2007 American Housing Survey Metropolitan Data

The American Housing Survey (AHS) is the most detailed, regular national housing sample survey in the United States. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development directs the Census Bureau to conduct the AHS to obtain up-to-date statistics on the housing stock of the nation and selected large metropolitan areas.

Metropolitan area surveys are conducted for 21 metropolitan areas, where householders are interviewed every 6 years. The results for areas surveyed in 2007 are now available for the following: o Baltimore, Maryland; o Boston, Massachusetts; o Houston, Texas; o Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota; o Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida; o Washington, DC-Maryland-Virginia; and o Miami-Ft. Lauderdale. Current and previous metropolitan data are available from HUD USER in SAS, ASCII, and ZIP formats at http://www.huduser.org/datasets/ahs/ahsdata07.html, while the Census Bureau offers reports in PDF format at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/housing/ahs/metropolitandata.html.
