AHS: 2011-2013 Components of Inventory Change and Rental Dynamics

AHS: 2011-2013 Components of Inventory Change and Rental Dynamics

The Components of Inventory Change (CINCH) project uses the longitudinal features of the American Housing Survey (AHS) to track how the housing stock changes between AHS data collections. The project emphasizes the reasons for loss from, and sources of additions to, the stock, but it also tracks changes to the characteristics of the existing stock. The Rental Dynamics project builds upon CINCH, focusing on changes to the affordability of the rental housing stock, including filtering, gentrification, losses, and additions.

The CINCH and Rental Dynamics reports based on the 2011-2013 national AHS are now available on HUD USER, at https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/cinch.html#2011-2013. In addition to the PDF reports, you can also download the underlying CINCH datasets (SAS or CSV), the SAS programs used to generate the dataset and tabulations, and a document explaining the derivation of the longitudinal weights used in the project. The dataset can be linked to the AHS public use files to support further analysis.

There will be no CINCH or Rental Dynamics reports based on the 2013 metropolitan AHS. We encountered classification and sample size problems in the metropolitan data that preclude useful analysis.
