Correction to Loss Data: 1990 and 1991


      Data on losses published in chapter 6 of the Supplement to the
    American Housing Survey for Selected Metropolitan Areas in 1990,          
    series H171/90, and Supplement to the American Housing Survey for   
    Selected Metropolitan Areas in 1991, series H171/91, are incorrect
    because of an error in the weighting.  The weighting errors have
    been corrected.  Corrected data are available from the Housing 
    and Household Economic Statistics Division (301-763-3242), Bureau
    of the Census, Washington, DC 20233-8500.

       The following tables present a summary of the differences 
    between the corrected loss data and the previously published
    data for both years.  Although the differences in the number
    of units removed are large, the differences in the character-
    istics are quite small.
