Major Changes

INCOME

In 2004, information on whether or not a resident of the housing unit received Supplemental Security Income (SSI) pay-ments was collected in a separate category. In 2003 and earlier, the receipt of SSI payments was collected in a combinedcategory that included public assistance and welfare payments. For detailed definitions of income categories, see Appen-dix A.

REPLACEMENTS AND ADDITIONS

In 2004, the question, ‘‘Was that wall-to-wall carpeting installed over existing, finished flooring, or was that put down overbare sub-flooring, such as concrete or unfinished wood?’’ was no longer asked. The question, ‘‘In the last two years, haveyou installed any wall-to-wall carpeting?’’ was still part of the survey. For a detailed definition of replacements and addi-tions, see Appendix A.

Explanations and Cautions

EXPLANATIONS

Survey authority and confidentiality. The U.S. CensusBureau conducts the American Housing Survey (AHS) toobtain up-to-date housing statistics for the Department ofHousing and Urban Development (HUD). Title 12, Sections1701Z-1 and 1701Z-2g of the U.S. Code authorize the Sec-retary of HUD to collect data from public and private agen-cies and protect the confidentiality of the data. Title 12,Section 1701Z-10 mandates the collection of the data forthe AHS. The guarantee of confidentiality made to respon-dents is provided by the Census Bureau. Title 13, Section9a, of the U.S. Code provides that all information thatwould permit identification of individuals will be held instrict confidence. Such information may be seen only byindividuals sworn to uphold the confidentiality of CensusBureau information and may be used only for statisticalpurposes. Section 214 of Title 13 sets penalties for dis-closing confidential information. Unauthorized disclosureof individual information by a person sworn to uphold theconfidentiality of Census Bureau information is punishableby a fine of up to $250,000 or imprisonment of up to 5years, or both. The Census Bureau is authorized underTitle 31, Section 1535 of the U.S. Code, to perform specialwork or services for other federal agencies.

Contents of book. This book presents data on apart-ments; single-family homes; manufactured/mobile homes;vacant housing units; age, sex, and race of householders;income; housing and neighborhood quality; housing costs;equipment and fuels; and size of the housing units. Thebook also presents data on mortgages, rent control, rentsubsidies, previous unit of recent movers, and reasons formoving.

Scope of the survey. The AHS is conducted by field rep-resentatives who obtain information from occupants ofhomes. They get information on vacant homes frominformed people such as landlords, rental agents, orknowledgeable neighbors. Interviewing occurred fromMay 30 through September 8. The sample sizes for themetropolitan areas range from 1,300 to 3,500 addresses.See Appendix B for details.

CAUTIONS

Sampling and nonsampling errors. The numbers inthis book may have errors from sampling and othercauses (incomplete data, wrong answers, etc.).

Appendix D gives more detailed formulas to calculateerrors for a wide range of items. Appendix D also givessome estimates of nonsampling errors.

Undercoverage and nonresponse. Each home in theAHS sample represents a large number of other homes.However, because of incomplete sampling lists (i.e., under-coverage) and nonresponse, the homes in the survey donot represent all homes in the country. Therefore, the rawnumbers from the survey are raised proportionally so thatthe published numbers match independent estimates ofthe total number of homes. These independent estimatesare based on Census 2000, plus changes since then. Hous-ing unit undercoverage and household nonresponse isabout 11 percent. Compared to the level derived from theadjusted Census 2000 counts, housing unit undercover-age alone is about 2.2 percent.

The weighting procedures used for AHS-National partiallycorrect for the bias due to nonresponse and housing unitundercoverage, but not for within-household undercover-age. The procedures assume the housing units missed bythe survey are like those included, which is not entirelyaccurate. Housing-unit undercoverage varies by age, eth-nicity, and race of householder, and by type of household.For some groups, such as Black alone, the undercoverageis at least 9 percent. Some AHS estimates are affected bymissed persons within sample households. These are per-sons per room, square feet per person, some householdcomposition items (for example, persons per household),and income characteristics. We do not know the effect ofthis within-household undercoverage on these characteris-tics. Appendix D shows how complete the answers werefor each question, before adjustments. Appendix Bexplains how the numbers were proportionally adjusted.

Income and poverty. Historically, the AHS underesti-mates income and overestimates poverty when comparedto the Current Population Survey (CPS). The AHS mentionsfewer sources of income than the Annual Social and Eco-nomic Supplement to the CPS. The poverty data in the AHSare not published as an official count of households inpoverty, but to show the housing characteristics of low-income households. For a discussion of income and pov-erty, see Appendix C.

A detailed discussion of AHS income data is presented inthe Census Bureau memorandum for the record, ‘‘Compari-son of 1989 AHS and CPS Income Reporting.’’ The memo-randum for the record, ‘‘AHS Poverty Data, 1985 to 1993,’’

viiExplanations and Cautions


presents a detailed discussion of AHS poverty data. Copiesof both memoranda can be obtained by writing to theHousing and Household Economic Statistics Division(HHES) at the address given in the table below.

DATA AVAILABILITY

The AHS data are presented nationally as well as for majorselected metropolitan areas (see table below). The tablebelow shows the sources for obtaining AHS data, the prod-uct available, and the pricing for each product. Eachsource or organization sets its own charges, so prices mayvary among the sources. For the data user whose needsare not met by the book tabulations (printed books),

microdata are available on tapes and on CD-ROMs so thatdata can be tabulated in any way desired. Microdata arealso available on the Internet for 1997 and beyond.National data tables are on the Internet for 1973 andbeyond. Contact HHES for more details. The Census Actprohibits the release of individually identifiable data. TheCensus Bureau uses statistical methods prior to datarelease to ensure respondents’ confidentiality. In additionto using statistical methods, the names and addresses ofrespondents, and areas smaller than 100,000 people arenot identified. The sample design generally will not sup-port analysis for areas smaller than those shown in thebooks.

1The American Housing Surveys for 1999 and 2001 issued CD-ROMs titled ‘‘Table Generating Data Disk.’’ These CDs contain a special type ofdatabase file called an EXTRACT. This file allows users to create their own tables (cross tabulations) with the built-in software. On these CDs, thereare data tables that users can manipulate to show selected information, to form graphs, and to print. Included also on these CDs is the microdata filein both SAS and ASCII formats along with the associated documentation. The publications also are included.

2Ask for U.S. Census Bureau series H150 and H151. Depository libraries may order Superintendent of Documents prefix C3.215. Libraries oftenkeep national books in a special catalog and section for U.S. Government documents. Metropolitan reports may be located in the general catalogsince these are not published by the Superintendent of Documents.
