AHS 2003 Topcode File Available

HUD.GOV HUDUser.gov
eList

Documentation of the top- and bottom-codes in the 2003 AHS public use file has been posted to the HUD USER web site,
https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/ahs.html . In order to maintain confidentiality, unusually high (and, in a few cases, low) values in the AHS dataset are replaced with maximum (or minimum) values, called top (or bottom) codes. This MS-Excel spreadsheet documents these values for the affected variables.
