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:
Relationship Between Interior
Problems and Exterior Problems (see below)
Definition of the Metropolitan Statistical Areas as of 2004
Use the table below to find the reports for each
of the 47 MSAs. Please note that the MSA reports only list the national data if
the MSA data is more than 20% higher or lower than the
national data and it is more than 0.25 points different. If you want to see the full report by the Census Bureau,
click on the second column. The full reports are more than 300 pages long.
NCHH has also developed reports for each MSA and
each central city that evaluates the relationship between
exterior and interior problems. The reports identify that increased
likelihood of finding an interior problem if an exterior problem if present.
For a summary of the definitions related to healthy homes
including the meaning of severe and moderate physical problems, click here.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) set a Healthy People
2010 goal of cutting the number of homes with severe and moderate physical
problems to 3.1 million homes by 2010. There were almost 6.2 million homes
in 2005. If you
have questions, contact NCHH's Tom Neltner at
