1 Decennial Census of Housing.


2 American Housing Survey estimates are available in odd-numbered years only after 1981.


3 Annual Housing Survey estimates through 1981 based on 1970 census weights; 1983 to 1989 estimates based on 1980 census weights; 1991 and 1995 estimates based on 1990 census weights. No reduction in Nation's housing inventory has even occurred; apparent reductions are due to changes in bases used for weighting sample data.
