are

unavailable due to unpaid bills.

Hispanic. ‘‘Hispanic’’ refers to the origin of the householder, and was determined by asking respondents to

identify people living in the unit who were Hispanic or

Spanish American. There is no intent to include people of

Brazilian or Portuguese ancestry. Hispanics may be of any

race. Most identify themselves as White or Black, as shown

in Table 2-1.

Home equity line-of-credit. This is a revolving homeequity loan that allows the property owner to borrow

against the equity up to a fixed limit set by the lender

without reapplying for a loan.

Home-equity lump-sum loan. This is a home equity

loan that is paid out in a one-time lump-sum amount and

that must be repaid over a set period of time.

Home-equity mortgage. See the definition ‘‘Mortgages

currently on property.’’

Homes currently for sale or rent. The data are presented in the publication for owner-occupied units, yearround units temporarily occupied by people who have a

usual residence elsewhere, and vacant units. The owner

may offer the unit up for rent only, up for rent or for sale,

or for sale only. In addition, the owner may have contracted to rent or sell the unit, but the transfer has not yet

taken place. Finally, the housing unit may be not on the

market at all.

Household. A household consists of all people who

occupy a particular housing unit as their usual residence,

or who live there at the time of the interview and have no

usual residence elsewhere. The usual residence is 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.

Households 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. It

includes people temporarily away for reasons such as visiting, traveling in connection with their jobs, attending

school, in general hospitals, and in other temporary relocations.

By definition, the count of households is the same as the

count of occupied housing units.

Household composition.

Publications. The following categories are published in the

publications.

Married-couple families. Each household in this group

includes the householder and spouse, and other people, if

any, who are related to the householder and live in the

household. If the householder’s spouse is not present, but

another married couple is present; for example, daughter

and son-in-law or mother- and father-in-law, the household

is not counted here as a married-couple family.

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

divorced, separated or single, or who are married with

wife absent for other reasons.

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

divorced, separated or single, or who are married with

husband absent for other reasons.

No nonrelatives. When this phrase modifies Married-couple

households, then households that include householder,

spouse, nonrelatives, and other relatives, if any, are

included with Other male and Other female householder,

rather than with Married-couples, no nonrelatives.

Single children under 18 years old. This category includes

all household members under 18 years, whether related to

the householder or not, who are not currently married

(they have never been married, or are divorced, separated,

or widowed). For example, it includes currently unmarried

children of lodgers and foster children.

Own never-married children. This category includes any

household member under 18 years old, if he or she has

never been married, and is a son, daughter, stepchild, or

adopted child of the householder. By definition, children of

subfamilies are not children of the householder, so they

are excluded from this count. The data are published for

both this definition of children and the definition above

(based on age and current marital status), in different stub

items, so readers can see whether the definition of children affects their findings.

Microdata. Not applicable; researchers may calculate these

and other categories from the data on each person.

Appendix A A-9

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
See also the definitions ‘‘Persons other than spouse or children’’ and ‘‘Family or primary individual.’’

Household moves and formation.

Publications. Data are shown for households that moved

into the present unit during the 12 months prior to the

date of the interview. The distribution is further classified

by (1) whether the household moved together from the

same unit, from two or more units, or moved at separate

times, and (2) if previous householder(s) moved into the

present unit.

The total does not measure net household formation,

since it omits deaths, moves to institutions, and moves

abroad, and it does not show whether all occupants of the

previous unit moved here; some may have stayed there, or

moved elsewhere.

The categories do indicate people moving out of units

where they were not the householder (divorce or children

setting out on their own), and people moving in with others (marriage, roommates, children moving from one parent to another, or to a grandparent).

Householder. The householder is the first household

member listed on the questionnaire who is an owner or

renter of the sample unit and is 18 years or older. An

owner is a person whose name is on the deed, mortgage,

or contract to purchase. A renter is a person whose name

is on the lease. If there is no lease, a renter is a person

responsible for paying the rent. If no one meets the full

criteria, the age requirement is relaxed before the

owner/renter requirement. Where the respondent is one of

several unrelated people who all could meet the criteria,

the interviewer will select one of them to be listed first

who then becomes the householder.

Microdata. Not applicable; researchers may calculate these

and other categories from the data on each person.

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

group of rooms, or single room occupied or intended for

occupancy as separate living quarters.

Living quarters is a general term that includes both housing units and group quarters. Living quarters include

structures intended for residential use (such as a house,

apartment building, boarding house, or mobile home). Living quarters also include the following, but only if they are

occupied as usual residences: (a) places such as tents,

caves, boats, and railroad cars; and (b) structures intended

for nonresidential use (such as rooms in a warehouse

where a guard lives). Living quarters exclude quarters

being used entirely for nonresidential purposes, such as a

store, an office, or quarters used for storing business supplies, machinery, or agricultural products.

Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants

live and eat separately from any other people in the structure and that have direct access from the outside of the

structure or through a common hall, lobby, or vestibule

that is used or intended for use by the occupants of more

than one unit or by the general public. This means that

the hall, lobby, or vestibule is not part of any unit, but

must be clearly separate from all units in the structure. For

vacant units, the criteria of separateness and direct access

are applied to the intended occupants whenever possible.

If the information cannot be obtained, the criteria are

applied to the previous occupants.

Group quarters. The following types of living quarters are

not classified as housing units and are not covered by the

AHS interviews (some are in the microdata as Noninterviews):

Institutional group quarters are living quarters occupied by one or more people under care or custody, such

as children in an orphanage, people in a nursing home,

and prisoners in a penitentiary.

Noninstitutional group quarters do not involve care or

custody, and do not have separate living. They include

college dormitories, fraternity and sorority houses,

nurses’ dormitories, and special living arrangements for

the elderly. In addition, noninstitutional group quarters

include any living quarters that are occupied by nine or

more people unrelated to the householder.

Note that institutional and commercial establishments

that have single-family houses or individual apartments

with direct access, where staff live and eat separately,

such as some residential hotels, and units for college

professors, are housing units. Military housing for

singles is not covered, but housing where civilian family members live is, if it meets the definition of a housing unit.

Hotels. Occupied rooms or suites of rooms in hotels,

motels, and similar places are classified as housing units

only when occupied by permanent residents; that is,

people who consider the hotel as their usual residence or

have no usual residence elsewhere. Vacant rooms or suites

of rooms are classified as housing units only in those

hotels, motels, and similar places in which 75 percent or

more of the accommodations are occupied by permanent

residents.

Rooming houses. If any of the occupants in a rooming or

boarding house live and eat separately from everyone else

in the building and have direct access, their quarters are

classified as separate housing units. The remaining quarters are combined. If the combined quarters contain eight

or fewer roomers unrelated to the householder, or a person in charge, they are counted as one housing unit. Otherwise they are noninstitutional group quarters.

New housing units. Units being built are classified as housing units (though they may be vacant) if construction has

reached a point where all exterior windows and doors are

installed and final usable floors are in place. Note this

A-10 Appendix A

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
stage of construction is earlier than the one used in Duration of vacancy (see the definition ‘‘Vacancy, seasonality’’),

which measures when construction was completed.

The occupants of each housing unit may be a single family, one person living alone, two or more families living

together, or any other group of related or unrelated people

who share living arrangements (up to the limit of eight

people unrelated to the householder).

Both occupied and vacant units are counted, except that

the following are excluded if they are vacant: (a) tents,

caves, boats, railroad cars, and the like; (b) structures

intended for nonresidential use; (c) units used for business

storage (storage of personal furniture does not disqualify

a unit); and (d) units unfit for human habitation (roof,

walls, windows, or doors no longer protect the interior

from weather, or there is positive evidence such as a sign

on the house or block that the unit is to be demolished or

is condemned).

How the housing unit was acquired. The householder

obtained the housing unit by one of several options: by

buying the house already built; by signing a sales agreement that included the land as well as the cost of building

the house; by having a contractor build it on the householder’s land; by the householder building it on the householder’s own land (this includes a person acting as own

contractor; this also includes leased land); or by receiving

it as a gift or inheritance.

Income. The survey covers total money income in the 12

months before the interview. It covers people age 16 and

older (age 14 and older before 1999) currently living in

the housing unit, even if they lived elsewhere during some

of the previous 12 months. The figures represent the

amount of income before any deductions such as taxes,

Social Security, union dues, bonds, and insurance.

The figures exclude: capital gains; lump sum payments

from inheritances or insurance; occasional gifts; other sporadic payments; money borrowed; tax refunds; withdrawal

of bank deposits; accrued interest on uncashed savings

bonds; payments between household members except

wages in a family business; income ‘‘in kind’’ such as free

living quarters, housing subsidies, food stamps, or food

produced and consumed in the home; and money from

the sale of property (unless the recipient was in the business of selling such property). Figures also exclude

income of people who have died or moved out of the

housing unit, even if they lived in it for part of the previous 12 months.

Most data are from the respondent’s replies. For people

not related to the householder, the interviewer tries to ask

them directly about their income, but if they are not available, the interviewer asks the respondent. Medians for

income are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars.

Figures are shown separately for household income and

income of families and primary individuals (see the definition ‘‘Family and primary individuals’’). Each has its own

advantages. Only household income includes the income

of lodgers, roommates, employees, and other household

members who are not related to the householder.

Wages and salaries include income received for work performed as an employee. It includes wages, salary, piecerate payments, commissions, tips, cash bonuses, and

Armed Forces pay, but not pay that a business owner pays

to herself or himself.

Business, farm, or ranch income is received from selfemployment in a business, professional practice, partnership, or farm.

Social Security and pensions include pensions, survivors’

benefits, and disability payments. This is not intended to

include Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which is

grouped with welfare, but many respondents confuse SSI

and Social Security. Both come from the Social Security

Administration. They used to be issued on different colored checks to minimize confusion, but now most payments are sent by electronic deposit.

Interest is money received or credited to a person’s

account for the use of money. Notes, bonds, deposits in

banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations,

money market accounts, and certificates of deposit (CDs)

are the most common sources of interest.

Stock dividends are payments made by a corporation to its

stockholders. These include periodic payments from an

estate or trust fund, and dividends paid or credited to

those who hold shares in a mutual fund.

Rental income includes the total money received from

rental of property, rental from real estate, or from roomers

or boarders, less all rental expenses.

SSI is the Supplemental Security Income Program, which is

administered by the Social Security Administration, and

replaces most public assistance payments that were previously made by state and local welfare agencies to lowincome aged, blind, and disabled persons.

Public assistance or welfare includes money received from

local or state administered public assistance programs,

such as old-age assistance, Temporary Assistance for

Needy Families (TANF), aid to the blind or totally disabled,

or other public assistance.

Alimony or child support includes alimony, money

received periodically from a former spouse after a divorce

or legal separation. Child support is money received for

the support of children not living with their father/mother

as the result of a legal separation.

Other includes worker’s compensation or other disability

payments, unemployment compensation, veteran’s payments, total amount that parents receive for the care of

Appendix A A-11

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
foster children in their home, money received from gambling, scholarship and fellowship money received by students for which no service or work was required, military

reenlistment bonuses, and any other sources of money

income not specified above.

There may be significant differences in the income data

between the AHS and other surveys and censuses. For

example, the time period for income data in the AHS is 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 how income questions are asked, levels of

missing data (usually high on questions about income),

whether missing data are estimated or ignored, sampling

variability, and nonsampling errors.

See also the definition ‘‘Current income’’ in Appendix A,

the topics ‘‘Poverty’’ in Appendix C, and ‘‘Effect on income’’

in Appendix D.

Inside (P)MSAs. See the definition ‘‘Metropolitan areas.’’

Insurance. See the definition ‘‘Property insurance.’’

Interest. See the definition ‘‘Current interest rate.’’

Items included in primary mortgage payment. The

respondent was asked to indicate which items were

included in the monthly mortgage payment besides principal and interest. These items include property taxes, property insurance, private mortgage insurance, and other

charges. Other charges may include disability insurance or

life insurance.

Journey to work. Metropolitan and national publications

and microdata. The publications publish data on householders. The microdata have similar information on all

workers. .

Workers. This includes all people 14 years and older who

held a job in the United States any time the week before

the interview.

Householders who worked last week. This includes householders who reported having a job in the United States any

time the week before the interview.

Principal means of transportation to work last week. This

refers to the principal mode of travel used to get from

home to work. People who use different means of transportation on different days of the week were asked to

specify the one used most often. People 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 trip to work. Public transportation refers

to bus, streetcar, subway, or elevated trains. ‘‘Other

means’’ includes taxicabs, ferryboats, surface trains, or

van service. See also the definition ‘‘Neighborhood conditions and neighborhood services.’’

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

minutes to usually get from home to work during the

week prior to interview was counted as the travel time to

work. The elapsed time includes time spent waiting for

public transportation and picking up members of carpools. Respondents were instructed to report travel time

to the nearest minute.

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

work are those who did not usually work at the same location each day and do not usually report to a central location to begin work each day.

Distance from home to work. This is the usual one-way,

‘‘door-to-door’’ distance in miles from home to work during the week prior to interview. Respondents were

instructed to report travel rounded to the nearest mile.

Departure time to work. This refers to the time (hour and

minutes) the respondent left for work. The categories

begin with midnight and progress to 11:59 p.m.

Kitchen. See the definition ‘‘Equipment.’’

Land contract. A land contract is an arrangement for the

sale of real estate whereby the buyer may use, occupy,

and enjoy land, but no deed is given by the seller (and no

title passes) until all of the sale price has been paid.

Last used as a permanent residence. See the definition ‘‘Vacancy, seasonality.’’

Lenders of primary and secondary mortgage. This

item is presented for units with two or more mortgages.

The data are classified by whether the money was borrowed from a firm (bank or other organization), the seller

of the property, or from another individual. Other organizations consist of mortgage corporations, pension plans,

credit unions, and savings and loan associations. Other

individual(s) includes anyone who was not the most recent

owner.

Light fixtures in public halls. These statistics are presented for housing units in two-or-more-unit structures.

Data include whether or not there are light fixtures in the

public halls and whether or not none, some, or all of the

light fixtures are in working order. Light fixtures include

wall lights, ceiling lights, or table lamps in the public halls

of the building. Public halls are used by the occupants and

guests to get to their apartment doors.

Line of credit. See the definition ‘‘Home equity line-ofcredit.’’

Line-of-credit amount used for home additions,

improvements, or repairs. This is the percentage of the

dollar amount of home equity loans used for home additions, improvements, or repairs.

Line-of-credit monthly payment. This is the monthly

payment on the line-of-credit paid to the bank at the

present interest rate.

A-12 Appendix A

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Living quarters. See the definition ‘‘Housing units.’’

Location of previous unit. Publications show data for

units in which the householder moved during the 12

months prior to the interview. Microdata show similar

information for moves since the previous interview, or for

the past 2 years for units added to the sample.

The data compare metropolitan areas of the previous residence and the residence in the AHS sample, where the

interview was conducted. The AHS residence is coded by

its 1983 metropolitan area definition (see the definition

‘‘Metropolitan areas’’), which may not be the current area

definition. Since 1993, coding the previous residence with

comparable 1983 boundaries has not been done because

of geographic boundary changes. Therefore, this item has

been suppressed to avoid the appearance of spurious

changes.

Lodgers. See the definitions ‘‘Household,’’ ‘‘Persons other

than spouse or children,’’ and ‘‘Rent paid by lodgers.’’

Lot size. Lot size includes all connecting land that is

owned or rented with the home. Excluded are two-ormore-unit buildings and two-or-more-unit mobile homes.

In the publications, median lot size is shown to hundredths of an acre.

Lower cost state and local mortgages. Data are

shown for owner-occupied units with one or more mortgages. These are loans generally 1 percent to 3 percent

below the current mortgage interest rate at the time the

loan was made. The loans are managed through state

or local governments. Excluded are federally funded

programs of the Veterans Administration and RHS/RD,

formerly Farmers Home Administration.

Lump-sum loan. See the definition ‘‘Home-equity lumpsum loan.’’

Major source of down payment. This item refers to the

source of the cash used for down payment or outright purchase of the property (house or lot). If more than one

source applied, the one providing the largest amount was

recorded.

Sale of previous home was reported only if the previous

home was sold during the 12 months preceding the acquisition of the present home.

Savings, or cash on hand, includes money drawn as bank

deposits, credit unions, share accounts, saving bonds, certificates of deposits (CDs), money market funds, and IRA

or KEOGH accounts.

Sale of other investment includes the sale of other real

property or real estate other than the previous home or

from the sale of other investments such as stocks, bonds,

mutual funds, or dissolved business ventures.

Borrowing other than a mortgage on this property is

shown if the present owner borrowed the down payment,

even if the property was mortgaged.

Money received as a gift regardless of the source was categorized inheritance or gift.

Land where building built used for financing means the

land on which the structure was built was used as the

present owner’s equity in the property.

Sources of down payment that do not fit any of the above

categories were recorded in the other category.

Manager. See the definition ‘‘Owner or manager on property.’’

Manufactured/mobile homes. A manufactured/mobile

home is defined as a housing unit that was originally constructed to be towed on its own chassis (also called HUDCode homes). It also may have permanent rooms attached

at its present site or other structural modifications. The

term does not include prefabricated buildings, modular

homes, travel campers, boats, or self-propelled vehicles

like motor homes. Some people use the terms trailer or

manufactured housing in the same sense as mobile

homes.

Manufactured/mobile home setup.

Manufactured/mobile homes are placed on a permanent

masonry foundation; rest on concrete pads; or are up on

blocks, but not on concrete pads.

Manufactured/mobile home tiedowns.

Manufactured/mobile home or trailer tiedowns are

ground-anchor foundation systems that give stability to

manufactured housing/mobile homes.

Manufactured/mobile homes in group.

Manufactured/mobile homes or mobile home sites gathered close together are considered to be in a ‘‘group.’’ This

may be a mobile home park or it may be a number

grouped together on adjacent individually owned lots not

in a mobile home park. See also the definition ‘‘Site placement.’’

Medians.

Publications. We estimate each median from the printed

distribution. For example, if there are 12 million homes of

a particular type, the median is the 6 millionth, or halfway

point of these homes. Therefore, if 5 million homes are

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

above $400. Finally, if the next interval printed in the publication (from $400 to $449) has 3 million homes, the

median is assumed to be one-third of the way through the

interval (at $417).

This technique overestimates medians by a few percent

because 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.

Appendix A A-13

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
We do not show the median at all if the distribution is estimated to have fewer than 25 sample cases (50,000 homes

in the national publications).

Microdata. Not applicable; no medians are shown in the

public use file.

Median monthly housing costs for owners.

Publications. In addition to the median for ‘‘Monthly housing costs,’’ this item gives two additional medians for

owner-occupied units. The first median includes maintenance costs in addition to those items included in

‘‘Monthly housing costs.’’ The second median excludes

second and subsequent mortgages, installment loans or

contracts, and maintenance costs, but includes all remaining items listed in ‘‘Monthly housing costs.’’ Because neither of these medians includes costs for renter-occupied

units, they are not comparable to the median presented in

‘‘Monthly housing costs,’’ except in the ‘‘Owners column’’

and the ‘‘Owners’’ chapter.

Microdata. Not applicable.

Metropolitan areas. Metropolitan areas are made up of

whole counties (towns in New England) that have significant levels of commuting and contiguous urban areas in

common. They may cross state lines, and usually include

large amounts of rural land and farm land, provided the

county or town as a whole qualifies. See also the definitions ‘‘Central cities,’’ ‘‘Places,’’ and ‘‘Urban,’’ which is

based on much higher population density than metropolitan areas.

National publications and microdata. Since 1985 the

National AHS has used the official list of metropolitan

areas published on June 27, 1983, by the Office of Management and Budget as OMB Bulletin 83-20. That list was

developed from definitions published January 3, 1980, in

the Federal Register, Volume 45, pages 956-963. AHS still

uses these 1983 boundaries for data in the 2003 national

microdata file to measure change consistently over time.

However, AHS uses the 1990 census-based geography for

the data in the 2003 national publication.

National microdata identify parts of many metropolitan

areas. The sample size is usually too small for analysis,

but researchers may group the areas; for example, by

growth rate, turnover rate, and size, to have enough cases

in each group to analyze. For six broad areas, containing a

total of 18 metropolitan area codes (shown in Codebook

for the American Housing Survey, Volume 2 or 3), the

sample sizes have been augmented to permit analysis:

Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York, Northern New

Jersey, and Philadelphia. Elsewhere, metropolitan area

codes are shown for (a) central cities of a metropolitan

area where they had total 1980 population of 100,000 or

more, and (b) urbanized suburbs of a metropolitan area

where they had total 1980 population of 100,000 or more.

In some areas, only central cities or only suburbs met the

cutoff, so only those sample cases show metropolitan

codes. Other sample cases show 9999 as their metropolitan code, which is a suppression for confidentiality that

does not affect the printed publications.

Metropolitan publications and microdata. Since 1995 the

metropolitan AHS has used HUD definitions of metropolitan areas. These start from the definitions of the Office of

Management and Budget, but some outlying areas are

omitted from the HUD definitions. Those counties have

enough commuting to meet the OMB definition, but HUD

believes they are not part of the same housing market as

the rest of the area and need to be omitted for housing

analysis. The areas for a given year included in and

excluded from each metropolitan area are listed in the

front of the publications for that year.

Monthly costs paid for electricity and piped gas.

Three separate procedures are used to estimate monthly

costs of electricity and gas. All respondents are asked if

they have records available showing their costs for electricity (or gas) separate from other utilities. If they respond

‘‘yes,’’ they are asked the amount of their electric (or gas)

bill for the most recent recent months of January, April,

August, and December. These months are the best predictors of annual costs. On average, more than one-third of

respondents provide answers for at least 1 of the 4

months.

1. If the respondent provides data for only 1 month, the

following procedure is used. The data for the month

are adjusted using regression formulas to estimate

yearly costs that are then divided by 12. These formulas are derived from the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) sponsored by the U.S. Department

of Energy. These formulas take into account the following characteristics of the unit: the census division

where it is located, electric heat, electric water heating, natural gas heat, natural gas water heating, year

built, type of unit, number of rooms, number of bathrooms, number of appliances, and number of household members.

2. If the respondent provides data for 2, 3, or 4 months,

the second procedure is used. As with the first procedure, the monthly data are adjusted using regression

formulas, derived from the RECS data, to estimate

yearly costs that are then divided by 12. Because more

than 1 month’s worth of real costs are available, it is

rarely necessary to take into account detailed characteristics of the unit as is done in procedure one. (In

some cases where 2 months of data are provided,

detailed characteristics of the unit are taken into

account.)

3. If the respondent answers ‘‘no,’’ that he or she does

not have separate records for the electricity (or gas),

A-14 Appendix A

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
the respondent is asked to provide an estimate of the

average monthly costs. In this case, a procedure similar to the first is used. As in the case where 1 month

of billing data is provided, the reported monthly average is adjusted using regression formulas derived

from the RECS data, that take into account both the

reported amount of electricity charges and detailed

characteristics of the unit.

Finally, a factor is then applied to the electricity and

gas costs to benchmark them to RECS averages. A full

explanation of the formulas is in Appendix E of Codebook for the American Housing Survey, Volume 3.

Monthly expenses, additional help with.

Publications. Not applicable.

Microdata. Additional questions are asked of renters when

the ratio of monthly housing costs as percent of current

income is high. Rental households receiving housing assistance that report spending more than 35 percent of their

incomes on housing, or rental households not receiving

housing assistance with incomes less than $15,000 that

report spending more than 50 percent of their incomes on

housing were asked whether they received outside help to

meet monthly housing expense for food, clothing, car payments, public transportation, child care, medical care or

medicine, and utility bills. They were asked to specify the

type of help they received.

Monthly housing costs. The data are presented for

owner-occupied and renter-occupied housing units as well

as vacant-for-rent units.

Monthly housing costs for owner-occupied units include

the sum of monthly payments for all mortgages or installment loans or contracts, except reverse annuity mortgages and home equity lines of credit. Costs also include

real estate taxes (including taxes on manufactured/mobile

homes, and manufactured/mobile home sites if the site is

owned), property insurance, homeowner association fees,

cooperative or condominium fees, mobile home park fees,

land rent, and utilities. Costs do not include maintenance

and repairs, but see the definition ‘‘Median monthly housing costs for owners.’’

Monthly housing costs for renter-occupied housing units

include the contract rent, utilities, property insurance, and

mobile home park fee. Renter housing units occupied

without payment of cash rent are shown separately as ‘‘No

cash rent.’’ For rental units subsidized by a 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. The

figures do not adjust for lost security deposits or the benefit of free rent offered by some owners.

Monthly housing costs for vacant-for-rent housing units

include rent asked, but not utilities or other charges. The

category, Depends on income of the occupants, means the

rent charged will vary depending on the occupants’

income, such as in public housing or some military housing.

The term utilities here includes electricity, gas, fuels (oil,

coal, kerosene, or wood), water, sewage disposal, garbage

and trash collection, but not telephones or cable television. Utility costs are counted if they are paid by the occupant or by someone else, such as a relative, welfare

agency, or friend. They may be paid separately or included

in rent, condominium fee, or mobile home park fee, and

the AHS questions take care to avoid double-counting.

Specified owners and renters. In the publications, Table 19

of each chapter presents financial characteristics for these

groups that are comparable to the costs published before

1984. Medians for monthly housing costs are rounded to

the nearest dollar.

Monthly housing costs as percent of current

income.

Publications. The yearly housing costs (monthly housing

costs multiplied by 12) are expressed as a percentage of

the total current income (see the definition ‘‘Current

income’’). The percentage was computed separately for

each unit and rounded to the nearest percent, so 25 to 29

percent means 24.5 to 29.49 percent. The percentage was

not computed for units where occupants reported no

income, a net loss, or no cash rent. The category 100 percent or more counts units with housing costs exceeding

income. This situation may mean inaccurate income or

housing costs data, or true but temporary situations. For

most purposes, readers may wish to treat this line as

missing or unreliable data.

Microdata. Not applicable; may be calculated as needed.

Monthly payment for principal and interest. The data

present the monthly dollar amount paid on the mortgage

for principal and interest only. They do not include that

portion of the monthly payment used for property taxes,

homeowner’s insurance, and/or other charges. In the publications, medians for monthly payment for principal and

for interest are rounded to the nearest dollar.

Mortgage origination. Data are shown for owneroccupied units with one or more mortgages.

Placed new mortgages data are classified by the date the

new mortgage was obtained in relation to the date the

property was acquired.

An assumed mortgage indicates that the current owner

assumed the previous owner’s mortgage when the property was acquired and has not been refinanced.

A wrap-around mortgage is a mortgage with a face value

that encompasses the unpaid balance of the first mortgage(s), plus the amount of any new funds extended by

the wrap-around lender.

Appendix A A-15

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Combination of the above means that there was more than

one method of origination for the outstanding mortgages

on the property.

Mortgages currently on property.

Publications. The owner or the owner’s spouse was asked

the number of mortgages or similar loans (including home

equity loans) currently in effect on the home. Data are

shown for the number of units with the following mortgage categories: owned free and clear, reverse mortgages,

regular, and home equity.

A mortgage or similar debt refers to all forms of debt for

which the property is pledged as security for payment of

the debt. It includes such debt instruments as deeds of

trust, trust deeds, mortgage bonds, home-equity lines of

credit, home-equity lump-sum loans, and vendors’ liens. In

trust arrangements, usually a third party, known as the

trustee, holds the title to the property until the debt is

paid. In home-equity lines of credit, home-equity lumpsum loans, and vendors’ lien arrangements, 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.

‘‘Present and previous units,’’ ‘‘Reasons for leaving previous unit,’’ ‘‘Recent movers comparison to previous home,’’

‘‘Structure type of previous residence,’’ ‘‘Tenure of previous

unit,’’ and ‘‘Year householder moved into unit.’’

Neighborhood conditions and neighborhood services. The statistics are based on the respondent’s opinion. He or she may define the neighborhood as any size.

Some topics are collected by an open-ended question on

what, if anything, bothers the respondent about the neighborhood. Others come from questions about specific topics. The first three, and schools, have followup questions

about whether the problem bothers the respondent so

much he or she would like to move.

Street noise or heavy street traffic. Street noise refers to

noise in outdoor public areas made by children playing

outdoors, noise from a factory or business, or any other

sounds that the respondent considers to be street noise.

Traffic refers to the amount of vehicular traffic that the

respondent considers ‘‘heavy.’’

Neighborhood crime. This category refers to all forms of

street and neighborhood crime, such as petty theft,

assaults against the person, burglary, or any related activities that the respondent judges to be a crime.

Odors. This category refers to smoke, gas, or bad smells.

These three specific questions are followed by an openended question about what (else) bothers the respondent.

The category People includes such complaints as

unfriendly neighbors, noisy children, other races, or specific neighbors.

Public transportation. The respondent answers (1) if service is available; (2) if service is satisfactory; and (3) if any

member of the household uses the service at least once a

week.

Shopping. The respondent answers whether grocery stores

or drug stores were satisfactory and were within 1 mile of

the housing unit.

Police protection. The respondent was asked if police protection was satisfactory.

Elementary schools. The respondent was asked (1) if

young children in the household attended public school,

private school, preschool, or were schooled at home (does

not attend school before 1999); (2) if the public elementary school was satisfactory; (3) if it was so unsatisfactory

the respondent wanted to move; and (4) if the public

elementary school was within 1 mile of the housing unit.

‘‘Conditions of streets,’’ ‘‘Description of area within 300

feet,’’ ‘‘Educational attainment,’’ ‘‘Other buildings vandalized or within interior exposed,’’ ‘‘Overall opinion of neighborhood,’’ and ‘‘Trash, litter, or junk on streets or any

properties.’’

Noninterview.

Publications. Not applicable.

A-16 Appendix A

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Microdata. Noninterview cases are classified as Type A,

Type B, or Type C.

Type A noninterviews are units occupied by people eligible

for interview who were not interviewed. A noninterview

means that valuable information was lost and the sample

returns may not be representative of the population. It is

very important to keep noninterviews to a minimum. Type

A noninterview categories include (1) no one home; (2)

temporarily absent; (3) refused; (4) unable to locate; (5)

language problems; and (6) other occupied—specify.

Type B noninterviews are units not eligible for interview at

present, but which could become eligible for interviews in

the future. Type B noninterview categories include (1) permit granted, construction not started; (2) under construction, not ready; (3) permanent or temporary business or

commercial storage; (4) unoccupied site for mobile home

or tent; (5) other unit or converted to institutional unit; (6)

occupancy prohibited; (7) interior exposed to the elements; and (8) Type B, not classified.

Type C noninterviews are units ineligible for sample,

either because they no longer exist or because of sampling reasons. Type C noninterview categories include:

(1) demolished or disaster loss; (2) house or mobile home

moved; (3) unit eliminated in structural conversion; (4)

merged, not in current sample; (5) permit abandoned; (6)

Type C not classified elsewhere; and (7) unit eliminated in

subsampling.

Number of regular mortgages and home equity

mortgages. See the definition ‘‘Mortgages currently on

property.’’

Number of single children under 18 years old. See

the definition ‘‘Household composition.’’

Occupied housing units. A housing unit is classified as

occupied if there is at least one person who lives in the

unit as a usual resident at the time of the interview, or if

the occupants are only temporarily absent, for example,

on vacation. However, if the unit is occupied entirely by

people with a usual 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 activities on property. Data presented exclude

rental units. Property consists of one or more tracts of

land that the respondent considers to be the same property, farm, ranch, estate. The tracts may be adjoining or

they may be separated by a road, creek, or other piece of

land. For a condominium, this item refers to the sample

unit only.

Medical includes a doctor’s or dentist’s office regularly visited by patients.

Commercial establishment includes establishments

located in the same building as the sample unit or located

elsewhere on the property (such as grocery store, restaurant, gasoline station, and veterinary office). Those housing units that have no recognizable alterations to the outside of the house are not considered as having a

commercial establishment. A farm is not classified as a

commercial establishment.

Other buildings vandalized or with interior

exposed. The respondent was asked if there were any

vandalized or abandoned buildings within 300 feet of the

sample unit. A unit is counted as vandalized if it has most

of the visible windows broken, doors missing, has been

badly burned, has words or symbols printed on it, has portions of the roof missing, or in some other way has the

interior exposed to weather.

Other housing costs per month. A homeowner’s association fee (excludes condominium and cooperative fees)

is a fee charged for services such as upkeep of common

property, including painting hallways, cleaning lobbies,

mowing lawns, repairing laundry facilities, paving parking

areas, and repairing street lights. The fee may include the

use and maintenance of either indoor or outdoor swimming facilities or other recreational facilities (party rooms,

tennis courts, basketball courts, exercise rooms, and playground areas). Also the homeowner association fee can

include payments for security personnel such as security

guards or services such as telephone answering service,

maid service, or other domestic help.

Mobile home park fees are regular payments to the park

management that could include site rental, utility charges,

mail handling, and/or fees for the maintenance of common areas.

Aside from mobile homes (where site rent is covered in

mobile home park fees), in a few areas of the country,

occupants may own the unit, but not the land on which it

stands. Land rent refers to land that is rented or leased

from the land owner, and ‘‘ground rent’’ is paid. These

leases are for long periods of time (50-100 years) when

originated. The lease obligation transfers with the property and cannot be canceled.

The medians for other housing costs are rounded to the

nearest dollar.

Outside (P)MSAs. See the definition ‘‘Metropolitan

areas.’’

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.

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.

Appendix A A-17

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Owner or manager on property. For structures of two

or more units, these statistics show the number of rental

housing units with the owner or resident manager living

on the property.

Own never-married children under 18 years old. See

the definition ‘‘Household composition.’’

Parallel heating equipment. This is additional heating

equipment for an area not heated by the main heating

equipment.

Payment plans of primary and secondary mortgages. Data are presented separately for primary and secondary mortgages. The term ‘‘payment’’ refers to regular

principal and interest payments only, and not to payments

for real estate taxes and property insurance.

Fixed payment, self-amortizing mortgages have payments

that do not change during the term of the loan, with the

principal payments sufficient to pay off the loan completely within the stated term.

Adjustable rate mortgages have interest rates that could

be changed during the life of the mortgage, changing the

amount of the payments required.

In adjustable term mortgages the amount of the payment

stays constant, but the number of payments required to

pay off the loan can change over time as interest rates

change.

Graduated payment mortgages allow monthly payments

to change during the term of the mortgage by means

other than a change in interest rate. These mortgages

begin with lower payments that rise later in the life of the

mortgage.

Balloon mortgages are those in which only part or none of

the principal is paid off during the term of the loan (which

commonly is about 5 years). At the end of the term, the

principal is paid off in one lump sum, refinanced with a

new loan, or extended by renewal of the loan.

Percent of nonrefinanced primary mortgage, including home equity lump sum, used for home purchase

and improvement. This question is asked of homeowners who have a primary mortgage that is not a refinance

of a previous mortgage. These homeowners were asked

what percentage of this loan was used for the purchase of

the home or additions, improvements, or repairs to the

home.

Percent of primary mortgage refinanced cash used

for home additions, improvements, or repairs. This

question is asked of homeowners who reported ‘‘to

receive cash’’ as a reason for the refinance of their mortgage. These homeowners were asked what percentage

was used for additions, improvements, or repairs to the

home.

National publications and microdata. Not applicable.

Persons. See the definition ‘‘Household.’’

Persons other than spouse or children.

Publications. Data are shown for households with the following types of people:

Other relatives of householder. This category counts

households that include any person related to the householder by blood, marriage, or adoption, except spouse,

son, daughter, stepchild, or adopted child under 18 years

old (regardless of marital status).

Single adult offspring 18 to 29. This category counts

households with at least one member aged 18-29, if he or

she is not currently married (that is, they have never been

married or are divorced, separated or widowed), and is a

son, daughter, stepchild, or adopted child of the householder. Note this category has the same marital status categories as Single children under 18 years old, but the

same relationship to householder categories as Own

never-married children. These are defined under ‘‘Household Composition.’’

Single adult offspring 30 years of age or over. This category counts households with at least one member aged

30 or older, if he or she is not currently married (that is,

never been married or are divorced, separated or widowed), and is a son, daughter, stepchild, or adopted child

of the householder.

Households with three generations. For each person whose

parent lives in the household, the parent (biological, adoptive, or stepparent) is identified in the questionnaire. Each

person who is a child or grandchild of the householder is

also identified. These codes keep count of households

where the following live in the unit:

1. one or more sons, daughters, stepchildren or adopted

children of the householder or spouse (regardless of

marital status or age), and one or more parents of the

householder or spouse, or

2. one or more parents of the householder or spouse,

and one or more parents of these parents, or

3. one or more sons, daughters, stepchildren or adopted

children of the householder or spouse (regardless of

marital status or age), and one or more of these children’s children (grandchildren of the householder or

spouse, regardless of marital status or age).

Note that the definition of children is different from those

in ‘‘Single children under 18 years old,’’ and ‘‘Own nevermarried children.’’ The first does not involve relationship

to householder, and neither involve marital status and age.

Also note that if a household has more than three generations, it is still counted here. In addition to the three generations, there also may be other relatives in the household.

A-18 Appendix A

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Subfamily. A subfamily is one of the following groups that

do not include the householder or spouse, but are related

to the householder and live in the household: (1) a married couple (with or without children of any type), or (2)

one parent with one or more of his or her own nevermarried children under 18 years old. A common example

of a subfamily is a young married couple sharing the

home of the husband’s or wife’s parents.

Subfamily householder. For subfamilies that include a

couple, the husband is defined as the subfamily householder; for other subfamilies the parent is the householder.

Households with other types of relatives. This category

counts households with relatives of the householder, other

than the spouse, children, three generations, or subfamilies already counted. Therefore, it includes relatives such

as uncles, nieces, cousins, or grandchildren present without their parents. A household already counted in the

above-mentioned categories may be counted again, as

long as it has some additional relatives not counted

above.

Nonrelatives. A nonrelative of the householder is any person in the household who is not related to the householder by blood, marriage, or adoption. Roomers, boarders, lodgers, partners, resident employees, wards, and

foster children are included in this category.

Co-owners or co-renters. This category includes households for which the names of two or more unrelated

household members are on the deed of ownership, mortgage, land contract, contract to purchase or similar document, or lease; or, if there is no lease, two or more unrelated household members are responsible for paying the

rent.

Lodgers. This category is restricted to members of the

household who pay rent to another household member

and are 16 years or older; nonrelatives of the householder;

not sons, daughters, stepchildren, or adopted children of a

co-owner or co-renter; and not co-owners or co-renters

themselves. This item does not use the ‘‘lodger’’ answer

on relationship to the householder since it is less carefully

defined than the question on lodgers’ rent. See also the

definitions ‘‘Household’’ and ‘‘Rent paid by lodgers.’’

Unrelated children under 18 years old. This category

counts households with members under 18 years old who

are unrelated to the householder and are not co-owners,

co-renters, or lodgers, regardless of marital status. Thus it

includes foster children and children of lodgers and

employees as long as they are under 18.

Other nonrelatives. This category counts households with

nonrelatives of the householder who are not co-owners,

co-renters, lodgers, or under 18. For example, it includes

employees and housemates who do not pay a regular rent

as lodgers. It also may include households with nonrelatives counted in the categories below.

One or more secondary families. A secondary family is a

group of two or more people who are related to each

other by birth (Parent/child, child less than 18 years old),

marriage, or adoption, but who are not related to the

householder nor co-owner nor co-renter. The unrelated

secondary family may include people such as guests,

roomers, boarders, or resident employees and their relatives living in a household.

Two- to eight-person households, none related to each

other. None of the household members is related to any

other household member. They may be co-owners,

co-renters, lodgers, partners, employees, or foster children. The publications make no distinction between

housemates and unmarried partners because we do not

want the interviewers to probe into private relationships.

Microdata. Not applicable; may be calculated from household relationships.

See also the definition ‘‘Household composition.’’

Persons per room.

Publications. 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 people per room.

Microdata. Not applicable; may be calculated from household size and rooms.

Persons per bedroom. Persons per bedroom is computed for each occupied housing unit by dividing the number of people in the unit by the number of bedrooms in

the unit. The figures shown refer, therefore, to the number

of housing units having the specified ratio of people per

bedroom.

Microdata. Not applicable; may be calculated from household size and rooms.

Persons—previous residence. All people were counted

who lived at the previous residence at the time of the

move, as well as those who usually lived there but were

temporarily away. Persons who were staying there at the

time of move, but who had a usual residence elsewhere,

were not counted.

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 (and for the exclusive use of the unit, unless

there are two or more full bathrooms).

Appendix A A-19

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
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.

Electricity. 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 working 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 by 11 inches of peeling paint or

broken plaster; or (6) signs of rats in the last 90 days.

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 the definition ‘‘Flush

toilet and flush toilet breakdowns’’).

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

the primary heating equipment.

Kitchen. Lacking a kitchen sink, refrigerator, or cooking

equipment (stove, burners, or microwave oven) inside the

structure for the exclusive use of the unit.

Hallways. Having any three of the four problems listed

under ‘‘Physical problems—severe’’ under Hallways.

Upkeep. Having any three or four of the six problems

listed under ‘‘Physical problems—severe’’ under Upkeep.

See also the definitions ‘‘Bars on windows of buildings,’’

’’Common stairways,’’ ‘‘Equipment,’’ ‘‘External building conditions,’’ ‘‘Flush toilet and flush toilet breakdowns,’’ ‘‘Heating equipment and heating equipment breakdowns,’’

‘‘Overall opinion of structure,’’ ‘‘Primary source of water

and water supply stoppage,’’ ‘‘Water leakage during last 12

months,’’ ‘‘Selected deficiencies.’’

Place size.

National publications. The geographic variable place size,

as shown in national reports, shows the current count of

housing units in places as defined in the 1990 census.

Microdata and metropolitan publications. Not applicable.

See also the definition ‘‘Central cities’’ and ‘‘Urban and

rural residence.’’

Plumbing facilities. The category ‘‘With all plumbing

facilities’’ consists of housing units that have hot and cold

piped water as well as a flush toilet and a bathtub or

shower. For units with less than two full bathrooms, the

facilities are only counted if they are for the exclusive use

of the occupants of the unit. Plumbing facilities need not

be in the same room. Lacking some plumbing facilities or

having no plumbing facilities for exclusive use means that

the housing unit does not have all three specified plumbing facilities (hot and cold piped water, flush toilet, and

bathtub or shower) inside the housing unit, or that the toilet or bathing facilities are also for the use of the occupants of other housing units.

See also the definitions ‘‘Complete bathrooms,’’ ‘‘Flush toilet and flush toilet breakdowns,’’ and ‘‘Sewage disposal

and sewage disposal breakdowns.’’

Population in housing units.

Publications. Included are all people living in housing

units. Persons living in group quarters are excluded.

Microdata. Not applicable; can be calculated by adding

weight times household size, for all occupied units.

Poverty status. The poverty data differ from official poverty estimates in two important respects:

(1) Interest in housing affordability made it appropriate for

AHS to adopt a poverty definition based on household

income. The official method is based on the income of

families, and of individuals living without relatives. (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 one-person

poverty threshold. The result might be that both were in

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

and one was not. In the AHS publications, their poverty

status was determined by comparing their combined

income to the two-person poverty threshold.) The effect of

using household income is to count about 6 percent fewer

people in poverty than the official estimate. See the ‘‘Technical Paper X, Effect of Using a Poverty Definition Based On

Household Income,’’ U.S. Department of Health, Education,

and Welfare, 1976.

(2) The official poverty estimates are based on the Annual

Social and Economic Supplement to the Current Population

Survey. Income questions in that survey are very detailed,

and measure income received during the previous calendar year. Income questions in the AHS are much less

detailed, and measure income received during the 12

months just before the interview. Because interviews were

conducted over several months, the AHS income measures

do not pertain to a fixed period.

The poverty thresholds are based on the Department of

Agriculture’s 1961 Economy Food Plan and reflect different

consumption requirements by number of adults and children. They consider only money income (see the definition

A-20 Appendix A

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
‘‘Income’’), not assets or benefits in kind, such as housing

subsidies. The poverty thresholds are updated every year

to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The

official thresholds are below in Table A-1.

Note that in the official poverty thresholds, elderly are

expected to need less than nonelderly in the one- to twoperson groups. Also note that an all-adult household is

expected to need less than the same size household

where one member is a child, but if additional members

are children, costs go down again.

These official poverty thresholds are different from the

poverty guidelines published for program purposes by the

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on

February 18, 2005, Federal Register, Volume 70, number

33, page 8,373 to 8,375. (Guidelines are 13.1 percent

higher in Hawaii, and 20.1 percent higher in Alaska than

shown above.)

The HUD ‘‘very low income limits’’ (the L50 series) for fourperson households are 50 percent of median family

income for families in each metropolitan area or nonmetropolitan county. The HUD income limits vary among

areas, and the average national HUD income limits in 2003

are shown (local details are at <www.huduser.org/data

/factors.html>.

The HUD adjustments for household size in the L50 series

are very roughly based on national average differences in

housing cost. The HUD limits have smaller adjustments

than the official and HHS poverty thresholds, which are

based on food cost. Housing cost does not vary as much

as food does between small and large households. Academic research suggests even the HUD adjustments may

be too large; see van Praag, ‘‘The Relativity of the Welfare

Concept,’’ in Nussbaum and Sen, Quality of Life, Oxford

University Press, 1993, page 374, which suggests 6 percent adjustments per person instead of HUD’s 10 percent

and 8 percent adjustments.

Microdata. Not applicable; may be calculated by comparing current or past income to the thresholds.

Present and previous units. The present unit is the one

occupied by the householder or respondent at the time of

the interview. The previous unit is the one from which the

householder or respondent moved. If the householder or

respondent moved more than once during the 12 months

prior to the date of the interview, the previous unit is the

one last moved from.

Previous home owned or rented by someone who

moved here.

Publications. These data are shown for units where the

householder moved within the United States during the

past year.

Microdata. Data are shown for units where anyone in the

present household moved within the United States during

the past year.

Previous occupancy. The statistics presented are

restricted to housing units built in 1990 or later. ‘‘Previously occupied’’ indicates that someone or people not now

in the household occupied the housing unit prior to the

Appendix A A-21

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
householder or other related household members’ occupancy. ‘‘Not previously occupied’’ indicates that either the

householder or some other current household member

was the first occupant of the housing unit.

Primary metropolitan statistical areas. See the definition ‘‘Metropolitan areas.’’

Primary mortgage. Detailed information on regular and

lump-sum home-equity mortgages was collected in the

AHS on the first three mortgages reported, even if the unit

had four or more mortgages. If the owner(s) had both a

regular and a lump-sum home-equity mortgage, priority

was given to the regular mortgage(s) for collecting

detailed information. On the basis of this information, one

of the mortgages was considered to be primary. The definition of the primary mortgage may not agree with legal

definitions of a ‘‘first mortgage,’’ which would be paid first

after a foreclosure.

If there is only one mortgage, it is primary. If two or more

mortgages exist, the following hierarchy was used:

(1) regular mortgage (as opposed to a lump-sum homeequity loan), (2) Federal Housing Administration (FHA),

Veterans Administration (VA), or Rural Housing

Service/Rural Development (RHS/RD) mortgage; (3)

assumed mortgage; (4) mortgage obtained first; and

(5) largest initial amount borrowed.

Primary source of water and water supply stoppage. A public system or private company refers to any

source supplying running water to six or more housing

units. The water may be supplied by a city, county, water

district, or private water company, or it may be obtained

from a well that supplies six or more housing units. An

individual well that provides water for five or fewer housing units is further classified by whether it is drilled or

dug. Water sources such as springs, cisterns, streams,

lakes, or commercial bottled water are included in the

other category.

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 also are classified according to the number of times the stoppages

occurred.

Principal. Principal is the amount of money raised by a

mortgage or other loan, as distinct from the interest paid

for its use. It is the amount of debt excluding interest. See

the definition ‘‘Total outstanding principal amount.’’

Private mortgage insurance. Private mortgage insurance is insurance that a lender (such as PMI or GMAC) generally requires a home buyer to obtain if the down payment made by the home buyer is below a certain

percentage (often 20 percent down payment for conventional loans).

Problems. See the definitions ‘‘Neighborhood conditions

and neighborhood services,’’ ‘‘Physical problems,’’ and

‘‘Poverty status.’’

Property insurance. This item refers to insurance on the

structure and/or its contents (such as furniture, appliances, or clothing) and usually contains some liability

insurance. Renters usually do not have property insurance,

but its cost is counted if they do have it. The total cost is

the most recent yearly cost for which the occupants have

actually been billed. Yearly cost was divided by 12 before

calculating a monthly median cost. Medians for property

insurance are rounded to the nearest dollar.

Public elementary school. See the definitions ‘‘Educational attainment’’ and ‘‘Neighborhood conditions and

neighborhood services.’’

Purchase price. The 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. In the publications, the median purchase price

is rounded to the nearest dollar.

Quality. See the definitions ‘‘Neighborhood conditions

and neighborhood services,’’ ‘‘Physical problems,’’

‘‘Selected amenities,’’ and ‘‘Selected deficiencies.’’

Questionnaire. Computer-Assisted Interviewing (CAI)

was introduced in 1997, eliminating paper questionnaires.

See the topic ‘‘Computer assisted interviewing’’ in Appendix C. A copy of the questions used in the laptop can be

obtained in Volume 3 of the Codebook for the American

Housing Survey. For copies, call HUD User at 800-245-

2691 or the American Housing Survey at 301-763-3235.

Race and origin. In the publications, 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 is determined on the basis of a

question that asked for self-identification of a person’s

race. For respondents who refused to answer, the interviewer decided on a race only for people she or he saw;

others are imputed by computer.

A-22 Appendix A

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Hispanic is considered an ethnic origin rather than a race

and is tallied separately. Most Hispanics report themselves

as White, but some report themselves as Black or other

categories. Figures are given for race and ethnicity in

Table 2-1.

Revisions to the OMB Statistical Policy Directive 15 designate five races (White, Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian or

other Pacific Islander) and two ethnic origins (Hispanic or

Latino and non-Hispanic or Latino). In 2003, the AHS

adopted the new terminology.

The question on race using the new terminology included

a list of six race categories. If the race of a respondent did

not match the five specific races, then the respondent

would select the category ‘‘Some other race.’’ Respondents

answering ‘‘Some other race’’ had their answer changed

(allocated) to one of the other five categories. The six race

categories include:

• White

• Black or African American

• American Indian and Alaska Native

• Asian

• Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander

• Some other race

People who responded to the question on race by indicating only one race are referred to as the race alone population, or the group who reported only one race. For

example, respondents who marked only the White category would be included in the White alone population.

Individuals who chose more than one of the six race categories are referred to as the Two or more races population, or as the group who reported more than one race.

For example, respondents who reported they were White

and Black or African American, or White and American

Indian or Alaska Native and Asian 1 would be included in

the Two or more races category.

Ratio of loan to value. See the definition ‘‘Current total

loan as percent of value.’’

Ratio of value to current income.

Publications. The ratio of value to current income is computed by dividing the value of the housing unit by the

total current (family) income (see the definition ‘‘Current

income’’). The ratio is computed separately for each housing unit and is rounded to the nearest tenth. For value and

current income, the dollar amounts are used. Units occupied by individuals who reported no income or a net loss

compose the category zero or negative income. Medians

for the ratio of value to current income are rounded to the

nearest tenth.

Microdata. Not applicable; can be calculated from value

and income.

Real estate taxes. This item includes special assessments, school taxes, county taxes, and any other real

estate taxes. Excluded are payments on delinquent taxes

due from prior years. Rebates are subtracted from the

total. When the real estate taxes are included with the

mortgage, a separate amount for the taxes is obtained. To

determine average monthly cost, yearly cost was divided

by 12. In the publications, medians for real estate taxes

are rounded to the nearest dollar.

Reason primary mortgage refinanced. If the current

primary mortgage was a regular mortgage (not a lumpsum home-equity loan) and was not an assumed or wraparound mortgage, the respondent was asked if it was a

refinancing of a previous mortgage and the reason for the

refinancing.

Reasons for leaving previous unit publications.

These data are shown for units where the respondent

moved during the 12 months before the interview. The

distribution may not add to the total because the respondent was not limited to one reason.

Private displacement includes situations in which a private

company or person wanted to use the housing unit for

some other purpose; for example, to develop the land or

building commercially, to occupy the unit, to convert the

unit to a condominium or cooperative, or to make repairs

and renovate the unit.

Government displacement means the respondent was

forced to leave by the government (local, state, or federal)

because it wanted to use the land for other purposes; for

example, to build a road or highway, for urban renewal or

other public activity, because the building was condemned, or some other reason.

Disaster loss includes damage by a tornado, storm, flood,

earthquake, fire, landslide, or other similar occurrences.

New job or job transfer indicates that the respondent

moved to begin a new job or was transferred from the previous location to the present location.

To be closer to work/school/other means that the respondent moved because commuting was too far and respondent wanted to live closer to work, school, or some other

commuting purpose.

Other, financial/employment related refers to financial or

employment related reasons, such as wanting to look for a

new or different job, because the person entered or left

the U.S. Armed Forces, retired, or some other

financial/employment reason.

1 The race in combination categories are denoted by quotations around the combinations with the conjunction and in bold

and italicized print to indicated the separate races that comprise

the combination.

Appendix A A-23

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
To establish own household means that the respondent left

a previous residence, such as parent’s home, rooming or

boarding house, or shared apartment, to establish own

household.

Needed larger house or apartment refers to moves that

were necessary because of crowding or for aesthetic reasons.

Married, widowed, divorced, or separated is marked if the

respondent moved because of marital reasons.

Other, family/personal related indicates that the respondent moved because of family or personal reasons such as

wanting to live closer to relatives.

Wanted better home was marked if the respondent moved

because the previous residence was too old, run-down, in

need of too many repairs or if there was nothing wrong

with the previous home, the respondent simply wanted to

move to a better one.

Change from owner to renter, or change from renter to

owner indicates a change in tenure.

Wanted lower rent or less expensive maintenance indicates

that the respondent moved because the rent (or mortgage)

payments were too high at the previous residence or that

the taxes or upkeep was too high.

Other housing related reasons includes such reasons as

respondent wanted larger yard, different zoning, or

wanted a better investment.

Other includes examples such as respondent wanted a

change in climate, neighborhood crime problem, racial or

ethnic composition of neighborhood.

See also the definitions ‘‘Choice of present home and

home search’’ and ‘‘Choice of present neighborhood and

neighborhood search.’’

Microdata. These data are shown for units in which the

respondent moved during the 24 months before the interview.

Recent mover publications. Data for recent movers

who moved in the 12 months prior to interview are shown

for two categories of movers: (1) units where the householder moved into the present unit during the 12 months

prior to the interview (shown as a column in most tables,

and in Table 10 of each chapter), and (2) units where the

respondent moved into the present housing unit during

the 12 months prior to the interview (Table 11 of each

chapter). In most cases, the two groups represent the

same households.

Microdata also show moves of other household members

during the 24 months prior to the interview.

Recent mover comparison to previous home. This

item is based on the respondent’s comparison between

the present unit and previous unit as to which was better.

Recent mover comparison to previous neighborhood. This item is based on the respondent’s comparison

between the present neighborhood and the previous

neighborhood as to which was better. The definition of

neighborhood is whatever the respondent considers it to

be.

Regions. States and the District of Columbia 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, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona,

Utah, Idaho, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California, and Hawaii.

Remaining years mortgaged. The owner or owner’s

spouse was asked the length of time it would take to pay

off the loan at the current payments. The response reflects

the amortization schedule. For example, in many balloon

mortgages the initial monthly payments are calculated to

pay off the loan in 30 years, though the mortgage is due

in 5 years, and the 60th payment is very large. Such a

mortgage would count here as 30 years, not 5 years,

minus whatever number of years have passed. In the publications, medians for remaining years mortgaged are

rounded to the nearest year.

Rent. See ‘‘Monthly housing costs.’’

Rent paid by lodgers. This item refers to regular, fixed

rent: a set amount of money, billed or charged, which is

paid at regular intervals by a lodger (usually weekly or

monthly) to a member of the household. This category is

restricted to lodgers who are 16 years and older, nonrelatives of the householder, and people who are not spouses

of a co-owner or co-renter, not children of a co-owner or

co-renter, and not co-owners or co-renters themselves.

Medians for rent paid by lodgers are rounded to the nearest dollar.

Rent reductions.

Rent control means that increases in rent are limited by

state or local law. The jurisdiction, state or local agency,

mandates that rent increases may not exceed some level,

or must be approved by the government. This category

does not include limits that HUD puts on all rental projects

insured by the Federal Housing Administration.

A-24 Appendix A

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Owned by a public housing authority means the unit is

owned by any local or state government agency, and operated as public housing. These organizations may receive

subsidies from the federal or state government, but the

local agency owns the property.

Government subsidy means the household pays a lower

rent because a federal, state, or local government program

pays part of the cost of construction, mortgage, or operating expenses. These programs include rental assistance

programs where part of the rent for low-income families is

paid by HUD, and direct loan programs of HUD and the

Department of Agriculture for reduced cost housing. Units

requiring income verification are usually subsidized. Many

households in these programs apply through the public

housing authority and misreport themselves in public

housing. Others do not think of their units as subsidized

and misreport themselves as unsubsidized.

Subsidies for homeowners, including HUD subsidies for

cooperatives, are not counted, since the questions are

asked only of renters.

Other income verification means that the occupants are

asked questions about their income when their lease is up

for renewal, but they were unable to identify what type of

rent reduction they received, if any.

Renter maintenance quality. Renters were asked their

opinions of owners’ response time and if owners were

polite and considerate for maintenance and repairs of

major and minor problems. The definition of a major or

minor problem was left up to the discretion of the respondent. Satisfaction was measured by the following choices:

‘‘usually,’’ ‘‘not usually,’’ ‘‘very mixed,’’ ‘‘haven’t needed

any,’’ and ‘‘landlord not responsible for maintenance.’’

When problems occurred, renters were asked if problems

were solved quickly once repairs started.

Alterations and replacements.

Publications. Not available.

Microdata. The statistics refer to within 2 years prior to

the interview and are restricted to owner-occupied units.

The respondents were first asked if, in the last 2 years, a

major disaster, such as an earthquake, tornado, hurricane,

landslide, fire, or flood, required them to make extensive

repairs to their homes. Replacements and additions were

counted as disaster-required repairs only if the damage

involved at least 2 rooms or a majority of the home.

Respondents were asked to name major repairs made

within the last 2 years. Also, they were asked if the repair

was a replacement or an addition, if someone in the

household did the work, and the cost of the repair.

The microdata file shows the total number of

replacements/additions reported by all households, and

the total cost of these replacements/additions. Each

household could name as many as 74 jobs done in their

home.

Questions were asked about where the work was done, if

any rooms were created or attached, and if the bathroom

or kitchen had been remodeled within the last 2 years.

Respondents also were asked if they added or replaced

their roofs, siding, interior water pipes; electrical wiring,

fuse boxes, or breaker switches; doors or windows;

plumbing fixtures such as sinks or bath tubs; insulation;

wall-to-wall carpeting, flooring; paneling or ceiling tiles;

air conditioning; built-in heating equipment; septic tanks;

water heaters; dishwashers, garbage disposals; driveways

or walkways; fencing or walls; patios, terraces, or

detached decks; swimming pools, tennis courts, and other

recreational structures; sheds, detached garages, or other

buildings.

The microdata file also includes information about

whether the household got a low interest loan or grant to

pay for repairs and the amount spent in a typical year on

routine repairs and maintenance.

Reverse annuity mortgages. These were defined to the

respondent as ‘‘reverse annuity mortgage or home equity

conversion mortgage.’’ These mortgages involve borrowing against home equity for retirement or income and

sometimes do not need to be repaid until after the owner’s

death.

Rooms. The respondent was asked to report all rooms in

the housing unit. The interviewer then coded the

responses into different categories. 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

rooms. Also included are rooms used for offices by a person living in the unit.

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

must be separated from adjoining rooms by built-in archways or walls that extend at least 6 inches from an intersecting wall. Half walls or bookcases count if built-in.

Movable or collapsible partitions or partitions consisting

solely of shelves or cabinets are not considered built-in

walls.

Bathrooms, laundry rooms, utility rooms, pantries, and

unfinished rooms are not counted as rooms.

Rooms used for business. A room used for business is

set up for use as an office or business for a business

owner, contract worker, self-employed person, commercial

use (such as daycare or catering), or regular job.

The question asked if rooms were exclusively used for

business space. Follow-up questions asked if there were

direct access to the outside without going through any

other room and whether the space was used both as business space and for personal use. See also the definition

‘‘Other activities on property.’’

Appendix A A-25

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Routine maintenance in last year. Routine maintenance consists of regular maintenance activities necessary

for the preventive care of the structure, property and fixed

equipment items. Included are such things as painting;

papering; floor sanding; restoring of shingles; fixing water

pipes; replacing parts of large equipment, such as a furnace; repairing fences, gutters, sidewalks, decks or patios;

removing dangerous trees; or termite inspection. Housecleaning is not included. Routine maintenance does not

include work reported under the section on repairs,

improvements, and alterations. Medians for routine maintenance are rounded to the nearest dollar.

Rural. See the definition ‘‘Urban and rural residence.’’

Safety of primary source of water. Water was considered safe (consumable or potable) if the main water source

was used or could be used for drinking. The respondent

was not asked what source was used by the household for

drinking, but whether or not the main water source was

safe for cooking and drinking. This item excludes units

where the primary source of household water was commercial bottled water.

Sample size. The sample size is the unweighted count of

the actual sample cases. See Appendix B for an explanation of sample design.

Savings. See the definition ‘‘Amount of savings and

investments.’’

Schools. See the definitions ‘‘Educational attainment’’ and

‘‘Neighborhood conditions and neighborhood services.’’

Seasonal units. See the definition ‘‘Vacancy, seasonality.’’

Secured communities. These types of communities are

typically residential communities in which public access

by nonresidents is restricted, usually by physical boundaries, such as gates, walls, and fences, or through private

security. These communities exist in a myriad of locations

and development types, including high-rise apartment

complexes, retirement developments, and resort and

country club communities.

Secured multiunits. Secured multiunits refer to one or

more multiunit buildings that require some sort of special

entry procedure, such as entry codes, key cards, or security guard appproval for access. This also includes intercom systems where the occupants can identify and

buzz-in visitors.

Selected amenities.

Porch, deck, balcony, or patio is counted if it is attached to

the sample unit, not just to the building, or free standing.

Porches may be enclosed or open. The porch, deck, balcony, or patio is only counted if it is at least 4 feet by 4

feet.

Usable fireplace excludes the following: fireplaces that

have been blocked off or whose chimney or flue has been

filled, decorative or artificial fireplaces and wood stoves,

even if shaped like a fireplace. Free-standing fireplaces are

included in this item.

Separate dining room is an area separated from adjoining

rooms by archways or walls that extend at least 6 inches

from an intersecting wall. See the definition ‘‘Rooms.’’

Living rooms, recreation rooms, etc. Includes family

rooms, dens, recreation rooms, and/or libraries.

Garage or carport is only counted if it is on the same

property, though not necessarily attached to the house.

Off-street parking includes driveway or parking lot privileges that are paid for as part of the rent or owned with

the unit. Data on garage or carport are not collected for

occasional-use vacant units and other vacant units.

See also the definition ‘‘Overall opinion of structure.’’

Selected deficiencies.

Signs of mice or rats refer to respondents who reported

seeing mice or rats or signs of mice or rats inside the

house or building during the 3 months prior to interview

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

months. Signs of mice or rats include droppings, holes in

the wall, or ripped or torn food containers.

Holes in floors are in the interior floors of the unit. The

holes may or may not go all the way through to a lower

floor or to the exterior of the unit. The holes are only

counted if large enough for someone to trip in.

Open cracks or holes (interior) are in the 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, are not counted. Very small

holes caused by nails or other similar objects are also not

counted.

Broken plaster or peeling paint (interior) are 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.

Exposed wiring is any wiring that is not enclosed, either in

the walls or in metal or plastic coverings. Excluded are

appliance cords, extension cords, chandelier cords, and

telephone, antenna, or cable television wires.

Rooms without electric wall outlets. are rooms without at

least one working electric wall outlet. A working electric

wall outlet is one that is in operating condition; that is, it

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.

A-26 Appendix A

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Selected subareas. Publications for three of the largest

central cities and/or counties in each metropolitan area

are shown in Chapters 2 through 6 of the metropolitan

publications under the boxhead column ‘‘selected subareas.’’ For a list of the selected subareas in each metropolitan area, see the inside back cover of the metropolitan

publications.

Selected geographic areas. Data for each county and

independent city (in certain states) for which it was estimated that 100 or more interviews occurred are shown in

the stub item ‘‘selected geographic areas’’ in Table 2-1 of

the metropolitan publications.

Senior citizen communities. These communities are

age-restricted, meaning that at least one member of the

family must be at least 55 years old or older.

Means of sewage disposal. A public sewer is connected

to a city, county, sanitary district, neighborhood, or subdivision sewer system, serving six or more units. 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.

Sewage disposal breakdowns 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.

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 also are classified

according to the number of breakdowns.

Sharing. See the definitions ‘‘Cost and ownership sharing’’ and ‘‘ Time sharing.’’

Single children under 18 years old. See the definition

‘‘Household composition.’’

Site placement. This item is collected for

manufactured/mobile homes. ‘‘Site’’ refers to location

(other than the manufacturer’s or dealer’s lot) and not necessarily a manufactured/mobile home park site. The

manufactured/mobile home does not have to be occupied

at each site, as long as it is set up for occupancy.

Source of drinking water. The statistics are restricted to

units where the respondent answered that the primary

source of drinking water was not safe to drink. Units

where the primary source of water is commercial bottled

water are excluded. See the definition ‘‘Primary source of

water.’’

Specified owner and renters. See the definition

‘‘Monthly housing costs.’’

Square feet per person.

Publications. Square feet per person is computed for each

single-family, detached housing unit and mobile home by

dividing the square footage of the unit by the number of

people in the unit. The figures refer to the number of

housing units having the specified square feet per person.

Median square footage is rounded to the nearest foot.

Microdata. Not applicable.

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 weather (such as 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.

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-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 are presented for all

housing units, except for mobile homes. Any basement is

included, whether finished or not. Finished attics also are

included; 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.

Structure type of previous residence. These data are

shown for householders who moved within the United

States during the previous 12 months. They are based on

the respondent’s classification.

Subsidies. See the definition ‘‘Rent reductions.’’

Suburbs. Suburbs are defined in the AHS as the portion

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

See also the definitions ‘‘Central cities’’ and ‘‘Metropolitan

areas.’’

Suitability for year-round use. See the definition

‘‘Vacancy, seasonality.’’

Supplemental heating equipment. Additional heating

equipment for a heated area of the housing unit.

Taxes. See the definitions ‘‘Annual taxes paid per $1,000

value’’ and ‘‘Real estate taxes.’’

Tenure. Any housing unit is owner occupied (including a

cooperative or condominium unit) if someone whose

name is on the deed, mortgage, or contract to purchase

Appendix A A-27

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
lives in the unit. Units where the elderly ‘‘buy’’ a unit to

live in for the remainder of their lives, after which it

reverts to the seller, are considered owner occupied.

All other occupied housing units are classified as renter

occupied units, including units rented for cash, if occupants or others pay some rent, and/or occupied without

payment of cash rent, such as a life tenancy or a unit that

comes free with a job. Households who do not pay cash

rent may still pay utilities.

Tenure of previous unit. These data are shown for

householders who moved within the United States during

the 12 months prior to the interview. The previous unit

was owner occupied if the owner or co-owner lived in the

unit. All other previous units were renter occupied.

Term of primary mortgage at origination or

assumption. The term is the number of years from the

date the present owner-occupants first obtained the

present mortgage to the date the last payment is due

according to the terms of the contract. On a balloon mortgage this term may be short, and the last payment very

large. In the publications, medians for term of primary

mortgage are rounded to the nearest year.

Time sharing. This item is restricted to vacant housing

units, including units temporarily occupied by people who

have usual residences elsewhere. Time sharing is a form

of ownership in which a single property is owned by multiple owners. Each is entitled to occupy the unit for a limited period of time. The number of years of ownership

may vary depending on the terms of the contract. Participants in time-sharing ownership usually, but not always,

receive a deed of ownership.

Total home equity line-of-credit limit. Total homeequity line-of-credit limit is a mortgage loan that is usually

in a subordinate position and allows the property owner to

obtain multiple advances of the loan proceeds at the borrower’s discretion, up to an amount that represents a

specified percentage of the borrower’s equity in a property. This line-of-credit allows the property owner to borrow against the equity in the home from time to time without reapplying for a loan.

Total outstanding line-of-credit loans. The total outstanding line-of-credit loan is the current balance on the

home equity line-of-credit. The current balance is usually

reported on the monthly or quarterly statement.

Total outstanding principal amount.

Publications. The statistics represent the total amount of

principal that would have to be paid if the loans were paid

off in full on the date of interview. The formula used to

calculate the outstanding principal amount does not take

into account the fact that some households make additional principal payments. The resulting data, therefore,

may be an overestimate of the total outstanding principal.

In the publications, medians for outstanding principal

amount are rounded to the nearest dollar. The data include

all regular mortgages and lump sum home equity, but

exclude line-of-credit home equity loans.

Microdata. Not applicable.

Trash, litter, or junk on streets or any properties.

The respondent was asked if there was trash, litter, or junk

in the streets, roads, empty lots, or on any properties

within 300 feet of the building. Major accumulation

includes tires, appliances, or large amounts of trash accumulated over a period of time. Minor accumulation

includes small amounts of paper, cans, or bottles that do

not give the impression of long neglect. The property on

which the sample unit is located is included.

Trucks. See the definition ‘‘Cars and trucks available.’’

Type of primary mortgage. The federal government

agencies that currently insure or guarantee mortgages or

similar debts include the Federal Housing Administration

(FHA), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and Rural

Housing Service/Rural Development (RHS/RD). Mortgage

insurance is a promise to pay the lender’s losses in case

the borrower fails to keep up the required mortgage payments and defaults on the loan. Such insurance protection

is offered by the Government, acting as an insurance

agent, and by private mortgage insurance companies.

Mortgage loans that are not insured or guaranteed by

these government agencies are referred to as ‘‘conventional’’ mortgages. Conventional mortgages, including

mortgages insured or guaranteed by state or local governments, are shown as ‘‘Other types.’’

Types of mortgages. See the definition ‘‘Mortgages currently on property.’’

Units. See the definitions ‘‘Housing unit,’’ ‘‘Occupied housing units,’’ and ‘‘Vacancy, seasonality.’’

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

counted. The statistics are presented for the number of

housing units, not the number of residential structures. A

structure either has 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, if it has open space on all four

sides; or attached, if it has unbroken walls extending from

ground to roof that divide it from other adjoining structures, as in many rowhouses or townhouses. If a unit

shares a furnace or boiler with adjoining units, then the

walls are pierced by pipes or ducts, and all the units thus

joined are included in one structure.

Manufactured/mobile homes are shown as a separate category (see the definition ‘‘Manufactured/mobile homes’’).

A-28 Appendix A

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Urban and rural residence. As defined for the 1980 and

1990 censuses, urban housing comprises all housing

units (a) in urbanized areas and (b) in places (see the definition ‘‘Place size’’) of 2,500 or more inhabitants outside

urbanized areas, but excluding housing units in the rural

portions of extended cities.

Housing units not classified as urban are rural housing.

Urbanized areas. In the 1980 and 1990 censuses, each

urbanized area comprised an incorporated place and adjacent densely settled area (1.6 or more people per acre, or

1,000 or more people per square mile) that together had

at least 50,000 population. It also included some less

dense adjacent land such as industrial parks and golf

courses inside city limits.

More information on urbanized areas and the historical

development of the urban-rural definition appears in the

1980 Census of Population reports, Characteristics of the

Population, Number of Inhabitants, PC80-1-A, and the

1990 Census of Housing reports, General Housing Characteristics, CH-1-1.

Utilities. See the definition ‘‘Monthly costs for electricity

and gas.’’

Vacancy, seasonality. A housing unit is vacant if no one

is living in it at the time of the interview, unless its occupants are only temporarily absent. In addition, housing

units where all the occupants have a usual residence elsewhere are grouped with vacant units.

Year-round housing units. This includes all units occupied

as a usual residence, regardless of design, and all vacant

units that are intended by the owner for occupancy at all

times of the year. For example, if a unit in a resort area is

intended for occupancy in all seasons, it is a year-round

unit.

For rent. Owners of some units offer them for rent. Other

owners solicit offers either for rent or for sale. When separate categories for these are not shown, they are both

included in for rent, as in the rental vacancy rate.

Rental vacancy rate. The rental vacancy rate is the number

of vacant year-round units for rent as a percent of the total

rental inventory; i.e., all renter-occupied housing units and

all year-round vacant housing units for rent or rented, not

occupied.

For sale only. Units ‘‘for sale only’’ are offered for sale and

the owner does not solicit renter-occupants, even though

the owner might eventually rent the unit.

Rented or sold. If any money rent has been paid or agreed

upon, but the new renter has not moved in as of the date

of the interview, or if the unit has recently been sold, but

the new owner has not yet moved in, the unit is classified

as rented or sold.

Occasional use. These are units held for weekend or other

occasional use throughout the year. Second homes may be

classified here or as seasonal.

URE. These are temporarily occupied by people with a

Usual Residence Elsewhere. If all people in a housing unit

usually live elsewhere, the unit is classified as vacant. For

example, a beach cottage occupied at the time of the

interview by a family who has a usual residence in the city

is included in the count of vacant units. The home in the

city or the home of a comparable vacationing family also

could be in the AHS sample and would be reported as

occupied, since the occupants are only temporarily

absent. URE units also may be classified in any of the

vacancy categories: seasonal or for sale.

Other vacant. This category includes units held for settlement of an estate, units held for occupancy by a caretaker

or janitor, and units held for personal reasons of the

owner.

Seasonal units are intended by the owner to be occupied

during only certain seasons of the year. They are not anyone’s usual residence. A seasonal unit may be used in

more than one season; for example, for both summer and

winter sports. Published counts of seasonal units also

include housing units held for occupancy by migratory

farm workers. While not currently intended for year-round

use, most seasonal units could be used year-round; see

the next definition.

Suitability for year-round use. For vacant housing units

that are not intended by their current owners for yearround use (seasonal and migratory), the respondent was

asked whether the construction and heating of the housing unit made it suitable for the unit to be occupied on a

year-round basis. A housing unit is suitable for year-round

use if it is built as a permanent structure, properly

equipped, insulated, and heated as necessitated by the

climate.

Time sharing. This item is restricted to vacant housing

units, including units temporarily occupied by people who

have usual residences elsewhere. Time sharing is a form

of ownership in which a single property is owned by multiple owners. Each is entitled to occupy the unit for a limited period of time. The number of years of ownership

may vary depending on the terms of the contract. Participants in time-sharing ownership usually, but not always,

receive a deed of ownership.

Duration of vacancy refers to the length of time (in

months) from the date the last occupants moved from the

housing unit to the date of the interview. The data, therefore, do not provide a direct measure of the total length of

time that units remain vacant. For newly constructed units

that have never been occupied, the duration of vacancy is

counted from the date construction was completed. For

recently converted or merged units, the time is reported

from the date that conversion or merger was completed.

Appendix A A-29

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Last used as a permanent residence. The statistics refer to

the length of time (in months) since units that are currently seasonal vacant were last used as a permanent residence, and are measured as of the date of interview. Units

that have always been used for short-term or seasonal

occupancy are classified as Never occupied as permanent

home.

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, any

rental units, and land cost of mobile homes, are excluded

from the value. For vacant units, value represents the

sales price asked for the property at the time of the interview, and may differ from the price at which the property

is sold. In the publications, medians for value are rounded

to the nearest dollar.

See also the definition ‘‘Ratio of value to current income.’’

Water. See the definitions ‘‘Plumbing facilities,’’ ‘‘Primary

source of water and water supply stoppage,’’ ‘‘Safety of

primary source of water,’’ and ‘‘Source of drinking water.’’

Water leakage during last 12 months. Data on water

leakage are shown if the leakage occurred in the 12

months prior to the interview or while the household was

living in the unit if less than 12 months. Housing units

with water leakage are classified by whether the water

leaked in from outside the building, and by the most common areas (roof, basement, walls, closed windows, or

doors); or inside the building and the reasons of water

leakage (fixtures backed up or overflowed or pipes

leaked).

Work. See the definitions ‘‘Income’’ and ‘‘Journey to work.’’

Worked at home last week. This question determines

who is working out of the office. This can include telecommuters (a company employee who works from home fullor part-time during normal business hours), real estate

salesperson, and any person who works at home on a

regular job.

Worked at home last week for householder. This

question determines who in the household worked for the

householder last week. The person need not be related to

the householder. The time worked may have been parttime, even 1 or 2 hours last week. It includes baby-sitting

for pay, helping out in a family store or family farm, and

similar work. Excluded is the person’s own housework or

odd jobs around the house (painting the porch, cutting

grass, etc.); unpaid babysitting for family, relatives, or

friends; and unpaid volunteer work for a church, etc. Work

done by residents of an institution is not considered work

for the purpose of this survey. The time period covered is

the full calendar week, from Sunday through Saturday, preceding the date the interview is completed.

Year householder immigrated to the United States.

See the definition ‘‘Citizenship.’’

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

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. In the publications, the median year householder moved into unit is rounded to the nearest year.

See also the definition ‘‘Year structure built.’’

Year primary mortgage originated. The year the primary mortgage was originated is the year the mortgage

was signed (see the definition ‘‘Primary mortgage’’). In the

publications, medians for year primary mortgage originated are rounded to the nearest year.

Year structure built. Year structure built represents the

respondent’s estimate of 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 manufactured/

mobile homes, the manufacturer’s model year was

assumed to be the year built. For manufactured/mobile

homes, the year the householder moved in can be earlier

than the year the structure was built because the

manufactured/mobile home site, not the manufactured/

mobile home itself, is in sample. The householder could

have replaced an older manufactured/mobile home with a

newer model. In the publications, median year built is

rounded to the nearest year.

Year unit acquired. The year the unit was acquired or

inherited refers to the year in which the present owner

acquired or inherited the house or apartment; for

example, the year the contract was signed. This date may

be different from the date when the occupants moved in.

If the land and building were bought at different times, the

year the building was acquired was recorded. If there was

a land contract only, the year the contract was signed was

recorded. In the publications, median year acquired is

rounded to the nearest year.

AHS-MS SAMPLE HOUSING UNITS

The sample housing units in the 2004 AHS-MS consisted

of the following categories:

1. All sample housing units that were interviewed in the

previous survey.

2. All sample housing units that were either Type A noninterviews (that is, units eligible to be interviewed) or

Type B noninterviews (that is, units not eligible for

interview at the time of the survey but which could

become eligible in the future) in the previous survey.

For a list of reasons for Type A and Type B noninterviews, see Appendix A for the definition of ‘‘Noninterview.’’

3. All sample housing units selected from a listing of

new residential construction building permits issued

since the previous survey. This sample represented

the housing units built in permit-issuing areas since

the previous survey.

4. All sample housing units that were added since the

previous survey in sample blocks from the nonpermit

universe. This sample represented the housing built in

non-permit-issuing areas since the previous survey.

Sample Selection

The Census Bureau initially grouped the housing units

enumerated in the 1990 Census of Population and Housing into census blocks and assigned these blocks to either

the unit/group quarters frame or the area frame, as follows:

1. Blocks located in an area that issued permits for new

construction were assigned to the unit/group quarters

frame.

2. All other blocks were assigned to the area frame.

The unit/group quarters frame was then split into the unit

frame and the group quarters frame by removing all group

quarters and placing them in a separate frame. In addition,

to coordinate the National Health Interview Survey, (NHIS),

the census blocks in the unit frame that contained sample

units selected by NHIS were moved to the area frame.

All housing units that were built after the 1990 census in

areas where construction of new homes was monitored by

building permits were placed into a separate frame, called

the permit frame.

Sampling operations for all frames were performed separately within a designated group of counties in each state.

Prior to the AHS-MS sample selection, records selected by

other Census Bureau surveys were removed from each of

the frames to avoid having the same housing unit in

sample for more than one survey. The Census Bureau

selected the AHS-MS sample from the remaining records.

Table B-4 presents the percentage of AHS-MS sample

drawn from each frame.

Unit frame. The Census Bureau stratified the 1990 census housing units by the central city and balance of the

metropolitan area, by the rent or value of the unit, and by

the number of rooms. A systematic sample of housing

units was then selected across these strata.

Group quarters frame. In the first stage, the Census

Bureau systematically sampled census blocks with a probability proportional to the group quarters measure of size.

Based upon a block’s measure of size, clusters expected to

yield four housing units were then sampled in the second

stage. Field representatives monitored these group quarters and sampled housing units that came into existence

after April 1, 1990, based on specific listing instructions.

Permit frame. The Census Bureau selected sample units

in the permit frame from a list of new construction building permits issued in each metropolitan area. Prior to

sample selection, the list of permits was sorted by 1990

central city and balance of the metropolitan area, permit

office, and the date the permit was issued. Clusters of

approximate size four were selected and then were

sampled down to one unit. If the original clusters were

larger than four, the units were sampled at 1 in 4.

Area frame. Remainder of the AHS-MS sample was

selected in blocks that had more than 4 percent of the

homes with inadequate street addresses or where newly

constructed units do not require building permits. The

first step was sorting census blocks by central city and

balance, and then by the percentage of renter-occupied

housing units in the block. Each block was assigned a

measure of size equivalent to total housing units in the

block divided by 4 and a systematic sample of blocks was

selected. The sample blocks were listed and an expected

four units were sampled from the lists. In blocks covered

by building permit offices, non-mobile home housing units

built since the 1990 census were screened out since these

units are covered by the permit frame.

To reduce field listing costs, the unit frame blocks that

were moved to the area frame to coordinate with NHIS

were matched to the census and the 1990 census list of

housing units in these blocks was created. These housing

units were sorted by address within census block and a

systematic sample of housing units (yielding approximately four units per block) was then selected from this

sample of blocks. New construction since the 1990 census

was captured in the permit frame since new construction

in these blocks was covered by the building permit system.

Estimation

The survey produced estimates of housing inventory characteristics at the midpoint of the interview period based

on the sample in the metropolitan area. The sample housing units were weighted according to a multiple-stage

ratio estimation procedure. Before implementing the ratio

estimation procedure, the basic weight (that is, the inverse

of the probability of selection) for each interviewed

sample housing unit was adjusted to account for Type A

noninterviews.

Type A noninterview adjustment. Type A noninterviews are occupied sample units for which occupants:

• were not home.

• refused to be interviewed.

• were unavailable for some other reason.

The Census Bureau computed the Type A noninterview

adjustment separately for the following:

1. All occupied housing units with data available from a

previous survey.

The adjustment for these units was calculated separately for owners in the central city, for owners in the

balance, for renters in the central city, and for renters

in the balance of the metropolitan area. All owneroccupied housing units were categorized into cells by

Appendix B B-3

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
the number of rooms and the value. All renteroccupied housing units were categorized into cells by

the number of rooms and the unit’s contract rent.

2. All occupied housing units without data from a previous survey.

The occupied housing units with incomplete or none

of the required data from a previous survey were

divided into two groups by central city and balance.

Within central city and balance, the housing units

were subdivided by frame. Finally, the housing units

were split on tenure status (owner/renter) at the time

of the interview.

Within a given cell, the Type A noninterview adjustment

factor was equal to the following ratio:

Weighted count

of interviewed

housing units

+

Weighted count

of Type A noninterviewed housing units

Weighted count of interviewed housing units

Ratio estimation procedure for the unit frame. The

Census Bureau computed a unit-frame ratio-estimation

factor separately for the cells that were formed by combining strata used in the sample selection of the unit

frame. This procedure corrected the probabilities of selection in each of the sample strata. Prior to the AHS-MS

sample selection, housing units already selected for other

Census Bureau surveys were deleted from the unit frame.

The same probability of selection was then applied to the

remaining units to select the AHS-MS sample. Since the

proportion of housing units deleted from each of the unit

frame strata was not necessarily equal as was assumed,

some variation between strata in the actual probability of

selection was introduced during the sample selection. The

unit-frame ratio-estimation factor for each cell was equivalent to:

1990 census count of housing units

from the unit frame in the corresponding cell

AHS-MS sample estimate of housing units from the

unit frame in 1990 in the corresponding cell

The denominators of these factors were the weighted estimates of all the AHS-MS housing units in existence at the

time of the 1990 census from the unit frame, using the

product of the basic weight and the Type A noninterview

adjustment factor.

Mobile home ratio estimation. To adjust for undercoverage of mobile homes, the Census Bureau assumed the

same undercoverage of mobile homes experienced in the

last enumeration and applied the undercoverage factors

from 1995 for the four appropriate metropolitan areas and

from 1996 for the nine appropriate metropolitan areas.

For more details on the calculation of these undercoverage

factors, refer to Current Housing Reports, Series H170/95

and H170/96 for the appropriate metropolitan areas.

Independent total housing unit ratio estimation. For

the ratio estimation procedure described below, each metropolitan area was subdivided into geographic areas consisting of individual counties or a combination of counties.

To lower the undercoverage of non-mobile homes, the

Census Bureau applied the following ratio estimation procedure in all areas:

Independent estimate of the total housing inventory

(excluding mobile homes) for the corresponding

geographic subdivision of the metropolitan area

Sample estimate of the total housing inventory

(excluding mobile homes) for the corresponding

geographic subdivision of the metropolitan area

The numerator of this ratio was determined by a model

consisting of the following components:

1. Census 2000 Housing Units. The Census 2000 counts

of housing units are updated each year through the

Geographic Update System to Support Intercensal Estimates to reflect boundary updates from the Boundary

and Annexation Survey, Count Question Resolution

actions, and administrative revisions.

2. Estimated Residential Construction since April 1,

2000. This component is calculated through a formula

involving counts of new residential construction in

non-permit issuing areas since April 1, 2000, plus

counts of residential building permits that resulted in

the construction of new units times a factor of 0.98

(since 2 percent of all building permits never result in

the actual construction of a housing unit).

3. Estimated New Mobile Home Placements. The Census

Bureau derives estimates for mobile homes by allocating state mobile home shipment data to subcounty

areas based on the subcounty area’s share of state

mobile homes in Census 2000.

4. Estimated Housing Loss. The yearly estimates of housing unit loss are based on data derived from the 1993

Components of Inventory Change Survey and 1990

census data. The following four types of housing units

were identified to be at a greater risk of loss:

• Mobile homes

• Older units constructed before 1939

• Vacant for seasonal or recreational use

• Boarded up

5. Final State and County Housing Unit Estimates. The

housing unit estimates at the subcounty level are

summed to obtain county level housing unit estimates, which are then summed to produce state level

housing unit estimates.

B-4 Appendix B

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
For a more detailed description of the determination of

these numbers, see <http://www.census.gov/popest

/topics/methodology/2003_hu_meth.pdf>. The denominator was obtained using the product of the basic weight

and the weighting factors of AHS-MS sample units, excluding mobile homes.

The computed ratio estimation factors were then applied

to all appropriate housing units in the corresponding geographic area of each metropolitan area, and the resulting

product was used as the final weight for tabulation purposes.

The ratio estimation procedure reduced the sampling error

for most statistics below what would have been obtained

by simply weighting the results of the sample by the

inverse of the probability of selection. Since the housing

population of the sample differed somewhat by chance

from the metropolitan area as a whole, one can expect

that the sample housing population, or different portions

of it, is brought into agreement with known good estimates of the metropolitan area housing population.

Historical Changes

The American Housing Survey (AHS) began in 1973 as the

Annual Housing Survey. Since 1981, the U.S. Census

Bureau has conducted the national survey every oddnumbered year. In 1984, it was renamed 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 1975–77, since the same

titles were published for those years as in 1974.

Age of other residential buildings within 300 feet.

1987, 1989, and 1997. See the topic ‘‘Buildings and

neighborhood.’’

Bars on windows of buildings.

1987, 1989, and 1997. See the topic ‘‘Buildings and

neighborhood.’’

Book titles, metropolitan sample.

Part C. Financial Characteristics of the Housing Inventory

Part D. Housing Characteristics of Recent Movers

Supplement report number 1. Financial Characteristics by

Indicators of Housing and Neighborhood Quality

1974. Parts A, B, C, and D stayed the same.

A new Part E, Urban and Rural Housing Characteristics,

was added.

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 into 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.

Buildings and neighborhood.

1987. As a result of using both decentralized telephone

interviewing and Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) in the 1987 AHS-National sample and later, data

for several observation items (where the interviewer,

rather than the respondent, supplied the data) are not

comparable with those reported in the 1985 AHS-National

sample. Data for the observation items for units assigned

to telephone interviewing were collected only if the

sample unit was located in a multiunit structure. Data for

the following items in 1987 and later national surveys are

restricted to units in a multiunit structure: ‘‘Stories in

structure;’’ ‘‘External building conditions;’’ ‘‘Description of

area within 300 feet;’’ ‘‘Age of other residential buildings

within 300 feet;’’ ‘‘Other buildings vandalized or with interior exposed;’’ ‘‘Bars on windows of buildings;’’ ‘‘Condition

of streets;’’ and ‘‘Trash, litter, or junk on streets or any

properties.’’ Data for these items were shown for all units

in the 1985 national survey, including single-family

homes.

Appendix C C-1

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
The data for these items in the 1987 American Housing

Survey−Metropolitan Sample (AHS-MS) are incorrect

because of the inadvertent use of the American Housing

Survey−National (AHS-N) weighted sample cases for certain items where AHS-N cases should not have been used.

In many cases, estimates of not-reported are too high and

other categories are too low. These items include: ‘‘Stories

in structure;’’ ‘‘External building conditions;’’ ‘‘Description

of area within 300 feet;’’ ‘‘Age of other residential buildings within 300 feet;’’ ‘‘Mobile homes in group;’’ ‘‘Other

buildings vandalized or with interior exposed;’’ ‘‘Bars on

windows of building;’’ ‘‘Condition of streets;’’ and ‘‘Trash,

litter, or junk on streets or any properties.’’

1989, 1991, and 1993. Because of the methods for

weighting the metropolitan samples in 1989, 1991, and

1993, the weighted totals in the metropolitan reports in

odd-numbered years for a few items are different from the

rest of the items. These are as follows: ‘‘Stories in structure;’’ ‘‘External building conditions;’’ ‘‘Description of area

within 300 feet;’’ ‘‘Age of other residential buildings within

300 feet;’’ ‘‘Mobile homes in group;’’ ‘‘Other buildings vandalized or with interior exposed;’’ ‘‘Bars on windows of

building;’’ ‘‘Condition of streets;’’ and ‘‘Trash, litter, or junk

on streets or any properties.’’ In odd-numbered years,

other items use a combined metropolitan/national

(national is conducted only in odd numbered years)

weighted sample; the above items only use a metropolitan

weighted sample. See Appendix B for a complete description of combined weighting.

1997. These items ceased being collected by interviewer

observation; they have become questions for the respondents. The intent of interviewer observations had been to

provide a source of data on housing conditions, independent of the respondents, because these items could be

directly observed by the interviewers. While neither

respondents nor interviewers are trained building inspectors, and they reported data on different subjects, the data

at least gave independent points of view by two people

for each housing unit. Furthermore, the observations were

collected even at units where interviews could not be

obtained, so they could be used in research on the representativeness of AHS noninterview adjustments (which are

explained in Appendix B).

As noted above, observations became impossible for

many single-unit structures in 1987. Starting in 1997, staff

no longer visit many multiunit buildings either, so the

observation items have become questions. The survey

could continue to collect observations when visits are

done for some other purpose, but the results would be too

biased to be useful (high turnover units, subdivided units,

and units where the respondent requests a personal interview).

Citizenship.

2001. In the 2001 survey, all households were asked the

country of birth questions. This new question series was

asked of all existing household members. These questions

include:

• In what country was ... born?

• Is ... a citizen of the United States?

• Was ... born a citizen of the United States?

• Did ... become a citizen of the United States through

naturalization?

• When did ... come to live in the United States?

Codebooks.

Documentation of codes on data files has been published

in various volumes. The most comprehensive is Codebook

for the American Housing Survey, Volume 1, 466 pages

plus 1 errata page. The codebook documents surveys

from 1973–93, showing which items are available in each

survey and when or if codes changed. The codebook was

published without a volume number, but is currently

referred to as Volume 1 to distinguish it from two later

volumes.

For surveys from 1994–96, codes remain the same as in

1993 (shown in Volume 1, as mentioned above), except a

few new and changed variables, which are shown in Volume 2, 90 pages. This Volume 2 also shows final record

layouts for 1984–96.

Volume 3, 250 pages, shows variables and codes used in

1997 and later, along with actual question wording.

The Codebook for the American Housing Survey, Public Use

File: 1997 and Later, version 1.0, updates Volume 3 providing more detailed descriptions of the public use file

variables and descriptive text covering survey procedures.

Some of the older surveys have additional documentation.

Besides a Questionnaire Compendium (900 pages) with

1973–81 questionnaires (see the topic ‘‘Questionnaires’’),

there is also a Questionnaire Directory (300 pages) with

unweighted frequency distributions of each variable in

1974–85, and an index to 1974–85 questionnaires (but no

copies of the questionnaires). Each file from 1973–83 had

a Technical Documentation volume, which duplicates the

Codebook, Volume 1 mentioned above, but is less accurate. When errors are found, they are corrected in Codebook, Volume 1 but not in Technical Documentation.

Copies of codebooks can be obtained from HUD User (see

the table on page vii).

Computer-assisted interviewing.

1987–91. Large-scale experiments in computer-assisted

telephone interviewing (CATI) were conducted as part of

the 1987–91 AHS-National sample (CATI has not been used

C-2 Appendix C

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
in metropolitan surveys, though some of those interviews

were completed on paper by telephone from the interviewer’s home). Preliminary analysis of the CATI experiments indicated that CATI has a significant effect on the

data. The experiments revealed that data for characteristics of owner-occupied 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.

CATI estimates were generally lower than non-CATI for

units with water leakage, monthly housing costs as percent of current income, other heating fuel, and owners

with a mortgage. However, CATI produced higher estimates for utilities paid separately, income, and shared

ownership. Other characteristics that showed significant

differences between CATI and non-CATI estimates include

routine maintenance costs and heating equipment.

Little is known at this time about whether CATI or nonCATI produces better data. The Census Bureau believes,

however, the estimates of change in AHS-National sample

between 1985 and later years will be biased for many

characteristics as a result of introducing CATI. See also the

topics ‘‘Buildings and neighborhood’’ and ‘‘Telephone interviewing.’’

1995. CATI was conducted for returning national sample

households whenever possible to the extent that CATI

staff was able to handle the workload.

1997. The Census Bureau eliminated the paper questionnaire. All interviews were conducted by computer-assisted

interviewing (CAI) using laptop computers. Both the survey questions and the skip instructions (that is, telling the

interviewer which questions to ask next) were programmed into the laptop. The field representatives either

phoned or made a personal visit to the respondent to conduct the interview. The interview questions were displayed

on the computer screen one at a time. The programming

of the skip instructions eliminated the possibility that the

field representative would not follow the correct path and

ask inappropriate questions (for example, asking about

monthly rent at an owner-occupied unit).

Caution is recommended when comparing prior years’

data with 1997 and beyond because of this change to a

laptop computer environment. For a number of reasons,

the change could give different responses. The laptop

incorporated a wide range of improvements that had been

identified during 2 years of research and testing. Skip patterns involved complex branching and calculations that

would not have been appropriate with a paper questionnaire. By using the laptop, field representatives found it

almost impossible to skip appropriate questions. Online

editing features reduced errors at the point of data collection. Feedback of telescoping (the reporting of events in

the current data collection that were and should have

been reported during an earlier time period) reduced the

number of incorrect answers. These changes should

improve the quality of the data.

For copies of the old paper questionnaire and the new

questions used in the laptop computer, see the topic

‘‘Questionnaire.’’

Condition of streets.

1987, 1989, and 1997. See the topic ‘‘Buildings and

neighborhood.’’

Current interest rate.

1990 and 1993. In the 1993 national and 1990 metropolitan surveys, a programming error was discovered and

corrected involving the computation of the median for the

item ‘‘Current interest rate.’’ Use caution when making

comparisons with earlier surveys. The medians presented

in the earlier reports were calculated incorrectly. However,

the data distributions are correct and can be used to compute corrected medians.

Dependent interviewing. Dependent interviewing is the

process by which data from surveys conducted in previous

years are used instead of, in addition to, or to verify data

collected during the current interview. The first use of

dependent interviewing in AHS was for the item ‘‘Year

structure built’’ in the year 1984.

1984. A new procedure was introduced for the collection

of data on the year the structure was built. The answer

obtained for the year the structure was built during the

current survey interview was compared to any valid

answers obtained in previous interviews for the same

housing unit. If the answers differed, the answer from the

previous interview was used in processing and tabulating

the data.

1987. A new procedure was introduced for the collection

of data on square footage. If the interview was at a housing unit that was successfully interviewed in the previous

survey, the question on square footage was not asked.

Instead the respondent was asked, ‘‘Since (date of the previous interview), has there been a change in the amount of

living space in this (house/apartment) because of putting

on an addition, finishing an attic, or converting a garage

to living space?’’ If the respondent answered no, the data

on square footage from the previous interview was used

in processing and tabulating the data. If the respondent

answered yes, the amount of added or lost space was

obtained from the respondent and added to or subtracted

from the square footage obtained in the previous interview. This new figure was then used in processing and

tabulating the data.

Appendix C C-3

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
1999. Some questions were modified to verify answers

with valid answers obtained during the previous survey’s

interview. If the current interview was being conducted

with the same household at the same housing unit, the

respondent was asked if the answer given in the previous

survey interview was still correct. Only if the respondent

answered ‘‘no’’ was the question for the current year

asked. If the respondent said the previously collected

information was correct, the information from the previous interview was used in processing and tabulating the

data. The modified questions concerned:

• Kitchen equipment, including cooking stove or range,

burners, microwave oven, refrigerator, kitchen sink, garbage disposal, trash compactor, and dishwasher

• Washing machine and clothes dryer

• Public sewer

• Source of water

• Drilled or dug well

• Central air conditioning

• Main heating equipment

• Exposed wiring and rooms without electric outlets

• Fuels used for house heating, cooking, clothes dryer,

hot water, and central air conditioning

• Porch, deck, or patio

• Lot size

• Foundation

• Other manufactured/mobile homes on property

• Stories in structure and stories from main entrance

• Value

(Value was verified if the current value was 35 percent

higher or lower than the value reported in the previous

interview.)

Other questions were not asked if a valid answer was

obtained in a previous interview and if the current interview was at the same housing unit. In this case, the

answers from the previous interview were used to process

and tabulate the data. These questions included:

• Mobile home site placement

• Year built

(Year built was verified if the residence was currently

owner occupied but renter occupied during the previous

interview. Otherwise, it was not asked, and the previous

survey’s answer was used.)

If the current interview was for the same household at the

same housing unit, then another set of questions was

asked if a valid answer was not obtained in a previous

interview. The answers from the previous interview were

used to process and tabulate the data. These questions

included:

• Previous occupancy

• Year unit acquired and how unit acquired

• First-time owner

• Source of down payment

• Purchase price or construction cost

Description of area within 300 feet.

1987, 1989, and 1997. See the topic ‘‘Buildings and

neighborhood.’’

1992. In the 1992 metropolitan surveys, two programming errors were discovered and corrected involving the

observation item ‘‘Description of Area Within 300 Feet.’’

The first error was that the stub line ‘‘Only single-family

detached’’ had been tallied incorrectly since the redesign

of the survey (1984). Therefore, data from 1984–91 in the

metropolitan reports are not comparable with data for

1992 and beyond. The second error was that the stub line

‘‘Not observed or not reported’’ had been incorrectly tallied from 1986–91. Data for this stub line from 1986–91

are not comparable with data for 1992 and beyond.

Education.

1995. The question was revised to give less detail for

people with less than a high school education and more

detail for people with college degrees and advanced vocational training, to be consistent with the decennial census

and other surveys.

External building conditions.

1987, 1989, and 1997. See the topic ‘‘Buildings and

neighborhood.’’

Flush toilet breakdowns.

1998. There was an error in the computer program for

the laptop in 1997. As a result, data on flush toilet breakdowns were not collected. In 1998, the error was corrected and data were published.

Geography.

2001. Starting in 2001, the data used for the national

books were changed by switching from 1980 censusbased geography to 1990 census-based geography. This

change affected the following geography data items that

are used in the weighting procedures:

• Central city, suburb, or nonmetropolitan

• Urban or rural

1980 geography and the 1980 weights, versus 1990

geography and the 1990 weights. The microdata file will

continue to show only 1980 geography for confidentiality

reasons.

Head of household/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.

Heating equipment.

1989. The heating equipment questions were revised to

improve the reporting of electric heat pumps as a heating

source. Previously, the questionnaire item dealing with the

type of heating equipment underreported electric heat

pumps. The respondents often answered yes to the first

option of ‘‘a central warm-air furnace with air vents or

ducts to the individual rooms’’ and did not proceed to the

option of ‘‘electric heat pump.’’ The questionnaire item

was revised to determine if the central air system is actually a heat pump or another type of warm-air furnace.

Hispanic origin.

2003. In accordance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) directives, the order of the Hispanic origin and

the race question were reversed (placing Hispanic origin

before race). Also see the topic ‘‘Race.’’

Home equity loans. See the topic ‘‘Mortgage.’’

Housing costs and value.

1984. Value, mortgage data, and taxes are shown for all

owners; rent is shown for all renters; and utilities for all of

both groups. From 1973–83, these items were shown only

for ‘‘specified’’ owners and renters. For comparability,

Table 19 in each chapter of books published since 1984

still shows data separately for ‘‘specified’’ owners and

Appendix C C-5

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
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.

Also, the terminology 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. The monthly housing costs items for subsidized

renters were revised to improve the reporting of actual

rental costs. In 1987, the questionnaire determined 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. Beginning in 1989, a probe was added for subsidized households to determine what they actually paid. The new

procedures in 1989 produced lower and more accurate

estimates.

Also see the topics ‘‘Income’’ and ‘‘Utilities.’’

1995. Mortgage payments were estimated when the

respondent did not know the amount. These payments

were estimated by amortizing each mortgage at level payments over its full term. If the amount borrowed is

unknown, it is imputed first from the value of the house. If

the interest rate or term were unknown, it would be

imputed from owners who got their mortgages in the

same year. This change eliminates a large source of missing data. While not perfect, it gives a much more complete

picture of housing costs than in previous years.

1997. A ‘‘Separate category,’’ depending on income of the

occupants, was added for vacant-for-rent units. In these

units, the rent charged will depend on the income of the

occupants, such as in public housing or some military

housing. In 1995 and earlier, the category ‘‘less than

$100’’ includes an estimated 166,000 housing units where

the rent depended on income of the occupants. They have

a code 1 in the microdata. These units were incorrectly

published as ‘‘less than $100’’ from 1985–96.

Housing unit definition.

1984. One major and one minor difference appear in the

housing unit definition. The major difference is that since

1984, the AHS 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

national housing inventory. The 1973–83 AHS excluded

these units from weighted counts, though they are

included in the microdata with zero weight.

A minor difference in the definition is the 1973–83

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 1984, the complete kitchen facilities alternative was dropped, leaving direct access required of all

units.

Another issue is how to define group quarters. In the

1973–83 AHS, a household containing five or more people

unrelated to the householder was considered to be group

quarters. In 1984, the cutoff was changed to nine or more

people unrelated to the householder.

How the housing unit was acquired.

1997. Beginning in 1997, all homeowners were asked

how they obtained their home. The homeowners’

responses were stored on the national microdata file but

not published in the national book. The possible answers

to the new question include:

• Buy a house already built.

• Sign a sales agreement that included the land as well as

the cost of building the house (includes both units that

were under construction and those not yet started).

• Build it yourself on your own land (includes person acting as own general contractor; also includes lease land).

• Receive it as a gift or inheritance.

2001. The year the data were first published in the

national book.

Income.

1984. See the topic ‘‘Poverty.’’

1989. Two new items, ‘‘Monthly housing costs as percent

of current income’’ and ‘‘Ratio of value to current income,’’

replaced similar items that were published in 1984–88.

For income, these new items use ‘‘Current income.’’ In

1984–88, the items ‘‘Monthly housing costs as percent of

income’’ and ‘‘Value-income ratio’’ used the ‘‘Income of

families and primary individuals in the last 12 months.’’

See Appendix A for the definitions of ‘‘Current income,’’

‘‘Monthly housing costs as percent of current income,’’ and

‘‘Ratio of value to current income.’’ Use caution when comparing prior years’ data with 1989 because of the differences in the definitions.

For comparative purposes, Table C-2 shows monthly housing costs as a percent of both income in the last 12

months and of current income. For total households and

owner households, the medians for housing cost as a percent of income are the same regardless of types of

income.

For renter households, the medians are 29 and 27 percent,

respectively.

1993. Questions on income sources were revised in an

effort to improve income reporting. The question in earlier

surveys reported interest or dividend income of $400 or

more. In 1993, it was divided into two questions: one on

any interest, the other on any dividends from stocks,

regardless of amount. Therefore, both new questions

cover even small amounts.

Wage and salary income was underreported for some

people and households in the 1993 national survey. 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 normally allocated during the

processing. In 1993, this income was not allocated, but

was incorrectly processed as ‘‘zero’’ (no) income. This

error was corrected in the 1995 national survey. Although

the income data for 1993 are incorrect, analysis of median

household income for 1991, 1993, and 1995 indicates

that the overall effect of this error on 1993 data is minor,

though it significantly increases the apparent number of

households with zero income.

Use caution when making income comparisons before and

after the 1993 survey.

1999. Income was collected for all people 16 years and

older in the household. In previous surveys, income was

collected for all people 14 years and older in the household.

Income sources.

1993. See the topic ‘‘Income.’’

2001. In the questions used to inventory the cash benefits a person received over the past 12 months, the

answer category ‘‘Receive SSI/AFDC/Other Welfare’’ was

changed to ‘‘Receive SSI, Public Assistance, or Welfare Payments, such as [state TANF program name].’’ Individual

states used different names for their Temporary Assistance

to Needy Families (TANF) programs, so the question wording varied by state. This was done to update the source of

income questions because the passage of the Personal

Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of

1996 replaced the AFDC assistance program with TANF.

2004. Whether or not a resident of the housing unit

received SSI payments was collected in a separate category. In 2003 and earlier, the receipt of SSI payments was

collected in a combined category that included public

assistance and welfare payments.

Items dropped.

2001. See the topic ‘‘Questionnaire.’’

Items published for the first time.

2001. See the topic ‘‘Questionnaire.’’

Kitchen.

1984. Short questions are asked about each aspect of a

complete kitchen; previously only one long question was

asked. The 1984 approach finds more homes missing

some part of the kitchen than the old longer question did.

In vacant units, the definition was changed. Previously, if

the respondent said the kitchen was incomplete, but the

future tenant would be expected to complete it (for

example, occupant provides a refrigerator), as is the practice in some areas, such a kitchen was counted as complete. Starting in 1984, it is counted as incomplete. Both

approaches have problems, but the newer approach was

chosen as preferable.

Between 1983 (old question and instruction) and 1985

national (new questions and instruction), the estimate of

occupied units with incomplete kitchens changed 59 percent from 827,000 to 1,316,000. The estimate of vacant

units with incomplete kitchens changed 274 percent from

665,000 to 2,490,000. Much of this change is assumed to

be a result of the changes in the questions.

Starting in 1984, units reported in the category ‘‘Complete

kitchen facilities’’ in the printed books had to have an

oven. For the microdata files, an oven was not required to

be included in the category ‘‘Complete kitchen facilities’’

(under ‘‘Equipment’’). The definition of ‘‘Complete kitchen

facilities’’ in Appendix A of the printed books incorrectly

omits that the oven was required in the publication.

1997. The questions concerning each component of

kitchen facilities were redesigned in 1997. Prior to 1997,

the questions the respondents answered contained a definitional instruction to the field representative that the

equipment was for this household’s use only. The field

representative, however, did not read this instruction to

the respondent. Beginning in 1997, the instruction ‘‘this

household’s use only’’ is no longer a part of the question

for each kitchen component. In its place, the field representative asked, when the respondent lived in a unit in a

multiunit structure, if any of the kitchen equipment was

shared with another household. This change caused large

increases in the number of units lacking complete kitchen

facilities and large decreases in the number of units with

complete kitchen facilities.

Appendix C C-7

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Lead paint.

2001. The lead paint questions were dropped. These

questions were asked in all housing units built before

1978 to collect data on signs of lead paint hazards (for

example, peeling paint, paint chips, and so forth). They

also asked if the household was notified of lead paint hazards.

Line of credit. See the topic ‘‘Mortgage.’’

Location of previous unit.

1995. 1995 data were suppressed because it was not

possible to code the metropolitan area of the previous unit

consistently with the location of the current unit. The data

involved comparing the metropolitan area of the previous

residence with the current residence’s location. The AHS

current residence is coded by its 1983 metropolitan area

(see Appendix A for the definition of ‘‘Metropolitan areas’’).

Since 1993, the Census Bureau has not been able to code

the previous residence with comparable 1983 boundaries

because of updated geographic coding systems. Therefore, this item has been suppressed to avoid spurious

changes. (The 1993 national data were not suppressed,

but it is unclear whether they were correctly coded.)

Lodgers.

1984. A new series of questions concerning lodgers was

introduced. Lodgers were defined as household members

14 years or older who are not related to the householder,

not co-owners or co-renters, and are not a spouse or child

of a co-owner or a co-renter. The respondent was asked if

the lodger(s) paid a regular, fixed rent and, if so, what the

dollar cost was and if it included food. The questions were

intended to measure the cost of housing for the lodger(s).

In this, as well as earlier and later years, any lodger’s rent

received by the householder should be reported as rental

income, but it is not certain whether householders do or

did so.

1985. The phrase ‘‘as a lodger’’ was added to the questions concerning rent paid. The universe for these questions remained the same, but the wording was changed to

make the question clearer.

1993. Questions concerning nonrelative housing costs

were added to replace the questions about lodgers. This

change modified not only the questions in the survey but

also the universe. The new questions were targeted to all

household members 14 years or older who are not related

to the householder. The new questions included any housing costs paid by the nonrelative (not only rent).

1995. The nonrelative sharing housing costs questions

were dropped and the lodger questions used in the 1985

survey were reintroduced using the 1984 definition of

lodgers.

1997. The questions concerning lodgers were asked in

accordance with the 1984 definition of lodgers. In addition, these questions were also asked of adult relatives.

An adult relative is defined as a relative 21 years or older

who is not a co-owner or co-renter and is not a spouse of

a co-owner or co-renter. The data for these adult relatives

are available on the microdata, but the publication only

reflects data collected from the lodgers.

1999. Lodger questions were no longer asked of adult

relatives (see 1997 above). In addition, the age cutoff in

the definition of lodger was changed from 14 years or

older to 16 years or older. See also the definition ‘‘Rent

paid by lodgers’’ in Appendix A.

Losses.

1975 and 1976. The figures for housing units lost from

the housing stock between 1973 and 1975 or 1976, published in the 1975 and 1976 national books, are incorrect.

These figures were corrected in 1977 and published in

General Housing Characteristics for the United States and

Regions: 1977, series H150/77.

Main house heating fuel.

1999. In 1997, the type of gas used (piped versus

bottled) as a main house heating fuel was inadvertently

omitted for vacant housing units. In 1999, the distinction

was reinstated.

Manufactured/mobile homes.

1984. Manufactured/mobile homes with attached permanent rooms began to be counted as mobile homes, while

previously they were counted as single-family units.

Manufactured/mobile homes with attached permanent

rooms are identified separately in the microdata. See the

topic ‘‘Housing unit definition.’’

1985. See the topic ‘‘Weighting.’’

Married-couple families.

1985 and 1987. The published 1985 and 1987 national

estimates of married-couple families with no nonrelatives

were overestimates resulting from a processing error. The

1985 overestimate was approximately 340,000, while the

1987 overestimate was 407,800. The overestimated

married-couple families with no nonrelatives should have

been tabulated under two-or-more-person households as

either ‘‘other male’’ or ‘‘other female’’ householders. This

error was corrected in 1989. Table C-3 provides corrected

figures for 1987.

Metropolitan areas and central cities.

1984. Books and microdata started using 1983 boundaries. This change increased the number of metropolitan

units, especially suburbs, and decreased the number of

nonmetropolitan units. These boundaries were established

in 1983 based on population and commuting patterns

measured in the 1980 census. Therefore, the 1984 AHS

metropolitan boundaries are not comparable to those in

the 1980 census publications.

National microdata started showing central city and suburban status in all cases. Also, cases in more areas have the

identifying code for their area shown because of less strict

confidentiality constraints than in the past (areas of

100,000 population may be identified; the previous rule

was 250,000).

Metropolitan microdata always identify the total area surveyed, but not necessarily the newer central cities, to protect confidentiality. When an area of less than 100,000

people was added to an AHS Metropolitan survey, sample

cases were added there, and extra sample cases also were

added in part of the old area, so no one would know

which cases were in the small added area.

From 1973–83, all books and microdata had consistently

used 1971 boundaries of metropolitan areas and cities.

These were called Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas

(SMSAs). The criteria were published by the U.S. Bureau of

Budget in Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas, 1959.

The boundaries were published by the U.S. Bureau of Budget in Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas, 1967

(which also reprinted the criteria), and some boundaries

were revised in the Office of Management and Budget’s

(formerly U.S. Bureau of the Budget) Second Amendment,

February 23, 1971. These same boundaries were used in

publications from the 1970 census.

Note that major revisions in official SMSA boundaries (but

not AHS boundaries) were made in 1973 using results of

the 1970 census; additional revisions were made during

the 1970s. More major revisions occurred in 1983 using

results of the 1980 census. Therefore, the AHS revision in

1984 reflected the cumulative result of 12 years of

changes in official definitions.

1995. Starting in 1995, most metropolitan surveys use

new samples and new boundaries, which for the first time

may differ from standard boundaries published by the

Office of Management and Budget. A list of exactly which

counties (towns in New England) are covered in each metropolitan survey each year is printed in each metropolitan

book.

2001. Data in the 2001 AHS National publication are

weighted using 1990 census-based geography. However,

data on the 2001 microdata file are weighted using 1980

census-based geography.

2003. Data in the 2003 AHS National publication are

weighted using 2000 census-based geography. However,

data on the 2003 microdata file are weighted using 1990

census-based geography.

Monthly expenses, additional help.

1998. Beginning in 1998, additional questions were asked

of renters when the ratio of monthly housing costs as percent of current income is high. Either rental households

receiving housing assistance that report spending more

than 35 percent of their income on housing, or rental

households not receiving housing assistance with incomes

less than $15,000 that report spending more then 50 percent of their income on housing were asked questions on

assistance for food, clothing, car and transportation

expenses, child care, medical care or medicine, and utility

bills. They were asked to specify the type of help they

received and, if the help was not cash, whether they could

determine a dollar value. Because of confidentiality, no

dollar amount was released on the microdata file, only the

types of help. The data were not published but are available on the microdata file.

Monthly housing costs.

1984, 1989, and 1995. See the topic ‘‘Housing costs and

value.’’

Mortgage.

1999. The ‘‘reverse mortgage’’ item under ‘‘Mortgages currently on property’’ was eliminated. In 2001, this item was

reinstated.

2001. The collection of data for reverse mortgages was

reintroduced in 2001. In addition, new mortgage questions were added and modifications were made to existing

mortgage questions to more clearly delineate home-equity

loans from regular mortgages, as well as to clearly differentiate between home-equity lump-sum loans and homeequity lines of credit. In addition, more detailed information was collected on home-equity lump-sum loans than in

the past.

In 1997 through 1999, respondents were asked if they

had a regular (other than a home equity) mortgage. If they

answered ‘‘yes,’’ they were asked how many regular mortgages they had. Respondents were also asked if they had

a home-equity loan. If they answered ‘‘yes,’’ they were

asked how many home-equity loans they had.

Appendix C C-9

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Detailed characteristics were collected on the first three

regular mortgages. One of the regular mortgages was

determined to be the primary mortgage. Data were also

collected on the first three home-equity loans; although,

not as much detail was collected on home-equity loans as

was collected on regular mortgages. One of the homeequity loan questions was if the home-equity loan was a

lump-sum line-of-credit.

In 2001, separate counts of lump-sum home-equity loans

and lines-of-credit home-equity loans were obtained. As in

1997 through 1999, respondents were asked if they had a

regular mortgage and if ‘‘yes,’’ how many. Next they were

asked if they had a lump-sum home-equity loan and if

‘‘yes,’’ how many. Finally, they were asked if they had a

home-equity line-of-credit and if ‘‘yes,’’ how many.

Detailed characteristics were collected for both regular

mortgages and lump-sum home-equity loans in 2001. The

detailed characteristics continued to be collected on the

first three mortgage loans with regular mortgages having

priority over lump-sum home-equity loans. For example, if

the respondent had two regular mortgages and two lumpsum home-equity loans, the detailed data were collected

on the two regular mortgages and the first lump-sum

home-equity loan reported. In addition, regular mortgages

also took priority in being designated the primary mortgage. For example, if the respondent reported one regular

mortgage and one lump-sum home-equity loan, the regular mortgage was considered to be the primary mortgage.

If, however, the respondent only reported having a lumpsum home-equity loan, the lump-sum home-equity loan

was designated the primary mortgage. The data collected

for home-equity lines-of-credit loans remained the same in

2001 as in 1997 through 1999.

2003. Several programming errors were discovered and

corrected in the mortgage edits. These errors primarily

affect households that indicated they had a second mortgage but provided little information about it (i.e., had a

high level of item nonresponse to the second mortgage

questions). The errors typically caused such households to

have their second mortgage blanked and also changed the

characteristics of the first mortgage.

Compared with data with the erroneous edits, the estimated number of households having two or more mortgages increased by 147,000 (1.64 percent). Most of these

households would have otherwise been coded as having

one mortgage only; the number of households with one

mortgage decreased by 134,000 (-0.39 percent). Again,

compared with data with the erroneous edits, the corrections decreased by 11,000 (0.04 percent) the number of

households with units owned free and clear; increased by

21,000 (0.04 percent) the number of households with a

regular mortgage; and increased by 5,000 (0.13 percent)

the number with a lump-sum home-equity mortgage. The

number of home-equity lines of credit was not affected.

The biggest differences in the characteristics of mortgages

are for the ‘‘Not reported’’ categories (many of the mortgage variables are not allocated). More than an estimated

100,000 not reported households were added for several

of the mortgage items.

All these differences are relatively minor when compared

with the total estimates for any given category. As a

result, 2001 mortgage data will not be corrected. Users

are cautioned, however, that both underestimates of mortgages and their characteristics exist in the published 2001

American Housing Survey data. These errors do not affect

survey years prior to 2001.

Name change.

1984. The AHS changed its name from the Annual Housing Survey to the American Housing Survey. See the opening paragraph of this appendix.

Neighborhood.

1987, 1989, and 1997. See the topic ‘‘Buildings and

neighborhood.’’

New construction.

1976, 1977, and 1978. The figures for 1973–76 new

construction, 1973–77 new construction, and 1973–78

new construction published in the 1976, 1977, and 1978

national books are incorrect. These figures were corrected

in 1979 and published in Part A, General Housing Characteristics for the United States and Regions: 1979, series

H150/79.

1984. In 1984 and later AHS reports, the characteristics

of new construction units are based on units constructed

during the last 4 years. Prior to 1984, characteristics of

new construction were based on units built since the last

survey year. In the national survey, this was a 1-year

period, except for the 1983 survey, which covered a

2-year period. In the metropolitan survey, this varied from

being a 3- to 4-year period.

Other buildings vandalized or with interior

exposed.

1987, 1989, and 1997. See the topic ‘‘Buildings and

neighborhood.’’

Other housing costs per month.

1995. A processing error was discovered and corrected

involving the category ‘‘Homeowner association fee paid.’’

The ‘‘Homeowner association fee paid’’ data in 1993 and

earlier were incorrect and should not be used. The 1995

data are correct.

Lacks any of the following, inside the structure, for exclusive use of occupants of this housing unit: hot piped water, cold piped water, flush toilet,

bathtub (shower is an acceptable alternative).

1999. Several processing errors were discovered and corrected for the category ‘‘homeowner association fee paid.’’

The 1997 and 1998 data published for this category are

incorrect. In 1997 and 1998, ‘‘homeowner association fee

paid’’ was incorrectly tallied for mobile homes. In addition,

the processing of data for units that are not mobile homes

was done incorrectly. The 1997 and 1998 data should not

be used. The 1999 data are correct.

Persons other than spouse or children.

1993. See the topic ‘‘Lodgers.’’

Plumbing facilities. Use caution when making comparisons among any of the surveys after 1983.

1984. Changes in the questionnaire resulted in serious

deficiencies in plumbing data. In 1983 and earlier, respondents were asked a question on complete plumbing facilities that specified to the respondent the components necessary for complete plumbing (that is, hot and cold piped

water, a flush toilet, and a bathtub or shower). The question further ensured that these facilities were only for the

use of the occupants of the unit in which they were

located (exclusive use). In those units with complete

plumbing, an additional question was asked as to how

many bathrooms there were.

Starting in 1984, respondents were first asked how many

full bathrooms they had. If they answered one or more,

questions on plumbing facilities were not asked; the unit

was assumed to have complete plumbing facilities for

exclusive use. Although the 1984–87 definition of a bathroom specified hot and cold piped water, a sink, a flush

toilet, and a bathtub or shower, this definition was not

read to the respondent. Also, nothing in the question

required the bathroom to be only for the use of the occupants of the sample unit (exclusive use). We believe that

the 1984–87 AHS counted a significant number of units as

having complete plumbing for exclusive use because

respondents for these units reported having a bathroom

when, in fact, either the bathroom did not contain all

plumbing facilities, or the facilities were shared by people

living in another unit. Based on previous years’ AHS data,

we believe the ‘‘completeness’’ was more of a problem

than ‘‘exclusive use.’’

The table on plumbing facilities was suppressed in books

starting in 1985 (though data were still included in severe

physical problems, see Table C-4). Data for 1984 were

published but are incorrect.

1989. Beginning in the 1989 national survey (1990 metropolitan surveys), the questionnaire items on bathrooms

and plumbing were modified to provide more accurate

estimates. Respondents were asked, ‘‘How many full bathrooms with a sink, with hot and cold piped water, a flush

toilet, and a bathtub or shower does this house/apartment

have?’’ Also, an additional question was asked, ‘‘Are the

bathrooms for this household’s use only?’’ If the respondent reported no bathrooms, detailed questions on each

required plumbing facility were asked separately.

In 1989, there were 3,139,000 year-round housing units in

the United States lacking complete plumbing facilities for

exclusive use. Prior to 1985, there was a downward trend

of units lacking complete plumbing facilities, with 1983

showing 2,233,000 such units. Units lacking plumbing

may not have increased between 1983 and 1989, for the

1989–91 figures may be too high, as noted below in the

discussion of changes in 1993.

been underestimated in both national and metropolitan

surveys in 1984–90. It also appears the units with moderate problems may have been overestimated.

There was an unrealistic increase in units with severe

problems in the United States between 1985–89 because

of redesigning the plumbing facilities question, and then

an unrealistic drop in 1993. Occupied housing units with

severe problems went from 1,559,000 in 1985 to

3,161,000 in 1989 and 1,901,000 in 1993. There was a

simultaneous decrease in moderate problems, from

5,814,000 in 1985 to 4,442,000 in 1989, which may be

unrealistic, but no corresponding increase in 1993. Figures are shown in Table C-4. This increase also affected

medians as Table C-5 shows.

1993. 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. This change appears to have

caused a one-third drop in plumbing problems, compared

to 1991, and a similar drop in severe physical problems.

Although the decrease between 1991 and 1993 seems

unrealistic, the change in the 1993 questionnaire probably

resulted in a better estimate.

1997. The definition of a complete bathroom was

removed again from the original question (as in 1985–87),

although the definition was still available in a help screen.

Later in the questionnaire, for homes with only one bathroom, AHS asked specifically if the bathroom had hot and

cold water, flush toilet, and bathtub or shower.

For households with more than one toilet, the 1997 questionnaire mistakenly asked about times when the toilet

was unusable, instead of times when all toilets were unusable. The 1997 breakdown data and counts of moderate

physical problems may therefore include many units

where another toilet was indeed usable.

1998. See the topic ‘‘Flush toilet breakdowns.’’

Poverty.

1984. The AHS provides housing characteristics for

households with income below the poverty level. The AHS

poverty data are not comparable to poverty data published from the Current Population Survey (CPS). Table C-6

presents the differences.

Table C-6. Households in Poverty in AHS and CPS:

1985, 1987, and 1989

Year AHS CPS

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

1987 ................................. 11,969,000 11,807,000

1989 ................................. 12,403,000 11,369,000

1985–87 change ...................... −1,297,000 −189,000

1987–89 change ...................... 434,000 −438,000

Compared with the CPS, the AHS drop in poverty between

1985 and 1987 seems too large. The 1987–89 AHS

increase in poverty may be, in part, a compensation for

the unrealistic 1985–87 drop.

In general, AHS estimates of poverty are higher than the

CPS estimates. Research indicates that the AHS slightly

underreports income when compared with the CPS, thus

overreporting poverty. Furthermore, the problem seems to

be concentrated among elderly households. A detailed discussion of AHS poverty data is presented in the Census

Bureau memoranda for the record, ‘‘AHS Poverty Data,

1985 to 1989’’ and ‘‘Comparison of the 1989 AHS and CPS

Income Reporting.’’ Copies can be obtained by writing to

the Housing and Household Economic Statistics Division,

U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233.

Analysts are reminded that poverty data are published in

the AHS, not as an official count of households in poverty,

but to show the housing characteristics of low-income

households.

2004. Starting in 2004, we made two changes in the metropolitan microdata files to the method of counting the

number of children and adults in the poverty calculations.

First, nonrelative children who are household members

and under the age of 18 years are now counted as children. Prior to 2004, nonrelative children were counted as

adults. Second, the poverty line is defined only for households of nine persons or less. Before 2004, in large households (with more than nine persons), children had been

counted first toward the ratio of children to adults within

the household. For example, a household with six children

and six adults had been treated as a household with six

children and three adults for the purpose of calculating

poverty. This was changed to count adults first, thus

changing this example to six adults and three children.

These changes affected a fairly large number of cases. In

the 2003 national data, 5.1 percent of households had

their number of children changed by the new procedures.

However, they had an extremely small effect on the number of households in poverty. Had this change been implemented in 2003, it would have reduced the number of

households in poverty by 29,000, a reduction of 0.03 percentage points (from 13.19 percent to 13.16 percent).

C-12 Appendix C

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Public elementary school.

1997. Satisfaction with the public elementary school was

no longer asked at all households with children under 17.

It was only asked if the household had a child 13 years old

or younger. This change was caused by a desire to focus

on households that would be most knowledgable about

elementary schools. A mistake prevented covering all such

households.

1999. In 1998 and earlier years, the question on type of

school attended was asked of households with children

ages 4 to 16. In 1999, the question was asked of households with children ages 5 to 15. The answer category

‘‘does not attend school’’ was replaced with ‘‘schooled at

home.’’ However, instructions to the field representative

defined both answer categories as the same, meaning children who did not attend school were entered into the

‘‘schooled at home’’ category.

2001. In 2001, a new answer category ‘‘Not in school’’

was added in the school item.

Public transportation.

2001. In 2001, a new item ‘‘Does anyone in the household ever use public transportation?’’ was added to the

public transportation series.

Questionnaire.

1984. A new questionnaire was introduced in 1984. Most

of the changes on the questionnaire were made to

improve the quality of the data. As a result, however, several items in 1984 and beyond are not comparable to similar data for 1973–83; a discussion of each item can be

found in the appendix under the topic of the same name.

Items changed on 1984 questionnaire include:

• Units in structure

• Rooms in unit

• Plumbing facilities

• Kitchen

• Recent movers

Some new items were introduced in 1984, including lot

size, square footage, units with severe or moderate problems, elderly householder, heating-degree days (national

sample only), and detailed information on mortgages. For

detailed definitions of these and other items, see Appendix A.

1995. A number of new items were introduced in the

1995 questionnaire to improve the quality of the data.

New items in the 1995 questionnaire include:

• Rooms used for business

• Homes currently for sale or rent

• Safety of primary source of water

• Source of drinking water

• Rent paid by lodgers

• Home equity loan

1997. Computer-assisted personal interviewing was introduced in the 1997 AHS using laptop computers. See the

topic ‘‘Computer-assisted interviewing.’’

1999. A series of new procedures changed the way data

were collected for many items. These changes were:

Appendix C C-13

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
• Dependent interviewing was greatly expanded in 1999.

For a discussion of dependent interviewing and a list of

the data items affected, see the topic ‘‘Dependent interviewing.’’

• The procedures for collecting data were changed for

four items. See the topics ‘‘Income,’’ ‘‘Lodgers,’’ ‘‘Public

elementary schools,’’ and ‘‘Rooms in units.’’ A correction

was made for vacant housing units to the item ‘‘Main

house heating fuel.’’ See the topic ‘‘Main house heating

fuel.’’

A number of new items was introduced in the 1999 survey. For detailed definitions of these items, see Appendix A. The items are:

• Bodies of water within 300 feet

• Building and ground maintenance

• Building neighbor noise

• Location of extra unit

• Nights owner spent at extra unit

• Nights owner rented extra unit

• Reasons for extra unit owned

• Renter maintenance quality

A few items were eliminated in the 1999 survey. They are:

• Adequate inside maintenance

• Buildings and grounds properly maintained

• Reverse mortgages

2001. New items—More new items were introduced in the

survey (See Appendix A for definitions):

• Cash received in primary mortgage refinanced

• Citizenship of householder

• Community quality

• Current line-of-credit interest rate

• Land contract

• Line-of-credit amount used for home additions,

improvements, or repairs

• Line-of-credit monthly payment

• Percent of nonrefinanced primary mortgage, including

home-equity lump-sum used for home purchase and

improvement

• Percent of primary mortgage refinanced cash used for

home additions, improvements, or repairs

• Percent of the loan used for the purchase of the home

or addition

• Reason primary mortgage refinanced

• Secured communities

• Secured multiunits

• Senior citizen communities

• Total home-equity line-of-credit limit

• Total outstanding line-of-credit loans

• Year householder immigrated to the United States

Dropped items—Data on painted surfaces were dropped

from the AHS. In 1999, data on this topic were published

as microdata.

Race.

1995. Beginning in the 1995 national and 1996 metropolitan surveys, two new categories were added to this

item: ‘‘American Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut’’ and ‘‘Asian and

Pacific Islanders.’’

2003. Beginning in 2003, multiple race classifications

were introduced for the first time and the ‘‘Other’’ category

was eliminated from the tabulation through the edit process. People were asked to respond to the question on

race by indicating one or more of the six race categories.

Respondents who chose only one race are referred to as

the race alone population. Respondents who chose more

than one of the six race categories are referred to as the

Two or More Race population. Starting in 2003, AHS began

using the complete CPS persons’ edits. These do not allow

‘‘Other’’ entries in race, but allocate one of the five specified response categories to those people reporting ‘‘Other’’

race. In the past, the ‘‘Other’’ race category contained

write-in entries, such as ‘‘human being’’ and ‘‘brown.’’ Previously, many Hispanic householders (about 30 percent in

2001) stated that they were ‘‘Other’’ race, and 78 percent

of the ‘‘Other’’ race householders were Hispanic. In 2003,

although people may have reported themselves as ‘‘Other’’

race, the edits allocated them to a different race category.

So, while over 7,000 people, 6,100 of whom were Hispanic, said they were ‘‘Other’’ race, the edits assigned a

category of ‘‘White only’’ to 92 percent of the Hispanics

who had reported ‘‘Other’’ race. However, this corresponds

to what Hispanics say who report a race category.

Reasons for leaving previous unit.

1998. There was an error in the computer program for

the laptop in 1997. As a result, data for the categories

‘‘private displacement’’ and ‘‘government displacement’’

were not collected. In 1998, the error was corrected and

data were published.

Recent movers.

1984. In the 1984 AHS and later, some of the data for

recent movers are based on the householder’s characteristics and some are based on characteristics of the AHS

respondent who may or may not be the householder.

Before 1984, all recent-mover data were based on the

householder’s characteristics.

Rent control.

1988. In 1988, the computer edits for the metropolitan

samples were changed for units reporting rent control.

The states of California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New

C-14 Appendix C

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
York, and Massachusetts, as well as the District of Columbia, are the only states that have metropolitan areas with

rent control. If a respondent answered ‘‘yes’’ to rent control in a metropolitan area not in one of the above mentioned states, the answer was edited to ‘‘no.’’ In survey

years prior to 1988, answers of ‘‘yes’’ to rent control in

metropolitan areas not in one of the above mentioned

states are errors.

Rent reductions.

1999. In the publication, the item ‘‘Rent reductions’’ is

tabulated differently for renter-occupied units from how it

was in 1998 and earlier years. Although the tabulation

was changed in the publication, the data on the microdata

file for each component of this publication item remain

the same. The change is not a result of any change in the

data collection procedure.

Research after the 1998 survey has shown that it is possible for a unit to be both subsidized and either under rent

control or having the rent reduced by the owner. For

example, the respondent may receive a voucher from the

government to help pay the rent and still live in a rentcontrolled unit. The procedure used in 1997 and 1998

relied heavily on the respondents’ answers to the questions on rent control and owner reduction. As a result, a

large number of units that could have been tallied as

‘‘Other, income verification’’ and therefore ‘‘subsidized’’

were not. A smaller but significant number of units were

tallied as ‘‘Other, income verification,’’ which should not

have been so classified.

The classification of units as ‘‘Other, income verification’’

in the AHS publications is dependent on the answers

respondents gave to a long list of subsidy questions. The

tabulations attempt to estimate the number of units that

are believed to be subsidized, but for which the type of

subsidy is unknown. Past research using AHS data has

shown that many respondents are not sure if their units

are subsidized or, if subsidized, what type the subsidy

may be. A unit that is classified as ‘‘Other, income verification’’ could be a unit that is owned by a public housing

authority, a unit receiving some other form of government

subsidy, or a unit subsidized by a private organization.

In 1997 and 1998, the classification ‘‘Other, income verification’’ required that the respondent did not answer that

the unit was owned by a public housing authority or was

part of a specific type of subsidy program and also

answered the following:

• ‘‘Yes’’ to the question: ‘‘As a part of your rental agreement, do you need to answer questions about your

income whenever your lease is up for renewal?’’

• Any answer except ‘‘A public housing authority or a

state or local housing agency’’ to the question: ‘‘To

whom do you report your income?’’

• ‘‘No’’ to the question: ‘‘Do you pay a lower rent because

the government is paying part of the cost of the units?’’

• ‘‘No’’ to the question: ‘‘Does the government limit the

rent on the unit through rent control or rent stabilization?’’

• ‘‘No’’ to the question: ‘‘Is the rent adjusted because

someone in the household works for or is related to the

owner?’’

In 1999, the tabulation procedures were changed. The

classification ‘‘Other, income verification’’ now requires

that the respondent did not answer that the unit was

owned by a public housing authority or was part of a specific type of subsidy program, but did answer the following:

• ‘‘Yes’’ to the question: ‘‘As part of your rental agreement,

do you need to answer questions about your income

whenever your lease is up for renewal?’’

• Either ‘‘A building manager or landlord’’ or ‘‘a public

housing authority or a state or local housing agency’’ to

the question ‘‘To whom do you report your income?’’

Table C-8 presents 1999 rent reduction data using both

the old procedures and the new 1999 procedures for

renter-occupied units. The new procedures provide an

improved count of the category ‘‘Other, income verification.’’ The data using the old procedures should be used,

however, when trying to measure historical change, especially between 1997 and 1999. Under the new tabulation

procedure, there are 517,000 units that are classified as

‘‘Other, income verification’’ that under the old procedure

were classified as:

• Renter control: 149,000

• Rent control not reported: 137,000

• Reduced by owner: 14,000

• Owner reduction not reported: 1,000

• Subsidy not reported: 216,000

Also, under the new tabulation procedure, there are

149,000 units that are classified as ‘‘Not reduced by

owner’’ that were classified as ‘‘Other, income verification’’

under the old procedure.

2004. The question, ‘‘Was that wall-to-wall carpeting

installed over existing, finished flooring, or was that put

down over bare sub-flooring, such as concrete or unfinished wood?’’ was no longer asked. The question, ‘‘In the

last two years, have you installed any wall-to-wall carpeting?’’ was still part of the survey.

Rooms in unit.

1984. The number of year-round units with one or two

rooms in the United States dropped from 4,056,000 in

1983 to 2,486,000 in 1985. As a result, the median number of rooms per unit increased from 5.1 to 5.3; this does

not necessarily indicate an increase in the average size of

housing units. In the 1983 AHS, 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 1984 and later surveys,

respondents were asked for a count of each specific type

of room. The answers to these questions were then added

together in the tabulations to provide a total count of

rooms. Far fewer rooms were 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 have been double counted. For

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

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

actually exists.

1997. Unfinished rooms were excluded from the published total number of rooms, but the count of unfinished

rooms was available separately in the microdata. Respondents were asked for the number of rooms not only by

type of room, but also by floor. Research had shown this

approach was helpful for large homes, but it may have

caused confusion and double counting in small homes.

1997, 1998, and 1999. The data for rooms published in

1997 and 1998 are not comparable to the data published

in 1999 and before 1997. The approach used in 1997 and

1998 resulted in a much lower count of one-room housing

units and housing units with no bedroom as shown in

Table C-9.

The 1997–98 approach had the respondent count each

type of room for each floor of the housing unit for a total

of up to five floors (the fifth includes five or more floors).

For example, a count of the total number of bedrooms

was obtained for the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth

floors. These counts were then added together to get a

total count of bedrooms. This same procedure was followed for each type of room (living room, dining room,

family room etc.). The final room counts were then added

together to get a total for the housing unit. In addition, a

special probe at very small units (those with no bedrooms,

baths or half bath, and kitchens) asked if any of these

rooms were missed. These procedures evidently produced

larger counts of rooms for the smaller units. The low

counts in 1997 and 1998 of one-room units and units having no bedrooms do not reflect any change in the characteristics of the housing inventory that might have

occurred between these years and earlier or later years.

Housing units that should have been counted as one-room

units or as having no bedrooms in 1997 and 1998 were

counted as having more than one room and/or having one

or more bedrooms.

In 1999, the procedure was changed. The room counts by

floor were eliminated. Room counts of each type were collected for the housing unit as a whole. These room counts

were added together to produce a total count of rooms.

C-16 Appendix C

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Also, the probe was modified to ensure that one-room

units were not underreported. If the respondent reported

that there were no bedrooms, no kitchens, and zero to

one living room in the unit, the field representative did not

probe about these rooms. The field representative also did

not ask the respondent for a count of family rooms, recreation rooms, dens, laundry rooms, or any other furnished

or unfurnished rooms. This reduced the possibility of a

one-room unit being counted as a two-or-more room unit

by erroneously reporting multiple uses of the same room

(e.g., counting a one-room unit as having a living room

and a bedroom because the only room was being used as

both). The 1999 data for the United States are an improvement over what were collected in 1997 and 1998, but still

may not be entirely comparable to the data collected prior

to 1997.

2001. The range for ‘‘Other finished rooms’’ was

increased from ‘‘0 to 5’’ to ‘‘0 to 10.’’

Rooms used for business.

1999. As a result of a data collection error, data for this

item in 1997 and 1998 were not published. In 1999, the

previously suppressed items were corrected and published.

Sample.

1985. A new sample was chosen for the national survey

from the 1980 census. The previous sample, selected from

the 1970 census, was used from 1973–83. To the degree

that the coverage of housing units is different between the

1970 and the 1980 censuses, comparisons of the results

of the 1973–83 surveys with the results of the 1985 and

later surveys may be affected.

1987. Houston had a new sample based on the 1980 census because AHS sampling techniques did not accommodate its rapid annexations. The previous sample was

based on the 1970 census.

1995. A new sample was chosen for the metropolitan surveys from the 1990 census, except in six areas that were

covered as part of the 1995 national survey, and therefore

have samples based on the 1980 census. The previous

metropolitan samples, based on the 1970 census, were

used from 1974–94.

All samples are updated continuously to cover new construction. See also the topic ‘‘Weighting’’ and the discussion of ‘‘Sample design’’ in Appendix B.

Sample size.

1995. The item ‘‘sample size’’ was added to Table 2-1 of

published books. The sample size shown in the book is

the unweighted count of the actual sample cases. See

Appendix B for a more detailed explanation on sample

design.

School. See the topic ‘‘Public elementary school.’’

Selected geographic areas.

1995. The published data for the item ‘‘Selected Geographic Areas’’ in Table 2-1 were found to be incorrect for

four of the 1995 metropolitan reports because of errors in

processing. Corrected data can be obtained by writing to

the Housing and Household Economic Statistics Division,

U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233, or by calling

301-763-3235. The problems with the data were as follows:

Chicago. The data for the three counties not listed in

‘‘Selected Geographic Areas’’ were incorrectly distributed

among the data for the five counties that were listed. All

published county data for Chicago were incorrect.

New York. The data for the three counties not listed in

‘‘Selected Geographic Areas’’ were incorrectly added to the

data for the last county listed, Westchester County. Published data for the first seven counties listed were correct.

Data for Westchester County were incorrect.

Northern New Jersey. The data for the first ten counties

listed were published correctly. Data for the last county

listed, Union County, was incorrectly left off the table.

Philadelphia. No data were published for Philadelphia.

Selected Subareas and Selected Geographic Areas.

2002. In the occupied chapters of the following 2002

American Housing Survey (AHS) publications, the data are

incorrect for the boxhead columns ‘‘Selected Subareas’’

and the stub item ‘‘Selected Geographic Areas.’’ The metropolitan areas involved are: Anaheim-Santa Ana, CA; Buffalo, NY; Dallas, TX; Fort Worth-Arlington, TX; Milwaukee,

WI; Phoenix, AZ; Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA; and

San Diego, CA.

A processing error resulted in a significant number of

cases not being tallied under the ‘‘Selected Subareas’’ columns and for the stub item ‘‘Selected Geographic Areas.’’

The data shown in the publications are underestimates for

these items. The processing errors were corrected.

Although there are no plans to issue new paper copies of

the publications, revised PDF copies can be seen on the

Internet at the U.S. Census Bureau’s Web site

<www.census.gov/prod/www/abs/h170sma.html>.

Severe and moderate problems.

1989. The data concerning units with severe and moderate problems in the 1989 national survey (1990 metropolitan surveys) and beyond are not comparable with similar

data published earlier. See the topic ‘‘Plumbing facilities.’’

Units lacking complete plumbing facilities are included in

the count of units with severe physical problems. The

number of units with severe physical problems may have

been underestimated during the 1985–89 national

(1984–90 metropolitan) time period. During the same time

period, units with moderate problems may have been

overestimated.

Sewage disposal breakdowns.

1998. There was an error in the computer program for

the laptop in 1997. As a result, data on sewage disposal

breakdowns were collected for only 95 percent of the eligible households. Although the universe was incomplete,

the data were published because the households answering the questions did so correctly. In 1998, the error was

corrected and all eligible households were asked the questions.

Source of water.

1992. In 1985–91, respondents were asked if the source

of water for their homes was a public or private system,

an individual well, or some other source. Interviewer

instructions specified that the question was concerned

about the water used for cooking and drinking. This

instruction was not read to the respondent. In 1992, the

question changed and the interviewer instructions became

part of the question. From 1992 forward, the number of

units reporting ‘‘Some other source of water’’ increased,

apparently as a result of the wording change in 1992.

Therefore, data from 1985–91 and 1992 and later should

be compared with caution.

1995. The title of this item changed to ‘‘Primary source of

water,’’ and the usage restriction ‘‘for cooking and drinking’’ was deleted from the question.

Statistical areas.

1995. Beginning in 1995, the item ‘‘Statistical Areas’’ is no

longer published in the metropolitan reports because of

the complexity of matching geographic files over long

periods of time.

Stories in structure.

1987, 1989, and 1997. See the topic ‘‘Buildings and

neighborhood.’’

Telephone interviewing.

1981. Beginning in 1981, decentralized telephone interviewing was conducted in the national survey for a sample

of units that were in sample during the previous enumeration. As a result of analysis conducted in both 1981 and

1983, the Census Bureau 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 topics ‘‘Buildings and neighborhood’’ and ‘‘Computer

assisted interviewing.’’

Time sharing.

1993. A programming error was discovered and corrected

for the item ‘‘Time sharing.’’ In the 1991 national survey,

the wrong universe was used. As a result, the published

1991 estimates of time-shared units were too low. Use

caution when making comparisons with the 1991 AHS

national survey and later national surveys.

Trash, litter, or junk on streets or any property.

1987, 1989, and 1997. See the topic ‘‘Buildings and

neighborhood.’’

Units in structure.

1984. From 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 1984 and

beyond, data on units in structure were based on the

respondent’s answers to a series of questions. The

method of collecting units-in-structure data was revised

because previous AHS experience showed the concept to

be difficult for the respondents. Respondents particularly

had difficulty distinguishing between single-family,

attached, and multiunit structures.

As a result of this change, the estimated number of oneunit attached structures declined in some MSAs between

interview dates of 1984 and later, compared with interview dates prior to 1984. It is estimated that 1974

through 1983 AHS-MS surveys, on average, overestimated

the numbers of one-unit, attached structures by approximately 25 percent. The level of overestimation may vary

significantly between metropolitan areas. Units incorrectly

classified as one-unit, attached in previous survey years

are, in 1984 and beyond, correctly classified as being in

multiunit structures.

The Census Bureau estimated that the 1983 AHS-National

sample overestimated single-family, detached units by

125,000 and single-family, attached units by 696,000. The

1983 AHS-National sample underestimated units in multiunit structures by approximately 898,000. Table C-10 provides revised levels of 1983–85 growth by adding 1983

overestimates and subtracting 1983 underestimates to the

1983–85 change shown in Table C-11.

Urban, rural, and population.

1985. From 1973–83, national books and data files use

1970 populations and 1971 boundaries to define urban

and rural areas. Starting in 1985, national books and data

files use 1980 populations and 1981 boundaries. 1990

and 1991 data are never used for this topic. (This topic

only applies to national surveys, not metropolitan surveys.)

1989. Two procedures were introduced that attempt to

correct the overreporting of electricity and gas costs in the

AHS. In the first procedure, respondents were asked the

amount of the electricity and/or gas bill for the previous

months of January, April, August, and December. These

months were the best predictors of annual costs. If the

respondent provided data for at least 3 of the 4 months

(1 month for recent movers), the results were used to provide an annual estimate of costs. This estimate was then

divided by 12 to provide average monthly costs.

The backup procedure was applied to the remaining units.

If the respondents did not know the amount of their electricity and/or gas bills for at least 3 of the 4 months, their

estimate of average monthly costs was used. A factor was

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

the total cost from all households consistent with electricity and gas costs reported in the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) sponsored by the U.S. Department

of Energy.

Before 1989, respondents were asked only to provide an

estimate of average monthly costs. Research done using

the 1987 AHS showed that this approach produces 15 to

20 percent overestimates of electricity and gas costs. The

new procedures in 1989 and later 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.

1993. The procedures introduced in 1989 were improved

and expanded from two to three procedures. All respondents were asked if they had records available showing

their costs for electricity (or gas) separate from other utilities. If they responded ‘‘yes,’’ they were asked the amount

of their electricity (or gas) bill for the most recent months

of January, April, August, and December. On average, more

than one-third of the respondents provided answers for at

least 1 of the 4 months.

If the respondent provided data for 2, 3, or 4 months, the

following procedure was used. The monthly data were

adjusted using regression formulas, modeled after the

results of the RECS, sponsored by the Department of

Energy, to estimate yearly costs that were then divided by

12.

If the respondent provided data for only 1 month, the following procedure was used. The data for the month were

adjusted using regression formulas to estimate yearly

costs that were then divided by 12. Because only 1 month

of real cost was provided, these formulas modeled after

the RECS results also took into account the following characteristics of the unit: electric home heating, natural gas

home heating, electric water heating, natural gas water

heating, year built, type of unit, number of rooms, number

of bathrooms, number of appliances, and number of

household members.

If the respondent answered ‘‘no,’’ that he or she did not

have separate records for the electricity (or gas), the same

backup procedure was used as described for 1989.

Utilities.

1993. The procedures introduced in 1989 were improved

and expanded from two to three procedures.

Three separate procedures are used to estimate monthly

costs of electricity and gas. All respondents are asked if

they have records available showing their costs for electricity (or gas) separate from other utilities. If they respond

‘‘yes,’’ they are asked the amount of their electric (or gas)

bill for the most recent recent months of January, April,

August, and December. These months are the best predictors of annual costs. On average, more than one-third of

respondents provide answers for at least 1 of the 4

months.

If the respondent provides data for only 1 month, the first

procedure is used. The data for the month are adjusted

using regression formulas to estimate yearly costs that are

then divided by 12. These formulas are derived from the

Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) sponsored

by the U.S. Department of Energy. These formulas take

into account the following characteristics of the unit: the

census division where it is located, electric heat, electric

water heating, natural gas heat, natural gas water heating,

year built, type of unit, number of rooms, number of bathrooms, number of appliances, and number of household

members.

If the respondent provides data for 2, 3, or 4 months, the

second procedure is used. As with the first procedure, the

monthly data are adjusted using regression formulas,

derived from the RECS data, to estimate yearly costs that

are then divided by 12. Because more than 1 month’s

worth of real costs are available, it is rarely necessary to

take into account detailed characteristics of the unit as is

Appendix C C-19

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
done in procedure one. (In some cases where 2 months of

data are provided, detailed characteristics of the unit are

taken into account.)

If the respondent answers ‘‘no,’’ that he or she does not

have separate records for the electricity (or gas), the

respondent is asked to provide an estimate of the average

monthly costs. In this case, a procedure similar to the first

is used. As in the case where 1 month of billing data is

provided, the reported monthly average is adjusted using

regression formulas derived from the RECS data, that take

into account both the reported amount of electricity

charges and detailed characteristics of the unit.

Finally, a factor is then applied to the electricity and gas

costs to benchmark them to RECS averages. A full explanation of the formulas is in Appendix E of Codebook for

the American Housing Survey, Volume 3. .

‘‘Weighting.’’

1984. See the topic ‘‘Housing costs and value.’’

Weighting. Appendix B describes the process of weighting the data to represent the country as accurately as possible. The last steps in weighting involve ratios to make

AHS data match other sources. Table C-12 shows that the

sources of these control totals have changed.

Table C-15 (at the end of this section) compares basic

housing unit characteristics using 1980 and 1990 weights.

1979–83. The 1980-based national 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 should be comparable throughout 1973–83.

1985. The 1980 census count of occupied units in the

United States was adjusted for undercount and projected

to 1985 using the 1980–85 Current Population Survey’s

rate of change. The Census Bureau then ratio-estimated

the 1985 AHS-National sample to this number. 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, all vacant units were adjusted for undercount for the

first time. This adjustment added 400,000 vacant units

(98,000 seasonal units and 302,000 year-round vacant

units) to the housing inventory.

Beginning with 1985, national estimates of mobile homes

with a model year of 1980 or later were ratio-estimated

into independent counts of mobile home placements from

the Survey of Mobile Home Placements. The counts of

mobile homes for 1983 and earlier years may be too low

and lead to unrealistically high estimates of change

between 1985 and earlier years. For example, occupied

mobile homes grew from 3,999,000 in 1983 to 4,754,000

in 1985, an increase of 755,000. This level of growth

seems excessive as data from the Survey of Mobile Home

Placements show approximately 570,000 new mobile

homes placed for residential use during the same time

period.

1991. On average, the 1990-based national weighting

produces numbers that are about 2.5 percent lower than

1980-based weighting. This effect is not equally distributed among all types of units. Table C-13 shows the

effects of the weighting change by region for the year

1991.

Table C-14 presents counts of occupied homes using

1990-based weighting. This weighting is consistent with

the weighting used to produce the 1991 and later detailed

tables in Chapters 1 through 10 of the national books.

These data should be used when measuring the change in

the size of the occupied inventory. These data provide the

most accurate count of the total number of occupied

homes in the United States for the years 1985, 1987, and

1989.

2001. Table C-16 compares the switch from using 1980

census-based geography to 1990 census-based geography, which affected several steps in the weighting procedures and the geography data items used in those steps.

However, data on the 2001 microdata file are weighted

using 1980 census-based geography. For more details,

refer to the ‘‘Estimates’’ section of Appendix B.

2003. In 2003, the independent estimates (control totals)

used to produce the weights were based on Census 2000

with an estimate of change since then. This 2000-based

weighting produces, on average, estimates that are about

1.0 percent lower than 1990-based weighting.

The 2003 AHS-N estimates are not available using 1990-

based weighting. For comparative purposes, 2001 data

were produced using 2000-based weighting (the original

data products used 1990-based weighting). As can be

seen in Table C-15, the switch from 1990-based to 2000-

based weighting produced a 1.0 percent lower estimate

for 2001 at the United States level. The effect of the

weighting change ranged from a 2 percent drop in the

West to two-tenths of a percent increase in the Northeast.

Summary characteristics of the housing inventory for

2001 using 2000-based weighting are shown in

Table C-17. These data should be used when comparing

the 2001 AHS to the 2003 AHS. Detailed 2001 AHS-N

data using 2000-based weighting are available from the

Housing and Household Economic Statistics Division,

Wiring.

1997. Plastic coverings began to be counted as acceptable, along with metal coverings, because the building

industry accepts them. This change should reduce the

count of ‘‘exposed wiring’’ reported in 1995.

Year householder moved into unit.

1999. A change was made in the way data for the year

the householder moved in was processed. This change

allows the year the householder moved in to be earlier

than the year the structure was built for mobile homes.

The change was made to accommodate mobile home

householders who purchased a new mobile home but

were still living in the same site, making the year their

structure was built later than the year they moved in.

Errors

All numbers from the American Housing Survey (AHS),

except for sample size, are estimates. As in other surveys,

errors come primarily from the following sources:

• Incomplete data (Incomplete data are adjusted by

assuming that the respondents are similar to those not

answering, and the size of these errors is estimated.)

• Wrong answers (The U.S. Census Bureau does not adjust

for wrong answers and does not estimate the size of the

errors.)

• Sampling (Sampling errors are not adjusted and the size

of the error is estimated.)

Incomplete data and wrong answers are usually the largest source of errors, larger than sampling errors. For

example, in the American Housing Survey-National

(AHS-N), the changes in weighting in 1991 and 2003 (see

Appendix C) corrected some of the error due to incomplete data; that one correction averaged 2.5 percent in

1991 and 1.0 percent in 2003. Worse errors from incomplete data and from wrong answers apply to some items,

discussed below.

Additional information on the quality of AHS data can be

obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Housing

Survey: A Quality Profile, Series H121/95-1.

INCOMPLETE DATA

Coverage errors. Because of deficiencies with the Census Bureau’s sampling lists, the homes in the survey do

not represent all homes in the country. The Census Bureau

attempts to adjust for the deficiencies by raising the raw

numbers from the survey proportionally so that the numbers published here match independent estimates of the

total number of homes (see Appendix B, ‘‘Independent

total housing unit ratio estimation’’). The approximate

housing unit undercoverage rates for the 2004 metropolitan areas range from 1.5 percent to 10.3 percent. Table

D-1 lists units that have known coverage deficiencies.

Missing data. Some people refuse the interview or some

of the questions, or do not know the answers. When the

entire interview is missing, other similar interviews represent the missing ones (see Appendix B). For most missing

answers, an answer from a similar household is copied.1

The Census Bureau does not know how close the imputed

months before interviewing or homes built

In addition, eligible units could be missed

and ineligible units included because of

incorrect answers to questions used to screen

out ineligible units.

example, college campuses, prisons, etc.)

Conversions from nonresidential units1970-based metropolitan areas: Nonresidential units at the time of the 1970 census that

converted to residential units were missed.

Within-structure additions Some extra apartments created illegally or

occupied by fugitives are probably missed

because people do not report them for fear

of penalities.

and ineligible units included because of

incorrect answers to the screening questions.

values are to the actual values. For other items, ‘‘not

reported’’ is used as an answer category. The items with

the most missing data are primarily those that people forget or consider personal: mortgages, other housing costs,

and income.

Incompleteness can cause large errors since, when even

10 percent of homes do not answer a particular question,

they represent about 10 million homes that have to be

estimated. The survey estimates adjust for them by

assuming that they are like some group of homes that did

give data. This assumption is never exactly true, although

it is usually better than ignoring the homes with the missing data. Thus, it is not surprising that large biases, as

1

Hot deck allocation is used: an answer is copied from the

most recently processed similar household before the household

with the missing item.

Appendix D D-1

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
shown in Table D-2, 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.2

Rates of completeness were not computed for 2004. Table

2 in Appendix D of American Housing Survey for the

United States in 1995 gives the completeness rates for

1995. Due to the change in data collection methodology,

the rates for 2004 may be higher or lower than in the

past. However, the items that were most incomplete in

1995 are probably still the most incomplete for 2004.

Effect on income. The nonsampling errors interact particularly badly for income. Income questions are inconsistently answered (Table D-3), incompletely answered, and

the totals fall short of totals known from the National

Income Accounts, especially for the elderly.3

Change over time. Several aspects of the AHS make

estimates of change from previous data unreliable. These

changes may elicit different answers from the past, even if

nothing changed in the housing unit. Wording and question order for most questions changed over time. As

described in Appendix C, the questionnaire now runs on

interviewers’ portable computers, resulting in the following possible changes:

• The correct questions should be asked. Skip patterns

are be followed more accurately.

• Inconsistent answers (such as reporting a move-in date

before the date built) are probed during the interview,

rather than just being changed in later computer processing, so these problems should be resolved more

accurately.

• Some respondents may dislike the presence of the computer, though interviewers do not report such problems.

• It is now a little harder for interviewers to go back to a

question much earlier in the questionnaire if a respondent suddenly remembers something to be changed.

• For some questions, large changes from prior year data

are probed during the interview to reduce mistaken

measurement of change.

WRONG ANSWERS

Wrong answers happen because people misunderstand

questions, cannot recall the correct answer, or do not want

to give the right answer. Table D-3 shows which items

have been measured for inconsistency when people are

reinterviewed after a few weeks. The survey did not catch

and reconcile these inconsistencies, and continuously

occurring errors are not measured at all. Thus, 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. For the 2004 AHS-MS,

the wording for some questions changed. These changes

were expected to lower the level of inconsistency for the

changed items. The numbers in Table D-3 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 create

wrong results and mean that data on groups (for example,

income groups) are infected with data from people who

really are not like the group at all. Errors are especially

troublesome for rare items where even small errors overwhelm the true data. Readers should be wary of drawing

firm conclusions from items with high inconsistency or

from categories smaller than a few million homes.

SAMPLING ERRORS

Sampling errors definition. Error from sampling

reflects how estimates from a sample vary from the actual

value. (Note: ‘‘Actual value’’ means the value derived if all

housing units had been interviewed under the same conditions, rather than only a sample). A confidence interval is

a range that contains the actual value with a specified

probability. The range of nonsampling error is usually

larger than this confidence interval.

2

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 1.645 x .0363 x (lesser of A or U-A) where ‘‘A’’ is any count

from the AHS and U is the total number of housing units in the

United States or metropolitan area (both in thousands, result also

in thousands). Weights are adjusted to reduce these errors, but it

is not known how much error remains. See ‘‘Where to Get AHS

Data’’ in How Response Error, Missing Data and Undercoverage

Bias Survey Data, order number HUD-6458. This is available from

HUD USER. 3

Data are in the Codebook for the American Housing Survey

Volume 1, available from HUD USER. Newer comparisons, though

for a different survey, are in Money Income of Households, Families, and Persons in the United States: 1992, Series P60-184,

pages C12-C14, available from the Superintendent of Documents

(see ‘‘Where to Get AHS Data’’ in this publication).

D-2 Appendix D

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Census Bureau
Counts. Most numbers from the AHS are counts of housing units (for example, units with basements or units with

an elderly person). These counts have error from sampling. As with the other types of errors, readers should be

wary of numbers with large errors from sampling.

Table D-4 gives a list of errors for a range of numbers for

the 2004 AHS-MS metropolitan areas. For numbers not

found in this table, interpolate between the numbers in

the table or use the appropriate formula from Table D-5

for the 2004 AHS-MS metropolitan areas. In each formula,

‘‘A’’ is a number (a count of units in thousands) from the

AHS. Remember in any case that the total error is larger

than sampling error.

For example, suppose there are 320,000 owner-occupied

housing units in the Atlanta, GA MSA (that is, A = 320).

The error from sampling for a 90-percent confidence interval for those 320,000 owner-occupied housing units is

1.645 × √(.440 × 320) − [(.000254) × (320 × 320)] =17.6

The 90-percent confidence interval can then be formed by

adding and subtracting this error to the survey estimate of

320 (that is, 320 ± 17.6). Statements such as ‘‘the actual

value is in the range 320 plus or minus 17.6 (that is,

302.4 to 337.6)’’ are right 90 percent of the time and

wrong 10 percent of the time.

Numbers in the book are printed in thousands, so 320

means 320,000. The formulas are designed to use numbers directly from the book; do not add zeros. The result

is also in thousands, so 17.6 means 17,600.

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

larger group. For AHS-MS metropolitan areas, use the

appropriate formula in Table D-6. In each formula, p is the

percent and A is the denominator, or base of the percent

in thousands.

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

confidence interval for 40 percent of 320 non-mobile

home units (meaning 320,000) is:

1.645  .440  40  100  40

320  3.0

Statements such as ‘‘the actual percent is in the range 37.0

percent to 43.0 percent’’ are right 90 percent of the time.

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.4

Medians. The steps in Table D-7 calculate the error from

sampling for a 90-percent confidence interval for medians.

This is an approximation to the error.

For small bases, the confidence interval on medians cannot be estimated reliably. To estimate a median’s sampling

error more accurately, find the sampling error on 50 percent, as described in Table D-8, and compute the

90-percent confidence interval.

Differences. Two numbers from the AHS, 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.5

Formulas for error from sampling. The letter ‘‘A’’ in

the formulas in Tables D-5, D-6, D-7, and D-8 represents a

number (a count of units in thousands) from AHS (see the

‘‘Counts’’ section for an example of how ‘‘A’’ is used).

For a 90-percent confidence interval on zero for the 2004

AHS-MS, refer to Table D-4 where the size of the estimate

is zero. If a formula gives an error smaller than the error

for zero, use the error for zero.

The formulas give the errors for a 90-percent confidence

interval. For a 95-percent confidence interval, multiply by

1.960 instead of 1.645; for a 99-percent confidence interval, multiply by 2.576 instead of 1.645.

4

The error from sampling for a 90-percent confidence interval

for a ratio C/D is C/D√(error for C/C)

2 + (error for D/D)2

, where

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. 5

When ranges of error from sampling for a 90-percent confidence interval do overlap, numbers are still statistically different

if the result of subtracting one from the other is more than

√(error for first number)

2 ± (error for second number)2

. The error

for the first and second numbers should be interpreted as the

error for a 90-percent confidence interval for the first and second

numbers, respectively.

Levels are in percents. They are nearly the same as 100 minus the correlation between answers in the original interview and the reinterview a

month later. For example, an inconsistency of 80 means a correlation of 20 percent, which is not good. 2

Parentheses show 95-percent confidence intervals (used in 1988 and before).

3

Measured in national surveys (N) or metropolitan surveys (MS).

4

CATI is computer-assisted telephone interviewing; where shown, inconsistency was measured separately for CATI and non-CATI interviews.

The formulas in the table are based on 1.645 times the errors from sampling. This formula gives 90-percent confidence interval errors. For

95-percent confidence interval errors, multiply by 1.96 instead of 1.645; for 99-percent confidence, multiply by 2.58 instead of 1.645. 2

Some items (for example, characteristic of total housing units) may involve housing units from both the mobile home and non-mobile home

universe. The formulas for all other estimates should be used for these items. The formulas for mobile home estimates should be used for items that

only involve housing units from the mobile home universe.

These formulas are equivalent to 1.645  (p  (1p)) /n. For example, for all other estimates in the Atlanta, GA metropolitan area, .440/A

adjusts the data to the effective sample size. 2

Some items (for example, characteristic of total housing units) may involve housing units from both the mobile home and non-mobile home universe. The formulas for all other estimates should be used for these items. The formulas for mobile home estimates should be used for items that

only involve housing units from the mobile home universe.

Note: To obtain an appropriate value for K, multiply the numerator of the formula for computing the error from sampling for 50 percent by a factor

of .01. Refer to Table D-6 for the appropriate formula for AHS-MS metropolitan areas. For example, for estimates consisting of only mobile homes in

the Atlanta, GA MSA, K = .01  (1.645  .660  50  50 )= .668 and for all other estimates in Atlanta, K =.546.
