Components of Inventory Change (CINCH) reports
The Components of Inventory Change (CINCH) report measures
changes in the characteristics of the housing stock of the
United States. Using data collected from the national American
Housing Survey (AHS), conducted every two years, the characteristics
of individual housing units are compared across time. This
comparison allows researchers to see not only changes in
the characteristics of housing units, but also in the characteristics
of occupants. Information is available on the characteristics
of units added and removed from the housing stock.
First-time users of this publication are advised to refer
to the Appendices and notes immediately preceding the tables
for explanations of the columns and how to interpret the
results. The Appendices also contain the definitions of
all of the characteristics, cautions, and explanations about
some of the results.
Each report has two sections. The first section, labeled
"Losses," shows the losses to the housing stock
in the two-year period using the first year as the base
year. In other words, the first section shows the disposition
of all the units that were present at the beginning of the
period. The second section, labeled "Gains," shows
the gains in the housing stock during the two-year period,
using the second year of the period as the base year. That
is to say, the second section shows the source of all the
units that were present at the end of the period.
The "Summary of Components of Inventory Change: 1985-1995"
document is a compilation of the five two-year reports
All of the reports are based on the American Housing Survey
national sample. The results presented here are not directly
comparable to the Census Bureau publications "Components
of Inventory Change: 1980-1991," or "Components
of Inventory Change: 1980-1993."
