Guide to the Annual Housing Survey. A Closer Look at the Nation's Housing and Neighborhoods
This guide to the Annual Housng Survey, an attempt by the Federal Government to provide a timely census of housing in America, examines the scope of the survey and explains how the information can be used. The Annual Housing Survey consists of two separate parts: (1) a national sample of housing units from urban and rural areas to be examined every year, and (2) metropolitan area samples from 60 selected areas, with one - fourth of them examined in detail every fourth year. The information provided in the survey includes a yearly comparison of the number of housing units in the United States, broken down by type, location, and whether rented, owned, or vacant; the net changes in the housing supply resulting from the destruction of some units and the construction of new ones; the physical condition of all housing units and the dependability and repair of their facilities; an indication to what extent rural and urban housing are being repaired and renovated; vacancy rates in rental and housing for sale; comparative information on the price of housing and on the level of rents; information on where people are most likely to move and why; and an indication of citizens' attitudes toward neighborhood conditions and community services. The information generated by this survey can be used by members of Congress, housing experts, private financial institutions, State and local governments, and private businesses.
