American Housing Survey - Basic Stats for Healthy Housing

The American Housing Survey (AHS) collects data on the Nation's housing, including apartments, single-family homes, mobile homes, vacant housing units, household characteristics, income, housing and neighborhood quality, housing costs, equipment and fuels, size of housing unit, and recent movers.

The Census Bureau conducts the survey for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The results and details are available at www.census.gov/hhes/www/housing/ahs/ahs.html.  The Census Bureau collects national data in odd numbered years, and data for each of 47 selected Metropolitan Areas about every six years. The national sample covers an average 55,000 housing units. Each metropolitan area sample covers 4,100 or more housing units. The AHS returns to the same housing units year after year to gather data; therefore, this survey is ideal for analyzing the flow of households through housing.

The National Center for Healthy Housing identified the aspects of the AHS data that are directly related to the health and safety of residents living in the home.  From this analysis, NCHH developed a series of reports:
