This archive contains summary tables compiled using 1997 AHS data by an independent contractor. They are intended to give analysts a quick look at the data and the changes in values from the previous surveys. Note especially that as of this revision date variables related to income are not reliable.
Most tables involving income appear as all zeros.
Even those with nonzero income values should not be relied upon. In many other cases, the underlying microdata are correct, but the table specifications are still being revised. These revisions will undoubtably change some of the values. HUD will release revised files as necessary. This is a text file containing the 1997 equivalents of the tables in the 1995 national publication and supplement.
