‘The most comprehensive survey of its kind’
By Jann Swanson | Mortgage News Daily
It is a bi-annual bonanza of data for anyone in need of facts about housing in America and how people use it. The 2015 edition of the American Housing Survey (AHS), sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau was released late last Friday.
HUD calls the AHS “The most comprehensive survey of its kind.” It covers a variety of “core” housing topics, including the composition and quality of the nation’s housing inventory, mortgages and other housing costs, and neighborhood conditions.
