American Housing Survey
Overview
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau conduct the American Housing Survey (AHS). The survey collects data on the nation's housing, including apartments, single-family homes, mobile homes, vacant housing units, household characteristics, commuting characteristics, income, housing and neighborhood quality, housing costs, equipment and fuels, size of housing unit, and recent moves. National data are collected in odd numbered years, and the national sample covers an average 55,000 housing units. Data for each of 47 selected Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) are collected about every four years, with an average of 12 MSAs covered each year. Each metropolitan area sample covers 4,800 or more housing units. Visit the American Housing Survey.
