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 which

would permit identification of individuals will be held in

strict confidence. Such information may be seen only by

sworn Census Bureau employees and may be used only

for statistical purposes. Section 214 of Title 13 sets penalties for disclosing confidential information. Unauthorized

disclosure of individual information by a sworn Census

Bureau employee is punishable by a fine of up to $5,000

or imprisonment of up to 5 years, or both. The Census

Bureau is authorized under Title 31, Section 1535 of the

U.S. Code, to perform specialwork or services for other

Federalagencies.

Contents of book. This book presents data on apartments; single-family homes; 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. The time periods involved varied among the metropolitan areas, although the majority

of the interviewing occurred in the second half of the year.

The sample sizes for the metropolitan areas range from

4,400 to 4,800 addresses. See Appendix B for details.

CAUTIONS

Sampling and nonsampling errors. The numbers in

this book have errors from sampling and other causes

(incomplete data, wrong answers, etc.). Appendix D gives

detailed formulas to calculate sampling errors for a wide

range of items. Appendix D also gives some estimates of

nonsampling errors.

Undercoverage. All demographic surveys, including the

American Housing Survey-Metropolitan Sample (AHS-MS),

suffer from undercoverage. This undercoverage results

from missed housing units and missed persons within

sample households. Compared to the level of the 1990

decennialcensus, housing-unit undercoverage ranges by

metropolitan statistical area (MSA) from less than 1 percent to 4.4 percent. This undercoverage also varies by

age, ethnicity, and race of householder; however, estimates of undercoverage for these characteristics are

unavailable. For some, household composition (e.g., persons per household), persons per room, square feet per

person, and income characteristics, AHS-MS estimates are

affected by missed persons within sample households. We

do not know the effect of this within-household undercoverage on these characteristics. The weighting procedures

used for AHS-MS partially correct for the bias due to

housing-unit undercoverage, but not within-household

undercoverage. The finalimpact on estimates is unknown.

For details on the weighting, see Appendix B.

Income and poverty. Historically, the AHS underreports

income and overreports poverty when compared with the

Current Population Survey (CPS). Both surveys underreport

income and consequently overreport poverty when compared with tax returns and nationalincome accounts. The

AHS households mention fewer sources of income than

those in the CPS sample. 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,’’ 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 Table A.

DATA AVAILABILITY

The AHS data are presented nationally as well as for

major selected metropolitan areas (see Table A). Table A

shows the sources for obtaining AHS data, the product

xi

U.S. Census Bureau
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 CD-ROMs so that data can be

tabulated in any way desired. Microdata are also available

on the Internet. Contact HHES for more details. To protect

the confidentiality of the respondent; names, addresses,

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 books.

AMERICAN HOUSING SURVEY FOR THE TAMPAmST. PETERSBURG METROPOLITAN AREA: 1998 209

U.S. Census Bureau
Appendix A.

Definitions

Beginning with the 1997 survey, most questions had

new wording, compared with those used in earlier surveys. Also, new question 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 the 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, Box 6091, Rockville, MD 20850

(1-800-245-2691). 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

printed books of summary tables. Some cross references

are provided, and if a specific topic is not located, try

related topics. The definitions apply to books of summary

tables, and also to the computer files (‘‘microdata’’), unless

they are marked ‘‘not applicable.’’

Adults and single children under 18 years old. See

‘‘Household composition.’’

Age of householder. The age 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.’’ ‘‘Older than sample

unit’’ and ‘‘Younger than sample unit’’ indicate that the

sample unit appears to be decidedly newer or older than

the homes within 300 feet. ‘‘Very mixed’’ indicates the

ages vary. If there are no other residential buildings within

300 feet, ‘‘No other residential buildings’’ is marked.

Amenities. See ‘‘Selected amenities.’’

Amount of savings and investments. These data are

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.

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

house (and lot, except on 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 ‘‘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.

Buildings. See ‘‘Bars on windows of buildings,’’ ‘‘Common

stairways,’’ ‘‘External building conditions,’’ ‘‘Year structure

built.’’

Business. See ‘‘Income,’’ ‘‘Other activities on property,’’

‘‘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

APPENDIX A A-1

U.S. Census Bureau
books, 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 are 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.’’

Census. See ‘‘Comparability with Census of Population

and Housing data in 1990.’’

Central cities.

National books 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 to measure change consistently over time.

Books and microdata. 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 one-third the size of the metropolitan

statistical area’s largest city and met the two commuting

requirements.

See also ‘‘Places’’ and ‘‘Urban and rural residence.’’

Change in housing costs. Housing costs include mortgage and rent payment, real estate taxes, insurance,

upkeep of place, utilities, homeowner membership fees,

land rent, and mobile home park fees. For the householder

and those who moved with the householder (from the

same place at the same time), comparison is made of the

share paid in the previous unit with the share paid in the

present residence. The wording in the questionnaire is

‘‘their share, if not whole household,’’ so there may be

some ambiguity for someone who used to pay 50 percent

of $100 and now pays 50 percent of $600, but this is

intended to count as increased rent.

Choice of present home and home 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 home: (1) whether the

respondent looked at both houses/mobile homes and

apartments; (2) the reasons the respondent chose the

present house or apartment; and (3) the main reason the

present house or apartment was chosen. The distribution

for choice of present home may not add to the total, as

the respondent was not limited to one response. See ‘‘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, as the respondent was not limited to one response.

Common stairways. Common stairways are usually 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. The statistics on common

stairways 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.

Commuting. See ‘‘Journey to work’’ and ‘‘Neighborhood

conditions and neighborhood services.’’

Comparability with Census of Population and Housing data in 1990. The concepts and definitions are

largely the same for items that appear in the 1990 Census

of Population and Housing with the following main exceptions.

In the AHS, recent movers are householders that moved

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

the 1990 Census of Housing on mover households, the

time period was from January 1, 1989, through March 31,

1990, a period of 15 months or less.

In the AHS, units are classified as new construction if

the unit was constructed 4 years or less from the date of

the interview. In the 1990 census, units are classified as

new construction if constructed in 1985 through 1990.

Data on poverty level in the 1990 census do not contain the income of household members unrelated to the

householder. In the AHS, data on poverty level include the

income of all household members whether or not they are

related to the householder (see ‘‘Poverty status’’).

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

months prior to interview for those household members

A-2 APPENDIX A

U.S. Census Bureau
aged 14 years and older. The 1990 census income data

are for calendar year 1989 and for income of household

members 15 years and older.

Differences between the AHS data and the 1990 census

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 the 1990 census. 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.

Conditions 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, deep ruts, etc. 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 any 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

paid by the cooperative for real estate taxes, mortgage

interest, and operating cost. In the books, medians for

condominiums 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 Metropolitan areas.

Construction. See ‘‘Comparability with Current Construction Reports from the Survey of Construction’’ and ‘‘ Year

structure built.’’

Cooling degree days. See ‘‘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, elevators, etc.

Cooperative or condominium ownership may apply to

various types of structures including single-family houses,

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

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.

Cost. See ‘‘Annual taxes paid per $1,000 value,’’ ‘‘Change

in housing costs,’’ ‘‘Real estate taxes,’’ ‘‘Monthly housing

costs,’’ ‘‘Other housing costs per month,’’ ‘‘Mortgages currently on property.’’

Crime. See Neighborhood crime, a subtopic under:

‘‘Neighborhood conditions and neighborhood services.’’

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

APPENDIX A A-3

U.S. Census Bureau
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 primary individual 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 entered the jobmarket,

retired, changed jobs, or moved often had a previous

year’s income which 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

books, medians for current interest rate are rounded to

the nearest tenth of a percent.

Current total loan as percent of value.

Books. This percentage is computed by dividing the outstanding principal amount by the value of the housing

unit. Medians for loan as a percent of value are rounded to

the nearest tenth of a percent.

Microdata. Not applicable.

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-ormore story) multiunit buildings, and mobile homes.

The category ‘‘Commercial and institutional; industrial

buildings or factories’’ includes all varieties of nonresidential structures—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’’ include cemeteries, golf courses, woods, forest preserves, vacant lots,

undeveloped land, airport land, ball fields, school fields,

etc.

Down payment. See ‘‘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’’ included people

who received either a high school diploma or the equivalent; for example, passed the Test of General Educational

Development [G.E.D] and did not attend college. The category ‘‘Associate degree’’ includes people whose highest

degree is an associate 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 books, to obtain the total number of householders who are high school graduates, add 1) high school

graduates (includes equivalency), 2) graduates with some

college, no degree, 3) with an associate 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 ‘‘Neighborhood conditions and neighborhood

services.’’

Elderly.

Books. Data for elderly include all households with householders aged 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

A-4 APPENDIX A

U.S. Census Bureau
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 ‘‘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 are in working order or the household plans 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.

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. Beginning 1997, only data for microwave

ovens were collected.

Burners. Only burners built into a stove or counter top are

counted, including burners in a wood-burning stove.

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, hand-turned spin

dryers, etc.

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 a 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 a central 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 was 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 were included.

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

or missing shingles, tiles, slate, shake, tin, etc., 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 were not counted unless

the construction had been abandoned.

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

applies to the exterior wall (including chimney) of the

structure. Those defects may have been caused by storm,

fire, flood, extensive neglect, vandalism, and so forth.

Materials may include clapboard siding, shingles, boards,

brick, concrete, stucco, etc. The missing materials do not

necessarily expose the interior of the unit directly to

weather. Missing materials resulting from construction

activity were not counted unless construction had been

abandoned. ‘‘Sloping outside walls’’ is a critical defect indicating continuous neglect or serious damage to the structure. Only walls with substantial sagging were 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, a metal grating, etc. 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.

Family or primary individual. While any occupant of a

housing unit is called a household member, each household includes either (a) a family, which is the householder

APPENDIX A A-5

U.S. Census Bureau
and all (one or more) other people living in the same

household who are related to the householder by blood,

marriage, or adoption, or (b) 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 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 aged 14 years and older.)

For other household members aged 14 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 ‘‘Household composition.’’

Farm-nonfarm residence.

National microdata. In rural areas, occupied housing units

are classified as farm units if the sales of agricultural products amounted to at least $1,000 during the 12-month

period prior to the interview.

Metropolitan microdata. Not applicable.

First-time owners. If both the owner and any co-owner

have never owned or co-owned another home as a usual

residence then the housing unit was 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 were not counted. The statistics on

breakdowns of flush toilet are shown for housing units

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

The flush toilet may be completely unusable because of a

faulty flushing mechanism, broken pipes, stopped up

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

some other reason.

For households with more than one toilet, the intent of

the question was to ask about times when all toilets were

unusable. The 1997 questionnaire mistakenly asked about

times when the toilet was unusable. The 1997 breakdown

data may therefore include many units where another toilet was indeed usable. This error was corrected in the

1998 survey.

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. Food stamps are government issued coupons

that can be used to purchase food. The food stamp program is a joint federal-state program that is administered

by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 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 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. 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. 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 use in addition and/or

supplementing the main house heating fuel.

Group quarters. See ‘‘Housing units.’’

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

Heating and cooling degree days.

National books 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 is 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 books and microdata. Not applicable.

Heating equipment and heating equipment breakdowns. 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 reported 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.

An 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 refer to units permanently installed in floors,

walls, ceilings, or baseboards. A floor, wall, or other

built-in hot-air unit without ducts 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, which does not connect to

flue, vent, or chimney. Portable electric heater refers to

heaters that receive current from an electrical wall outlet.

Stove refers to cooking ranges or stoves (gas or electric)

manufactured to cook but used as a heating source. It also

includes Solid fuel stove, stoves or Franklin stoves that

burn wood, coal, or other solid fuel. Fireplaces with

inserts have a fan-forced air circulation system to force the

heat into the room. A fireplace without inserts refers to

glass door fire screens or fire backs inserted in the back of

the fireplace to passively reflect heat.

For breakdowns of heating equipment, 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 housing unit was uncomfortably cold for 24

hours or more, the number of times equipment breakdowns occurred lasting 6 hours or more, and causes for

the breakdowns.

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

fault in the equipment. Utility interruptions occur when

there is a 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. Hispanic people may be

of any race. Most identify themselves as White or Black, as

shown in Table 2-1.

Data on Hispanic households shown in the AHS are collected in the 50 states and the District of Columbia and

therefore do not include households living in Puerto Rico.

Home equity loan. Households were asked how many

home equity loans they had. Home equity loans include

both revolving lines of credit and lump sums with a fixed

repayment schedule. The respondent was not given a definition to distinguish between these and most other mortgages. However reverse annuity mortgages were defined

first and excluded. Respondents were asked if each home

equity loan was a line of credit or lump sum, its credit

limit, current balance, the amount of last payment and

interest rate.

Homes currently for sale or rent. See ‘‘Vacancy, seasonality and marketing.’’

APPENDIX A A-7

U.S. Census Bureau
Homes on the market for sale or rent. The data are

presented for owner-occupied units and year-round units

temporarily occupied by people who have a usual residence elsewhere. The classification of the unit refers to

the current action of the owner. The owner may offer the

unit up for rent only, up for rent or for sale, or for sale

only. In addition, the current 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 locations.

By definition, the count of households is the same as

the count of occupied housing units.

Householder. The householder is the first household

member listed on the questionnaire who is an owner or

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

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

contract to purchase, etc. 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 may list the respondent first, so the

respondent will be the householder and can answer the

questions that are asked specifically about the householder, such as data on moves and income sources.

Household composition.

Books. The following categories are published in the

books.

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. The

data are published both ways, in the data tables, so readers can see whether their findings are affected by the

presence of nonrelatives with married couples.

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

(that is 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 of own children. The data are

published for both this definition of children and the definition above (based on age and current marital status), in

different stubitems, 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.

See also ‘‘Persons other than spouse or children’’ and

‘‘Family or primary individual.’’

Household moves and formation.

Books. 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, children

setting out on their own, etc.), and people moving in with

others (marriage, roommates, children moving from one

parent to another, or to a grandparent).

Microdata. Not applicable; researchers may calculate these

and other categories from the data on each person.

A-8 APPENDIX A

U.S. Census Bureau
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 a usual residence: (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 congregate housing 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 and are covered by the

AHS. Military housing for singles is not covered by the

AHS, but housing where civilian family members live is

counted, 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

stage of construction is earlier than the one used in Duration of vacancy (see Vacancy, seasonality, and marketing),

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).

Income. The survey covers total money income in the 12

months before the interview. It covers people aged 14

years and older 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.

APPENDIX A A-9

U.S. Census Bureau
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 definition).

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.

Wage or salary income is received for work performed

as an employee. It includes wages, salary, piece-rate payments, commissions, tips, cash bonuses, and Armed

Forces pay, but not pay that a business owner pays to herself or himself.

Self-employment income is received from a business,

professional practice, partnership, or farm in which the

person was self-employed.

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.

Other income includes alimony or child support from

people who are not members of the household, interest,

dividends, welfare (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, general assistance, Supplemental Security Income

when possible, etc.), annuity payments, net rental income

(or loss), unemployment payments, workers’ compensation cash benefits, scholarships and fellowships that did

not require work (those that did require work are covered

under wages).

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 Current income in this Appendix A, Poverty in

Appendix C, and Effect on income in Appendix D.

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

Insurance. See ‘‘Property insurance.’’

Interest. See ‘‘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 included property taxes,

property insurance, and other charges. Other charges may

include disability insurance, life insurance, etc.

Journey to work. National books and microdata. The

books publish data on householders. The microdata have

similar information on all workers.

Workers. Include all people aged 14 years and older who

held a jobin the United States, any time the week before

the interview.

Householders. Householders who worked last week

include householders who reported having a jobin 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 used 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

include taxicabs, ferryboats, surface trains, van service.

See also ‘‘Neighborhood conditions and neighborhood services.’’

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

minutes reported to usually get from home to work during

the week prior to interview was counted as the travel time

to work. The elapsed time included 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 were those who did not usually work at the same

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

location to begin work each day.

Distance from home to work. This was the one-way, ‘‘doorto-door’’ distance in miles to usually travel 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. Refers to the time (hour and minutes) the respondent left for work. The categories begin

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

Metropolitan books and microdatas. Not applicable.

Kitchen. See ‘‘Equipment.’’

Last used as a permanent residence. See ‘‘Vacancy,

seasonality, and marketing.’’

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

A-10 APPENDIX A

U.S. Census Bureau
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 some, none, 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.

Living quarters. See ‘‘Housing units.’’

Location of previous unit. Books show data for units in

which the householder moved during the past year. 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 Metropolitan

areas). This may not be its current area definition. Since

1993 we have 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.

Lodgers. See ‘‘Household,’’ ‘‘Persons other than spouse or

children,’’ ‘‘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 books, 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 Farmers Home

Administration.

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-month period preceding the acquisition of the present home. Savings, or

cash on hand, includes money drawn from savings, such

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, dissolved

business ventures, etc. Borrowing other than a mortgage

on this property was reported 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 ‘‘Owner or manager on property.’’

Medians.

Books. 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

book (from $400 to $449), has 3 million homes, the

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

interval (at $417).

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.

There is one special case in calculating medians: for

numbers of people or rooms, we assume an interval like 3

means 2.50 to 3.49, so one-third of the way through is

2.83. This method is used rather than just saying that the

median is 3, to give a more detailed picture of the distribution.

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 books).

Microdata. Not applicable; no medians are shown in the

public use file.

Median monthly housing costs for owners.

Books. In addition to the median given in the item

‘‘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.’’ Neither

APPENDIX A A-11

U.S. Census Bureau
of these medians include costs for renter-occupied units,

so 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 Central cities; Places; and Urban, which is based on much higher

population density than metropolitan areas.

National books 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 in order to measure change consistently

over time.

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, and 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 on (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 that part of the sample cases show metropolitan codes. Other sample cases show 9999 as their

metropolitan code. This suppression for confidentiality

does not affect the printed books.

Metropolitan books and microdata. Since 1995 the metropolitan AHS has used HUD definitions of metropolitan

areas. These are based on 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 books for that year.

Mobile homes. A mobile home is defined as a housing

unit that was originally constructed to be towed on its

own chassis. 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.

Mobile homes in group. 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 but not in a mobile home park. See also ‘‘Site placement.’’

Monthly costs for electricity and 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 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

modeled after the results of the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) sponsored by the United States

Department of Energy. These formulas take into account

the following characteristics of the unit: 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 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,

modeled after the results of RECS, to estimate yearly costs

which are then divided by 12. Because more than 1

month’s worth of real costs are available, it is not necessary to take into account detailed characteristics of the

unit as is done in procedure one.

If the respondent answers ‘‘no,’’ that he or she does not

have separate records for the electricity (or gas), the third

procedure is used. The respondent is asked to provide an

estimate of the average monthly costs. A factor is then

applied that, in effect, lowers these costs to make them

consistent with electricity and gas costs in RECS.

A full explanation of the formulas is in Appendix E of

Codebook for the American Housing Survey, Volume 3.

Monthly expenses, additional help with.

Metropolitan books. Not applicable.

Metropolitan 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

A-12 APPENDIX A

U.S. Census Bureau
percent of their income on housing, or rental households

not receiving housing assistance with incomes less than

$15,000 that report spending more than 50 percent of

their income on housing were asked questions on assistance for food, clothing, car payments, tolls, 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 mobile homes, and

mobile home sites if the site is owned), property insurance, homeowner association fees, cooperative or condominium fees, mobile home park fees, land rent, utilities.

Costs do not include maintenance and repairs, but see

‘‘Median monthly housing costs for owners.’’

Renter occupied− For renter-occupied housing units,

monthly housing costs include the contract rent, utilities,

property insurance, 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.

Vacant for rent−Monthly housing costs for vacant-forrent 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, wood, etc.), 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, mobile home park fee, etc., and

the AHS questions take care to avoid double-counting.

Specified owners and renters−In the books, Table 19 of

each chapter presents financial characteristics for these

groups, which 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.

Books. The yearly housing costs (monthly housing costs

multiplied by 12) are expressed as a percentage of the

total Current income (see definition). 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 insurance, and/or other charges. In the

books, 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. For units with

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 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. ‘‘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.

Books. 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: reverse mortgages, regular and home

equity, regular only, and home equity only.

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, 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 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.

unit,’’ ‘‘Persons—previous residence,’’ ‘‘Present and previous units,’’ ‘‘Reasons for leaving previous unit,’’ ‘‘Recent

movers comparison to previous home,’’ ‘‘Structure type of

previous residence,’’ ‘‘Tenure of previous unit,’’ ‘‘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 follow-up 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 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.

Those 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; (2) if

the public elementary school was satisfactory; (3) if it was

so unsatisfactory the respondent wants to move; and (4) if

the public elementary school was within 1 mile of the

housing unit. See also Educational attainment.

streets,’’ ‘‘Description of area within 300 feet,’’ ‘‘Other

buildings vandalized or within interior exposed,’’ ‘‘Overall

opinion of neighborhood,’’ ‘‘Trash, litter, or junk on streets

or any properties.’’

Noninterview.

Books. Not applicable.

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 who 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; (8) Type B, not classified.

Type C noninterviews are units ineligible for sample,

either because they no longer exist or because of sample

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 single children under 18 years old. See

‘‘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.

A-14 APPENDIX A

U.S. Census Bureau
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.

A medical or dental office is a doctor’s or dentist’s

office regularly visited by patients.

A commercial establishment may be located in the

same building as the sample unit, or it may be located

elsewhere on the property (grocery store, restaurant,

gasoline station, veterinary office, etc.). 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 pulled off, 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 homeowners’ association fee (excludes condominium and cooperative fees)

is a fee charged for services such as upkeep of common

property (painting hallways, cleaning lobbies, mowing

lawns, repairing laundry facilities, paving parking areas,

repairing street lights, etc.). 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, playground

areas, etc.). Also the homeowner’s 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

above 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 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.

Owner or manager on property. These statistics show

the number of rental housing units in structures of two or

more units with the owner or resident manager living on

the property.

Own never-married children under 18 years old. See

‘‘Household composition.’’

Painted surfaces.

National books. Not applicable.

National microdata. This item is restricted to housing

units built before 1978 (older homes.) Respondents were

asked 1) whether they had peeling paint, and 2) whether

the peeling paint was inside or outside the house. Respondents were asked whether any work was done, such as

sanding or scraping that would have disturbed painted

surfaces, and if they replaced or repaired doors or frames,

cabinets or built in shelves, inside walls or ceilings, windows (not counting glass) and outside walls, foundation,

doors, and window frames or trim.

Respondents also were asked if they were told before

moving in, that the paint might contain lead.

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, property insurance, etc. 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 are mortgages

whose interest rates could be changed during the life of

the mortgage, changing the amount of the payments

required. In adjustable term mortgages the amount of the

payments 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

APPENDIX A A-15

U.S. Census Bureau
life of the mortgage. Balloon mortgages are mortgages 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.

National books and microdata. Not applicable.

Persons. See ‘‘Household.’’

Persons other than spouse or children.

Books. 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,

they have 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 let us count 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

never-married 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, as long as it has at

least three. In addition to the three generations, there also

may be other relatives in the household.

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 never-married

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 defined this

way.

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, etc. A household already counted above

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 where 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 counts households with members

unrelated to the householder, who pay rent to another

household member, and who are aged 14 years and older,

and are not co-owners, co-renters, or son, daughter, stepchild or adopted child (regardless of age or marital status)

of a co-owner or co-renter. This item does not use the

‘‘lodger’’ answer on relationship to householder, since it is

less carefully defined than the question on lodgers’ rent.

See also ‘‘Household,’’ ‘‘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,

A-16 APPENDIX A

U.S. Census Bureau
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 in the categories above, so they 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. 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, foster children,

etc. The books 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 ‘‘Household composition.’’

Persons per room.

Books. 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—previous residence. All people are 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. In the books, the previous residence of

the householder is covered in Table 10 of each chapter.

Physical problems. 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).

Heating. Having been uncomfortably cold last winter for

24 hours or more because the heating equipment broke

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

for at least 6 hours each time.

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

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

breakers in the last 90 days.

Hallways. Having all of the following four problems in

public areas: no working light fixtures, loose or missing

steps, loose or missing railings, and no 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 inches by 11 inches of peeling

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

days.

A unit has moderate physical problems if it has any of

the following five problems, but none of the severe problems:

Plumbing. On at least three occasions during the last 3

months, all the flush toilets were broken down at the

same time for 6 hours or more (see ‘‘Flush toilet 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

above.

Upkeep. Having any three or four of the six upkeep problems listed above.

See also ‘‘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.’’

Places.

National books. Place size as shown in national reports

reflects the population of places as of the 1980 census.

Microdata and metropolitan books. Not applicable.

See also ‘‘Central cities’’ and ‘‘Urban and rural residence.’’

APPENDIX A A-17

U.S. Census Bureau
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 ‘‘Complete bathrooms,’’ ‘‘Flush toilet and flush

toilet breakdowns,’’ ‘‘Sewage disposal and sewage disposal

breakdowns.’’

Population in housing units.

Books. 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 books, their poverty status was determined by comparing their combined income to the twoperson poverty threshold.) The effect of using household

income is to count about 6 percent fewer people in poverty than the official estimate. See ‘‘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

March 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 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 B.

Other HUD Households. Note that in the official poverty

thresholds, elderly are expected to need less than nonelderly in the one- to two-person 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

March 10, 1997, Federal Register, Volume 62, page

10,857. (Guidelines are 15 percent higher in Hawaii, and

25 percent higher in Alaska than shown below.)

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 1997

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 from which they last moved.

Previous home owned or rented by someone who

moved here.

Books. 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.

HUD and HHS limits continue rising with higher household sizes, at the same rate shown.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey.

Previous occupancy. The statistics presented are

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

now in the household occupied the housing unit prior to

the 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 ‘‘Metropolitan areas.’’

Primary mortgage. Detailed information on mortgages

was collected in the AHS on the first three mortgages

reported, even if the unit had four or more mortgages. 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) Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Veterans Administration (VA), or Farmers Home Administration (FmHA)

mortgage; (2) assumed mortgage; (3) mortgage obtained

first; (4) 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. See ‘‘Total outstanding principal amount.’’

Problems. See ‘‘Neighborhood conditions and neighborhood services,’’ ‘‘Physical problems,’’ ‘‘Poverty status.’’

Property insurance. This item refers to insurance on the

structure and/or its contents (such as furniture, appliances, clothing, etc.) 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.

Purchase price. The purchase price refers to the price of

the house or apartment and lot at the time the property

APPENDIX A A-19

U.S. Census Bureau
was purchased. Closing costs are excluded from the purchase price, and for mobile homes, the value of the land is

excluded. In the books, the median purchase price is

rounded to the nearest dollar.

Quality. See ‘‘Neighborhood conditions and neighborhood

services,’’ ‘‘Physical problems,’’ ‘‘Selected amenities,’’

‘‘Selected deficiencies.’’

Questionnaire. Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing

(CAPI) was introduced in 1997, eliminating paper questionnaires. See the discussion under 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 301-457-3235.

Race. In the books, the classification of ‘‘race’’ refers to

the race of the householder occupying the housing unit.

The concept of race as used by the Census Bureau does

not denote a clear-cut scientific definition of biological

stock. Race was determined on the basis of a question

that asked for 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. For mixed-race answers,

respondents are asked for the race most closely identified

with, respondents are asked for the mother’s race, or the

first race mentioned is used, in that order of priority.

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 Blacks or

other categories. Figures are given for race and ethnicity

in Table 2-1.

Ratio of value to current income.

Books. The ratio of value to current income was computed

by dividing the value of the housing unit by the total current (family) income (see definition of current income).

The ratio was computed separately for each housing unit

and was rounded to the nearest tenth. For value and current income, the dollar amounts were 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 books, medians for real estate taxes are

rounded to the nearest dollar.

Reasons for leaving previous unit. 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 (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 (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.

To establish own household means that the respondent

left a previous residence (parent’s home, rooming or

boarding house, shared apartment, etc.) 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, rundown, in need of too many repairs, etc., or if there was

nothing wrong with the previous home, but 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.

A-20 APPENDIX A

U.S. Census Bureau
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 were 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 ‘‘Choice of present home and home search’’

and ‘‘Choice of present neighborhood and neighborhood

search.’’

Recent movers. Data for recent movers 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.

Recent movers 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 movers 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 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

books, medians for remaining years mortgaged are

rounded to the nearest year.

Rent paid by lodgers.

Books. This item refers to regular fixed rent, a set amount

of money, billed or charged, that is paid at regular intervals by a lodger (usually weekly or monthly) to a member

of the household. The data are restricted to lodgers who

are age 14 years and older, nonrelatives of the householder or any nonrelatives of co-owners or co-renters. In

the books, medians for rent paid by lodgers are rounded

to the nearest dollar.

Microdata. In addition to the above, rent paid by lodgers

also includes relatives age 21 and over who are not

co-owners or co-renters and who are not spouses of

co-owners or co-renters.

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 which HUD

puts on all rental projects insured by the Federal Housing

Administration.

A housing unit is classified as being in a public housing

project if 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.

A housing unit is classified as having a subsidy if 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.

APPENDIX A A-21

U.S. Census Bureau
Replacements and additions.

Books. To be published later.

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 has

there been a major disaster, such as an earthquake, tornado, hurricane, landslide, fire, or flood that required

them to make extensive repairs to their home. Only if the

damage involved at least 2 rooms or a majority of the

home were replacements and additions counted as disaster required repairs.

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 roof, 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 tank; water

heater; dishwasher, garbage disposal; driveways or walkways; fencing or walls; patio, terrace or detached deck;

swimming pool, tennis court and other recreational structures; shed, detached garage 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. Median for rooms is rounded to the

nearest tenth (see Medians).

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 or

office space is a room set up for use as an office or business such as rooms for: a business owner, contract

worker, self-employed person, commercial use (such as

daycare, catering, etc.) or regular job. See also ‘‘Other

activities on property.’’

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 some shingles, fixing

water pipes, replacing parts of large equipment, such as

furnace, repairing fences, gutters, sidewalks, decks or

patios, removing dangerous trees, 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 ‘‘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 in this report for

an explanation of sample design.

Savings. See ‘‘Amount of savings and investments.’’

Schools. See ‘‘Educational attainment’’ and ‘‘Neighborhood conditions and neighborhood services.’’

Seasonal units. See ‘‘Vacancy, seasonality, and marketing.’’

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.

A-22 APPENDIX A

U.S. Census Bureau
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, like a Franklin stove. Freestanding fireplaces are included in this item.

Separate dining room. A separate dining room is an area

separated from adjoining rooms by archways or wall that

extend at least 6 inches from an intersecting wall. See

Rooms.

Living rooms, recreation rooms, etc. Includes family

rooms, dens, recreation rooms and/or libraries.

Garage or carport. The 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 ‘‘Overall opinion of structure.’’

Selected deficiencies.

Signs of mice or rats. The statistics on 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. Respondents were asked about holes 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). Statistics are presented on

open cracks or holes in the interior wall 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). The area of peeling paint or broken plaster must be on the inside walls or

ceilings and at least one area of broken plaster or peeling

paint must be larger than 8 inches by 11 inches.

Electric wiring. A housing unit is classified as having

exposed electric wiring if the unit has any wiring that is

not enclosed, either in the walls or in metal or plastic coverings. Excluded are appliance cords, extension cords,

chandelier cords, and telephone, antenna, or cable television wires.

Electric wall outlets. A housing unit is classified as having

rooms without electric wall outlets if there is not at least

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

A working electric wall outlet is one that is in operating

condition; that is, 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.

Sewage disposal and sewage disposal breakdowns.

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.

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

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

was completely unusable. Examples include septic tank

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

water service interruption.

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 ‘‘Cost and ownership sharing’’ and ‘‘ Time

sharing.’’

Single children under 18 years old. See ‘‘Household

composition.’’

Site placement. This item is collected for mobile homes.

‘‘Site’’ refers to location (other than the manufacturer’s or

dealer’s lot) and not necessarily a mobile home park site.

The mobile home was not necessarily occupied at each

site, as long as it was set up for occupancy.

Source of drinking water. The statistics presented are

restricted to units where the respondents answered that

their primary source of drinking water was not safe to

drink. Units where the primary source of water was commercial bottled water were excluded. See ‘‘Primary source

of water.’’

Specified owner and renters. See ‘‘Monthly housing

costs.’’

Square feet per person.

Books. Square feet per person is computed for each singlefamily detached housing unit and mobile home by dividing the square footage of the unit by the number of

APPENDIX A A-23

U.S. Census Bureau
people in the unit. The figures shown 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 ‘‘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 ‘‘Central cities’’ and ‘‘Metropolitan areas.’’

Suitability for year-round use. See ‘‘Vacancy, seasonality, and marketing.’’

Supplemental heating equipment. Additional heating

equipment for a heated area of the housing unit.

Taxes. See ‘‘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, contract to purchase, etc.

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 past year. 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. 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

books, medians for term of primary mortgage are rounded

to the nearest year.

Total outstanding principal amount.

Books. The statistics shown represent the total amount of

principal that would have to be paid off 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 books, medians for outstanding principal

amount are rounded to the nearest dollar. The data include

all regular mortgages but exclude 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 ‘‘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 the

Farmers Home Administration (FmHA). 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.’’

A-24 APPENDIX A

U.S. Census Bureau
Units. See ‘‘Housing unit,’’ ‘‘Occupied housing units,’’

‘‘Vacancy, seasonality, and marketing.’’

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

were 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.

Mobile homes are shown as a separate category (see

‘‘Mobile homes’’).

Urban and rural residence. As defined for the 1980

census, urban housing comprises all housing units (a) in

urbanized areas and (b) in places (see Places) 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 census, 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.

Utilities. See ‘‘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

by people for whom it is their 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. Among year-round units, the rental

vacancy rate is the number of units for rent as a percent of

the total of units for rent, plus renter-occupied, plus

rented.

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 persons with

Usual Residence Elsewhere. If all people in a housing unit

usually live elsewhere, that unit is classified as vacant. For

example, a beach cottage occupied at the time of the

interview by a family that has a usual residence in the city

is included in the count of vacant units. Their home in the

city or the home of a comparable vacationing family also

can 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 item.

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

APPENDIX A A-25

U.S. Census Bureau
or 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.

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 is 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.

Comparability. There may be differences between the AHS

and other surveys that present vacancy rates. The differences may be attributed to such factors as differing interview periods, survey designs, survey techniques, and processing procedures, as well as differences in concepts and

definitions. In addition, there are sampling and nonsampling errors.

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 sale

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 books, medians for value are rounded to the

nearest dollar.

See also ‘‘Ratio of value to current income.’’

Water. See ‘‘Plumbing facilities,’’ ‘‘Primary source of water

and water supply stoppage,’’ ‘‘Safety of primary source of

water,’’ ‘‘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 inside or outside the building and by the

most common areas (roof, basement, walls, closed windows, or doors, etc.) or reasons (fixtures backed up or

overflowed, pipes leaked, etc.) of water leakage.

Work. See ‘‘Income’’ and ‘‘Journey to work.’’

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 moved at the

same time. In the books, the median year householder

moved into unit is rounded to the nearest year.

Year primary mortgage originated. The year the primary mortgage was originated is the year the mortgage

was signed (see Primary mortgage). In the books, 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 mobile homes, the

manufacturer’s model year was assumed to be the year

built. In the books, 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 books, median year acquired is rounded

to the nearest year.

METROPOLITAN SAMPLE DESIGN

Sample Areas

The 1998 American Housing Survey Metropolitan

Sample (AHS-MS) provides information on 15 metropolitan

areas interviewed as part of the American Housing Survey

(AHS), which was conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for

the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

These metropolitan areas are:

• Baltimore, MD

• Birmingham, AL

• Boston, MA-NH

• Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN

• Houston, TX

• Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN-WI

• Norfolk-Virginia Beach-Newport News, VA-NC

• Oakland, CA

• Providence-Pawtucket-Warwick, RI-MA

• Rochester, NY

• Salt Lake City, UT

• San Francisco, CA

• San Jose, CA

• Tampa-St. Petersburg, FL

• Washington DC-MD-VA

Most of these metropolitan areas are consistent with

the 1993 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions of the metropolitan statistical area (MSA), consolidated metropolitan statistical area (CMSA), or primary metropolitan statistical area (PMSA) with the following

exceptions:

• Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN does not include: Brown County,

OH; Gallatin, Grant, and Pendleton Counties, KY; and

Ohio County, IN, from the 1993 OMB definition for the

Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN PMSA.

• Providence-Pawtucket-Warwick, RI-MA does not include:

Little Compton town, and Tiverton town in Newport

County, RI; and Fall River City, Somerset town, Swansea

town, and Wesport town in Bristol County, MA, from the

1993 OMB definition for the Providence-Fall RiverWarwick, RI-MA MSA.

• Washington DC-MD-VA does not include Clark,

Culpeper, King George, and Warren Counties, VA; and

Berkeley and Jefferson Counties, WV, from the 1993

OMB definition for Washington, DC-MD-VA-WV PMSA.

Interview Schedules

The metropolitan areas selected for AHS-MS are scheduled to be interviewed on a rotating basis about once

every 6 years. The Census Bureau collected 1998 AHS-MS

data between March and November of 1998. Initially, the

sample in each metropolitan area was uniformly distributed throughout nine panels (panels 3 through 11).

Due to budget constraints, panels were dropped in the

following metropolitan areas in 1998:

• In Boston, all units in panels 5, 9, and 11

• In Houston, all units in panels 5, 7, 9, and 11

• In Salt Lake City, half of panel 11

The cases in the nine panels were assigned to four clusters to be sent out for interview. Cluster 1 was made up of

panels 3, 4, and 5; cluster 2 was made up of panels 6, 7,

8, and 9; cluster 3 and cluster 4 were made up of panels

10 and 11, respectively. Interviewing for cluster 1 began

around March 1, 1998; interviewing for cluster 2 began as

early as May 1, but no later than June 1; interviewing for

cluster 3 began as early as September 1, but no later than

October 1; and interviewing for cluster 4 started as early

as October 1, but no later than November 1. All interviewing was completed by November 16, 1998.

Sample Size

Table C summarizes the interviewactivity for each of

the metropolitan areas in this report series. The table provides the response rate, the number of eligible units (comprised of completed interviews and noninterviews), and

the number of units visited but ineligible for interview.

Sample Selection

The 1998 AHS-MS sample consists of the following

types of housing units:

• Housing units selected from the 1990 census

• Newconstruction in areas that issue building permits

• Housing units missed in the 1990 census

• Other housing units added since the 1990 census

The response rate is computed by dividing the number of unweighted interviews by the total number of cases eligible for interview and multiplying

by 100. 2

Sample units were visited but occupants were not at home after repeated visits or were unavailable for other reasons.

3

Sample units were visited but did not provide information relevant to the housing inventory. This category includes sample units that were found

not to be in the sampling frame.

The Census Bureau initially grouped the housing units

enumerated in the 1990 Census of Population and Housing in the United States into census blocks and divided

these blocks into two frames: the unit/group quarters

frame and the area frame. Two criteria distinguished to

which frame a census block belonged: (1) the completeness of addresses in the block; and (2) whether the block

was in an area that issued building permits for new construction at the time of the 1990 census. Four situations

arose:

1. Most addresses within the census block were complete, and the block was located in an area that issued

permits for newconstruction. These blocks were

placed in the unit/group quarters frame.

2. Most addresses within the census block were complete, and the block was located in an area that did

not issue permits for newconstruction. These blocks

were placed in the area frame.

3. There were not enough complete addresses within the

census block, and the block was located in an area

that issued permits for newconstruction. These

blocks were placed in the area frame.

4. There were not enough complete addresses within the

census block, and the block was located in an area

that did not issue permits for newconstruction. These

blocks were also placed in the area frame.

The unit/group quarters frame was 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 with another Census Bureau survey, a subset

of census blocks in the unit frame which contained sample

units selected by this other survey was moved to the area

frame.

All newconstruction 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.

The Census Bureau selected a separate sample for each

metropolitan area. Sampling operations for all frames were

performed separately within a designated group of counties in each state. The size of the sample determined the

overall sampling rate used to select the sample. Prior to

the AHS-MS sample selection, other Census Bureau surveys sampled from each of the frames. Records selected

by other 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 sample

from the remaining records after adjusting the sampling

ratio to reflect the removal of the other surveys’ sample.

Table D 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.

For institutional group quarters, the measure of size is

always equal to one. For noninstitutional group quarters,

the measure of size is a function of the number of people

living in the group quarters. 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.

Permit frame. The Census Bureau selected sample units

in the permit frame from a computerized list of newconstruction building permits issued in each metropolitan

area. Housing units authorized by these permits were

expected to be completed after April 1, 1990. In certain

permit areas and for certain structure sizes, permits

issued as early as January 1, 1989, were included. However, most permits included in sample were issued after

September 1, 1989. 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. Some

of the original clusters were larger than four. These were

sampled at 1 in 4.

Area frame. The Census Bureau sorted census blocks by

central city and balance and by the percentage of renteroccupied housing units in the block. Each block was

assigned a measure of size equivalent to total housing

units in the block divided by four. A systematic sample of

blocks was selected with a probability proportionate to

the block’s measure of size. Field representatives listed all

housing units in these area frame sample blocks. Based

upon a block’s measure of size, clusters of an expected

size of four housing units were then sampled from the

field representatives’ lists. These listings were also

matched back to the 1990 census to obtain census data

for the sample housing units. The sample drawn from the

field representatives’ listings for this frame includes housing units enumerated in the 1990 census, as well as housing units missed during the census or built since the 1990

census in blocks that did not monitor newconstruction by

issuing building permits. In blocks that did issue building

permits, nonmobile home housing units built since the

1990 census were screened out.

To reduce field listing costs, a subset of the blocks from

the unit frame (that was moved to the area frame to coordinate with another survey) were matched to the census

and the 1990 census list of housing units in this subset of

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 newconstruction in these blocks was

covered by the building permit system.

1998 AHS-MS Telephone Interviewing

The previous approach for the AHS required a personal

visit for the first interview. To keep costs down for the

1998 AHS-MS, part of the sample used the previous

approach and the remainder used the telephone interview

when possible. Telephone numbers were obtained for

these cases by the matching of addresses to phone lists

provided by a vendor.

Estimation

The 1998 AHS-MS produced estimates of housing

inventory characteristics at the time of the interview(that

is, the 1998 housing inventory) based on the sample in

the metropolitan areas.

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:

• Sample units for which occupants were not home

• Sample units for which occupants refused to be interviewed

• Sample units for which occupants were unavailable for

some other reason

• Vacant sample units for which data were not collected

The calculations for this adjustment included occupied

and vacant units. The Census Bureau computed the Type A

noninterviewadjustment separately for the following:

1. All occupied housing units in the unit frame and housing units in the area unit frame with 1990 census data

available.

The adjustment for these units was calculated separately for owners in the central city, for owners in the

balance of the metropolitan area, for renters in the

APPENDIX B B-3

U.S. Census Bureau
central city, and for renters in the balance of the metropolitan area. Housing units were placed into cells

based upon the strata used in the unit frame sampling. All owner-occupied housing units were categorized into 76 cells by the number of rooms in the

housing unit and the value of the housing unit at the

time of the 1990 census. All renter-occupied housing

units were categorized into 51 cells by the number of

rooms in the housing unit and the rent paid for the

housing unit at the time of the 1990 census.

2. Occupied housing units in the area frame with no data

available from the 1990 census and housing units in

the group quarters frame.

Housing units were divided into two groups: housing units in the central city and housing units in the

balance of the metropolitan area. Within the balance,

housing units were placed in two categories based on

frame. Units were subdivided in the central city and

the balance depending upon the tenure status and

whether the housing unit was a mobile home or not.

3. All occupied housing units from the 1990-based permit frame.

Once again, the housing units were divided into

two groups by central city and the balance of the metropolitan area. Within central city and balance, the

housing units were further subdivided by tenure status at the time of the interview. Finally, the housing

units were split on whether or not they had been constructed within the 4 years preceeding this survey

yielding a total of eight cells.

4. All vacant/usual residence elsewhere housing units.

The housing units were divided into two groups by

central city and the balance of the metropolitan area.

Within a given cell, the Type A noninterviewadjustment factor was equal to the following ratio:

Weighted count Weighted count

of interviewed + of Type A noninterhousing units viewed 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 for all housing units in the unit frame. This factor was

computed separately for all sample housing units within

each unit frame noninterviewcell mentioned previously.

This ratio estimation procedure was introduced to correct

the probabilities of selection for samples in each of the

strata used in the sample selection of the unit frame. Prior

to the AHS-MS sample selection within each metropolitan

area, 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

number of housing units deleted from the AHS-MS unit

frame was not necessarily proportional among all strata,

some variation between strata in the actual probability of

selection was introduced during the sample selection process. 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 in the

unit frame in 1990 in the corresponding cell

For each metropolitan area, the numerators of the factors were obtained from the 1990 Census of Population

and Housing.

The denominators of these factors come from weighted

estimates of all the AHS-MS housing units in existence at

the time of the 1990 census from the unit frame, using

the weights available at the time of calculation (that is, the

product of the basic weight and the Type A noninterview

adjustment factor). The computed unit frame ratio estimation factor is then multiplied by the existing weight for

each sample housing unit within the corresponding ratio

estimation cells.

Mobile home ratio estimation. To adjust for undercoverage of mobile homes, the Census Bureau applied the following ratio estimation procedure in all areas:

Independent estimate of mobile homes

for the corresponding geographic subdivision

of the metropolitan area

Sample estimate of mobile homes

for the corresponding geographic subdivision

of the metropolitan area

The numerator of this ratio was determined using data

from the 1980 and the 1990 censuses. Based on the

increase or decrease in the number of mobile homes

between 1980 and 1990, the Census Bureau estimated the

total number of mobile homes in the survey year 1998.

The denominator was obtained using the existing weight

of AHS-MS sample mobile home units (that is, the product

of the basic weight and the weighting factor).

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.

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

B-4 APPENDIX B

U.S. Census Bureau
that the sample housing population, or different portions

of it, is brought into agreement with known good estimates of the metropolitan area housing population.

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 making

adjustments to the 1990 census data to account for residential newconstruction as well as losses to the housing

inventory. These estimates were generated at the county

level and combined to form geographic subdivisions. For a

more detailed description of the determination of these

numbers, refer to a description of a similar process at the

state level in the Current Population Report, Series P-25,

no. 1123. The denominator was obtained using the existing weight of AHS-MS sample units, excluding mobile

homes (that is, the product of the basic weight and the

weighting factors).

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.

NATIONAL SAMPLE DESIGN

Sample Size

The 1997 national data are from a sample of housing

units interviewed between August and November 1997.

The same basic sample of housing units is interviewed

every 2 years until a newsample is selected. The Census

Bureau updated the sample by adding newly constructed

housing units and units discovered through coverage

improvement efforts every enumeration. For the 1997

American Housing Survey-National (AHS-N), approximately

53,100 sample housing units were selected for interview.

About 2,200 of these units were found to be ineligible

because the unit no longer existed or because the units

did not meet the AHS-N definition of a housing unit.

Of the 50,900 eligible sample units, about 5,000 were

classified (both occupied and vacant housing units), as

Type A noninterviews because (a) no one was at home

after repeated visits, (b) the respondent refused to be

interviewed, or (c) the interviewer was unable to find the

unit. This classification produced a 90-percent overall

response rate.

Sample Selection

The Census Bureau has interviewed the current sample

of housing units since 1985. First, the United States was

divided into areas made up of counties or groups of counties and independent cities known as primary sampling

units (PSUs). A sample of these PSUs was selected. Then a

sample of housing units was selected within these PSUs.

Selection of sample areas. The sample for AHS is

spread over 394 PSUs. These PSUs cover 878 counties and

independent cities with coverage in all 50 states and the

District of Columbia.

If there were over 100,000 housing units in a PSU at the

time of selection, the PSU is known as a self-representing

PSU, because it was removed from the probability sampling operation. It was in sample with certainty. The

sample from the PSU represents only that PSU. There are

170 self-representing PSUs.

The Census Bureau grouped the remaining PSUs and

selected one PSU per group, proportional to the number of

housing units in the PSU, to represent all PSUs in the

group. These selected PSUs are referred to as nonselfrepresenting PSUs. The sample nonself-representing PSUs

for AHS are a subsample of the Current Population Survey’s (CPS) sample areas based on the 1980 census.

Selection of sample housing units. The AHS sample

consists of the following types of units in the sampled

PSUs:

• Housing units selected from the 1980 census

• Newconstruction in areas requiring building permits

• Housing units missed in the 1980 census

• Other housing units added since the 1980 census

Housing units selected from the 1980 census. The

Census Bureau picked a systematic sample so every unit

had a 1 in 2,148 chance of being included in the AHS.

In areas where addresses are complete (at least 96 percent of units having a house number and street name) and

permits are required for newconstruction, housing units

receiving 1980 census long-form questionnaires were

sorted by the following items:

• PSU

• Central city, urbanized area, urban outside urbanized

area, rural

• Owner, renter, vacant for rent, vacant for sale, other

types of vacants

• Number of rooms

• Value of home or gross rent

• Mobile home or not a mobile home

In areas where addresses are not complete or permits

are not required for newconstruction, land areas were

sorted using a formula incorporating the following items:

• PSU

• Central city, urbanized area, urban outside urbanized

area, rural

APPENDIX B B-5

U.S. Census Bureau
• Median value of home

• Number of children under 6 years old

• Number of elderly people

• Number of owner-occupied homes

• Number of mobile homes

• Number of homes lacking some plumbing

• Number of owner-occupied homes whose value is below

$45,000

• Number of renter-occupied homes with rent below $200

• Number of Black and Hispanic people

• Number of 1-room homes

New construction in areas requiring building permits. In areas that require building permits for newconstruction, the Census Bureau selected a sample of permits.

These permits do not cover mobile homes or conversion

of older buildings to residential use.

Housing units missed in the 1980 census. The Census Bureau conducted a special study that identified units

at addresses missed or inadequately defined in the 1980

census. A sample of these identified units was selected.

Housing units added since the 1980 census. If extra

units are added in buildings or mobile home parks where

AHS already has sample units, a sample of these extra

units was selected. To find when whole buildings are built

(in addition to building permits, mentioned above) or are

converted from nonresidential to residential use, the Census Bureau listed all residential buildings in a sample of

areas around the country, any additional buildings, and

selected a sample of their units.

Estimation

Each housing unit in the AHS sample represents itself

and over 2,000 other units. The exact number it represents is its ‘‘weight.’’ The weight was calculated in five

steps. The purpose of these steps is to minimize both

sampling errors and errors from incomplete data. The

result of the steps is also to force consistency with some

major categories of data in other Census Bureau surveys,

Therefore, figures on these categories do not actually

depend on the AHS sample, but on the other surveys.

1. Basic weight. The Census Bureau assigned each unit

a weight to reflect its probability of selection. With

rare exceptions, this weight is 2,148.

2. Noninterview adjustment. An adjustment was

made for refusals and occupied units where no one

was home. The calculations for this adjustment do not

include units the Census Bureau could not locate. The

earlier weight was multiplied by the following factor:

Interviewed units + Units not interviewed

Interviewed units

It is assumed the units missed are similar in some ways to

the units interviewed for AHS.

This adjustment is done separately for groups defined

by cross-classifying the following data items if prior year

data for the indicated items is available:

• Four census regions

• Central city, suburb, or nonmetropolitan

• Urban or rural

• Mobile home or not a mobile home

• Owner/for sale or renter/for rent

• Number of units in structure*

• Number of rooms*

• Occupied, vacant year round, or seasonal/migratory

vacant*

(*If known from a previous survey; otherwise, the Census

Bureau substituted whether or not units were drawn from

building permits for these items.)

For seasonal/migratory vacants and year-round vacants

other than those for rent or for sale, units were crossclassified only by census region and central

city/suburb/nonmetropolitan.

PSU adjustment. The Census Bureau adjusted for differences that existed in 1980 between the number of 1980

census housing units estimated from the AHS sample of

nonself-representing (NSR) PSUs and the 1980 census

counts outside the self-representing PSUs. The earlier

weight was multiplied by the following factor:

1980 census housing units in all areas that could

have been chosen as nonself-representing PSUs

1980 census housing units estimated from the

AHS sample of nonself-representing PSUs

This adjustment is done separately for groups defined

by cross-classifying:

• Owner, renter, or vacant (four census regions)

• Central city, suburb, or nonmetropolitan

• Urban or rural

• Hispanic or non-Hispanic householder (only in South

and West regions)

• Black or non-Black householder (only in South region)

New construction adjustment. The Census Bureau

adjusted for known deficiencies in sampling new construction by multiplying the earlier weight by the following factor:

Independent estimate

AHS sample estimate

This adjustment is done separately for groups defined

by cross-classifying:

• Four census regions

• Mobile home or not a mobile home

B-6 APPENDIX B

U.S. Census Bureau
• Number of units in structure

• Year built (pre-1980 and 5-year categories after 1980 as

shown in the publication)

Independent estimates are based on the Census

Bureau’s Survey of Construction and Survey of Mobile

Home Placements. Note that final AHS figures for the categories above are not really based on the AHS sample

findings, but on the independent sources.

Demographic adjustment. Comparability among the

surveys was ensured by multiplying the earlier weight by

the following factor:

Independent estimate

AHS sample estimate

This adjustment is done in two steps for occupied

units. First, the factors were computed and applied for the

Hispanic or non-Hispanic groups defined by crossclassifying:

• Four census regions

• Owner or renter

• Hispanic or non-Hispanic householder

• Husband-wife, other male householder, or other female

householder

• Age of householder

Next, the demographic adjustment is repeated with the

same cells, except classified by the Black or non-Black

groups, rather than the Hispanic or non-Hispanic groups.

Vacant for sale, vacant for rent, other year-round vacant

and seasonal/migratory vacant units were cross-classified

only by the four census regions and central city, suburb,

or nonmetropolitan.

The percentage of occupied and vacant units was based

on the AHS itself. The distribution within occupied and

vacant units is from the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey for occupied units, and from the Housing

Vacancy Survey for vacant units. The grand total number

of all housing units in the United States is based on the

1990 census adjusted to account for newand lost units.

Note that final AHS figures for the categories above are

not really based on the AHS sample findings, but on the

independent sources.

Repetitions. The newconstruction and demographic

adjustments were repeated to help match both sets of

independent estimates simultaneously. These adjustments

were repeated until every cell’s factor is between 0.98 and

1.02 or the change in each factor from one repetition to

the next is fewer than 0.015.

Small cells. In each step of weighting, many items were

cross-classified; so some cells may have fewcases. When

a cell is too small (fewer than 30 cases for the noninterviewadjustment or fewer than 50 cases for the demographic adjustment) or the adjustment factor is too

extreme (greater than 1.5 for the noninterviewadjustment

or outside a range of 0.5 to 2.0 for the demographic

adjustment) the Census Bureau combined the cell with one

or more other cells that are similar in most respects. Cells

for the PSU adjustment or the newconstruction adjustment were not combined.

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 the 1984 metropolitan survey, 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.

1987. As a result of the use of 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 AHSNational 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 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.

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

APPENDIX C C-1

U.S. Census Bureau
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).

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.

Some of the older surveys have additional documentation. Besides a Questionnaire Compendium (900 pages)

with 1973-81 questionnaires (please 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.

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

in metropolitan surveys, though some of those interviews

were completed on paper by telephone from interviewer’s

homes). 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

discussion in this appendix under the topics ‘‘Buildings

and neighborhood’’ and ‘‘Telephone interviewing.’’

C-2 APPENDIX C

U.S. Census Bureau
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

personal interviewing (CAPI) using laptop computers. The

survey questions, including 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 skip

instructions were programmed into the laptop, thus eliminating 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 discussion in this appendix under 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.

Description of area within 300 feet.

1987, 1989, and 1997. See the discussion under 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 discussion in this appendix under 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.

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.

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

APPENDIX C C-3

U.S. Census Bureau
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

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 discussion in this appendix under 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, they were

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.

Housing unit definition.

1984. One major and one minor difference appears 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 5 or more people

unrelated to the householder was considered to be group

quarters. In 1984, the cutoff was changed to 9 or more

people unrelated to the householder.

Income.

1984. See the discussion in this appendix under 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 a complete definition 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 E 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 are the same for both

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.

Kitchen.

1984. Short questions are asked about each aspect of a

complete kitchen (questions 27, 36a, 38a, 38b2); 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, bring 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.’’ 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.

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 Metropolitan areas, Appendix A). Since 1993, we have

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 concerned household

members age 14 or older who are not related to the

householder, not co-owners or co-renters, and not children

of co-owners or co-renters). The respondent was asked if

any of these nonrelatives paid a regular fixed rent as a

lodger, and if so, what their dollar rent was and whether it

included food. The questions were intended to measure

the cost of such housing for the lodgers. In this, as well as

earlier and later years, any lodgers’ rent received by the

householder should have been reported as rental income,

but it is not certain whether householders do so.

1993. Because of concern about ambiguity of the questions for housemates who share rent and utilities, and a

desire to measure their housing costs, the questions were

changed to remove the word ‘‘lodger’’ and ask about any

cost sharing. The respondent could answer with average

dollars per month or a percent share for each such costsharing nonrelative. Again inclusion of food was asked,

and a new question was asked about whether the nonrelative was an employee of the household. True cost-sharing

would not be counted as the householder’s income, and

the householder’s housing cost only would be the remaining share not covered by any nonrelatives’ shares.

The category labelled ‘‘lodgers’’ in the 1993 books is

incorrect, because the term was not used in the questionnaire that year.

1995 and 1996. The 1995 national and 1996 metropolitan surveys returned to the original 1984 questions for

lodgers.

1997. Both nonrelatives and relatives aged 21 and over

who were not (co-)owners or (co-)renters and who were

not spouses of (co-)owners or (co-)renters were asked the

lodger questions. The same questions were asked as in

1984, with the addition of whether the person was an

employee of the household or contributed to costs (asking

separately about contributions for utilities, mortgage/rent,

groceries, and other).

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.

APPENDIX C C-5

U.S. Census Bureau
These figures were corrected in 1977 and published in

General Housing Characteristics for the United States and

Regions: 1977, series H150/77.

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 F 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 confidentially. 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.

The criteria were published by the U.S. Bureau of Budget

in Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas, 1959. The

boundaries were published in 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.

Nonrelatives and Other Two-or-More-Person

Households: 1987

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

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, and more major revisions

occurred in 1983. 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.

Mobile homes.

1984. Mobile homes with attached permanent rooms

began to be counted as mobile homes, while previously

they were counted as single family units. Mobile homes

with attached permanent rooms are identified separately

in the microdata. See the discussion in this appendix

under the topic ‘‘Housing unit definition.’’

1985. See the discussion in this appendix under the topic

‘‘Weighting.’’

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. 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.

Neighborhood.

1987, 1989, and 1997. See the discussion in this appendix under 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 discussion in this appendix under 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’’

in the item ‘‘Other housing costs per month.’’ The ‘‘homeowner association fee paid’’ data in the 1994 and earlier

were incorrect and should not be used.

Persons other than spouse or children.

1993. See the discussion in this appendix under 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 below). 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.

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 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

APPENDIX C C-7

U.S. Census Bureau
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 G. This increase also affected

medians as Table H 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),

though 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 discussion in this appendix under 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 I

presents the differences.

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 lowincome households.

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 0- to 13-year-old

child. This change was caused by a desire to focus on

households that would be most knowledgeable about

elementary schools. A mistake prevented covering all such

households.

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 1985 questionnaire:

• 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, please 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:

• 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

discussion in this appendix under the topic ‘‘Computer

assisted interviewing.’’

Survey Branch, U.S. Census Bureau at 301-457-3235.

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.’’

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

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.

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 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.

1998. The data for rooms published in 1998 are not comparable to the data published in earlier years. The

approach used in 1998 resulted in a much lower count of

one room housing units and housing units with no bedroom as shown in Table K.

C-10 APPENDIX C

U.S. Census Bureau
The 1998 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 baths, 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 of 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 this year and earlier years. Housing units that

should have been counted as one-room units or as having

no bedrooms in 1998 were counted as having more than

one room and/or having one or more bedrooms.

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 Weighting in the appendix, 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.

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

301-457-3235. 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.

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 discussion under 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.

APPENDIX C C-11

U.S. Census Bureau
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 discussion in this appendix under 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 discussion in this appendix under 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 discussion in this appendix under 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

one-unit 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 AHSNational 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 L provides revised levels of 1983-85 growth by adding 1983 overestimates and subtracting 1983 underestimates to the 1983-85 change shown in Table M.

Urban, rural, and population.

1985. From 1973-83, national books and data files use

1970 populations and 1971boundaries 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.)

Utilities.

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.

C-12 APPENDIX C

U.S. Census Bureau
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 sponsored by the United States 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 Residential Energy Consumption Survey

(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.

Vacant units.

1984. See the discussion in this appendix under the topics ‘‘Housing unit definition’’ and ‘‘Weighting.’’

Value.

1984. See the discussion in this appendix under 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 N shows that the

sources of these control totals have changed.

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 ratioestimated 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 shows 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 O shows the effects of

the weighting change by region for the year 1991.

Table P 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.

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.

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:

• 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 1981 and 1991 (see

Appendix C) corrected some of the error due to incomplete data; that one correction averaged 2.5 percent in

1991. 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 our 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. Housing unit undercoverage is about 1.7

percent for the 1997 AHS-N. The approximate housing

unit undercoverage rates for the 1998 metropolitan areas

range from less than 1 percent to 4.4 percent.

The independent estimates changed around 2.5 percent

in both 1981 and 1991 (after the 1980 and 1990 censuses, respectively) which implies that some error existed

in the years just before the adjustment. The next correction will be after the Census 2000. Before adjustments,

undercoverage varies from 2 percent to 20 percent for

major categories of units (see Table 2 in Appendix D of

American Housing Survey for the U.S. in 1995) but is usually less than 3 percent, on average. Table Q lists units

that have known coverage deficiencies.

Table Q. Poorly Covered Units

Type of unit Type of deficiency

Mobile homes, boats,

and recreational

vehicles (RVs)

No coverage of new mobile home parks, new

marinas, and new RV parks since April 1980

for AHS-N or April 1990 for AHS-MS,

in areas where addresses are complete and

permits are required for new construction.

Conventional new

construction

No coverage of permits issued fewer than 8

months before interviewing or homes built

without permits where permits are required. In

addition, eligible units could be missed and

ineligible units included because of incorrect

answers to questions used to screen out

ineligible units.

New construction in

special places (for

example, college

campuses, prisons,

etc.)

Not covered in either permit-issuing or

nonpermit-issuing areas.

Group quarters and

houses moved in

Eligible units could be missed because of

incorrect answers to questions used to screen

out ineligible units.

Conversions from

nonresidential units

AHS-N: Minimal coverage of nonresidential

units in buildings with no living quarters at the

time of the 1980 census that converted to

housing units by 1991 (and no coverage since

1991) in areas where addresses are complete

and permits are required for new construction.

AHS-MS: Nonresidential units at the time

of the 1990 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

penalties.

Whole structure

additions

These units are chosen with the aid of

screening questions. Eligible units could be

missed and ineligible units included because

of incorrect answers to the screening

questions.

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

values are to the actual values. For other items, ‘‘not

reported’’ is used as an answer category. The items with

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. Census Bureau
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 are missed by a particular question,

they represent about 10 million homes that have to be

estimated on little or no basis (there are about 100 million

homes in the U.S.). The survey estimates them by assuming that they are like some group of homes that did give

data, an assumption that 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 shown

in Tables R1 and R2 in the tables section, 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 1997.

Table 2 in Appendix D of American Housing Survey for the

U. S. in 1995 gives the completeness rates for 1995. Due

to the change in data collection methodology, the rates for

1997 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 1997.

Effect on income. The nonsampling errors interact particularly badly for income. Income questions are inconsistently answered (Table S), 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. Also, the questionnaire now runs on interviewers’ portable computers (as

described in Appendix C), resulting in the following possible changes:

• The correct questions should be asked. Skip patterns

will 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.

• For AHS-N, large changes from prior year data are

probed during the interview, for some questions, to

reduce mistaken measurements of large change.

• Some respondents may dislike the presence of the computer, though interviewers do not report many 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.

In the future, the Census Bureau may try to estimate the

net effects of these differences.

WRONG ANSWERS

Wrong answers happen because people misunderstand

questions, cannot recall the correct answer, or do not want

to give the right answer. Table S shows which items have

been measured for inconsistency when people are reinterviewed after a few weeks. The actual 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 1997 AHSNational and the 1998 AHS-MS, the wording for some

questions changed. This change is expected to lower the

level of inconsistency for the changed items. The numbers

in Table S 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

2

Statistical note: The November 1990 paper, HowResponse

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

than: 1.64 x (.0012xU+ .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 U.S. 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. HowResponse Error,

Missing Data and Undercoverage Bias Survey Data, order number

HUD-6458, 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′′).

D-2 APPENDIX D

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.

Possible effects of telephone interviewing on the

data. A new sample was selected for the 1998 AHS-MS.

All interviews were initial interviews (never interviewed

before). A subset of the 1998 sample was interviewed by

telephone. This was the first time that the AHS allowed

initial interviews to be conducted by telephone. It is not

known what, if any, effect telephone interviewing had on

the 1998 results.

SAMPLING ERRORS

Sampling errors definition. Errors from sampling

reflect 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.

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 T gives a convenient list of errors for a range of

numbers for 1997 AHS-N. The error from sampling cannot

be known exactly. For numbers not in Table T, the error

from sampling is approximated using the following formula for constructing a 90-percent confidence interval:

1.64 x 3.85 x A .000034 x A2

where A is a number (a count of units in thousands) from

the AHS. This formula is an overestimate for most items.

For more accurate estimates, use the formula in Table V.

For example if A is 200:

1.64 x 3.85 x 200 .000034 x 200 x 200  45

The 90-percent confidence interval can then be formed

by adding and subtracting this error to the survey estimate of 200 (that is, 200 plus or minus 45). Statements

such as ‘‘the actual value is in the range 200 plus or minus

45 (155 to 245),’’ are right 90 percent of the time and

wrong 10 percent of the time.4

Numbers in the book are printed in thousands, so 200

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

is also in thousands, so 45 means 45,000.

Table W contains a list of errors for a range of numbers

for each of the 1998 AHS-MS areas. For numbers not

found in this table, interpolate between the numbers in

the table or use the appropriate formula from Table U for

the 1998 AHS-MS. Remember, in any case, that the total

error is larger than the sampling error.

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

larger group. For AHS-N, the error from sampling for a

90-percent confidence interval for this percent is:

1.64 x 3.85 p 100 p) A

where p is the percent; 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 200 (meaning

200,000) is:

1.64 x 3.85 x 40 x 60/200  11.1

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

28.9 percent to 51.1 percent’’ are right 90 percent of the

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

get a more accurate estimate for AHS-N, replace the first

number under the square root sign above with the first

number under the square root sign of the appropriate formula in Table V.5 For AHS-MS, use the appropriate formula

in Table X.

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.6

Medians. The steps in the table on page D-4 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 can

not be estimated reliably. To estimate a median’s sampling

error more accurately, find the sampling error on 50 percent as described in Table Y 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.7

4

The formula in the text is based on 1.64 times the standard

error from sampling. This formula gives ‘‘90-percent confidence

interval errors.’’ For 95-percent confidence interval errors, multiply by 1.96 instead of 1.64; for 99-percent confidence, multiply

by 2.58 instead of 1.64.

5

This formula is actually 1.64 x (p(100p)/n), since 3.85/A

adjusts the data to the effective sample size. 6

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.

7

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 number2

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.

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 the Percents section of this appendix for the

appropriate formula for AHS-N. Refer to Table X for the appropriate formula for AHS-MS. For example, for estimates consisting of only mobile

homes in the Baltimore, MD, metropolitan area,

k = .01 x (1.64 x .405 x 50 x 50  .522 and for all other estimates

in Baltimore, MD, K = .426.

Formulas for Error From Sampling. The letter ‘‘A’’ in

the formulas in Tables U, V, and X represents a number (a

count of units in thousands) from AHS (see Sampling

Errors text for an example of how ‘‘A’’ is used). For AHS-N,

the minimum error from sampling is ±9 (meaning ±9 thousand).8 If a formula gives an error smaller than 9, use 9.

For a 90-percent confidence interval on zero for the

1998 AHS-MS, refer to Table W 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 1.96 instead of 1.64; for a 99-percent confidence

interval, multiply by 2.58 instead of 1.64.

For AHS-N, if an item falls into two different categories

in Table V, use the formula that gives the largest error. For

example, for Hispanics’ income in the South, use the formulas for the South (since there is no specific formula for

income and errors for the South will be bigger than those

for Hispanics). For the following neighborhood characteristics, use the neighborhood formulas. The following

items are defined as neighborhood characteristics:

• Opinion of neighborhood

• Street noise or traffic

• Neighborhood crime

• Odors

• Other bothersome neighborhood conditions

• Elementary school

• Public transportation

• Neighborhood shopping

• Police protection

• Parking lots

• Description of area (except open space, park, farm, or

ranch) within 300 feet

• Age of other residential buildings within 300 feet

• Other buildings vandalized or with interior exposed

within 300 feet

• Bars on windows of buildings within 300 feet

• Conditions of streets within 300 feet

• Trash, litter, or junk on streets or any properties within

300 feet

For the following special characteristics, use the special

characteristics formulas. The following items are defined

as special characteristics:

• Cooperatives or condominiums

• No complete bathroom

• Less than 1,500 square feet of detached one-family or

mobile homes

• Well serving 1 to 5 units

• Mobile homes in a group

• Area within 300 feet includes open space, park, farm, or

ranch

• Septic tank, cesspool, chemical toilet

• Five or more acres in lot size

• No bedroom

• Lacking complete kitchen facilities

• Lacking some plumbing facilities

• No flush toilet

• Major street repairs needed

8

This minimum formula is based on the binomial 90-percent

confidence interval on zero U x (1−.13.85/U) =9 (where U is the

total number of homes from the AHS). For a 95-percent confidence interval, substitute .05 for .1 in the above formula. For a

99-percent confidence interval, substitute .01 for .1. More discussion and other approximations are in the paper ‘‘Sampling Errors

for Small Groups’’ available from HUD USER (see ‘‘Where to Get

AHS Data’’).

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

Square brackets show 90-percent confidence intervals. Parentheses show 95-percent confidence intervals (used in 1988 and before).

3

Measured in national surveys (N) or metropolitan surveys (MS).

CATI is computer-assisted telephone interviewing; where shown, inconsistency was measured separately for CATI and non-CATI interviews.

The formulas in the text are based on 1.64 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 1.64; for 99-percent confidence, multiply by 2.58 instead of 1.64. 2

Some items (for example, characteristic of total housing units) may involve housing units from both the mobile home and nonmobile 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 1.64 x (p x (1−p)) /n. For example, for all other estimates in the Baltimore, MD, metropolitan area, .27/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 nonmobile 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.
