Scope and Methodology: These data were derived from answers to questions included on the census long form. Roughly one in every six households received this sample questionnaire. These data are estimates and are subject to sampling variability and confidentiality algorithms. In addition, census special tabulation data are subject to rounding rules that result in universe totals not exactly matching standard census tabulations. For more information on special rounding rules, see http://www.huduser.org/datasets/cp.html
The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS)data showing housing problems and the availability of affordable housing are used by HOME and CDBG jurisdictions to prepare their consolidated plans.
