Supply Experiment of the Experimental Housing Allowance Program. Audit of the Baseline Survey of Residential Buildings in Site II
The paper was prepared as part of the Supply Experiment, which is a major component of the Experimental Housing Allowance Program. The Supply Experiment is designed to test the market and community response to a full-scale housing allowance program and to measure mobility patterns of recipient families. An assessment of the completeness and reliability of data from a survey of the physical characteristics of residential buildings, the properties where they stood, and the immediate neighborhoods of a sample of 4,443 residential properties in St. Joseph County, Indiana (Site II of the Housing Assistance Supply Experiment) was made. Outcomes of survey attempts were accounted for, and tests were conducted for non-response bias. Checks were also made for response errors or inconsistencies and for anomalies in the survey instrument or field procedures. Less than 1 percent of the applicable responses were unusable, and only one serious form of nonresponse bias was found -- in questions about interior public areas of large apartment buildings. Responses to descriptive questions were found reliable.
