American
Housing Survey - Basic Stats for Healthy Housing
Jump to Table
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 46 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:
Comparison of 47 Metropolitan Statistical
Areas (MSAs) (Excel spreadsheet)
Snapshot of Each MSA
Compared to National Data (see below)
Trends for Each MSA (where
MSA has two years of data available after 1997) (data
only available for five cities as of June 2007)
Healthy Homes
Profiles: NCHH's
Healthy Homes Profiles to
help communities better understand how their rates of healthy housing
problems compare to national averages and how units compare in central city
versus non-central city areas within their Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).
The table is based on MSA data from the American Housing Survey (AHS) for
the most recent year available and compared to the same or new closest
subsequent year for national data.
Relationship Between Interior
Problems and Exterior Problems.
NCHH's report
to help communities make
homes healthier by giving them a better understanding the direct
relationship between exterior programs such as a sloping outside wall and
interior problems such as rats, large holes in the floor, and water damage
that can impact resident health and safety. With this understanding,
communities can more effectively and efficiently identify homes with serious
health and safety threats and set priorities for assessments of the
interior. The table is based on the American Housing Survey (AHS). The AHS
tracks some but not all items related to health. For example, it does not
track cockroaches, radon, lead-based paint, and carbon monoxide levels.
Definition of the Metropolitan Statistical Areas as of 2004
Definitions of Healthy Homes Terms
Used by AHS.
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.
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
tneltner@nchh.org or 443.539.4160.
