Picture of Subsidized Households 2000 Data and Query Tool!

From: HUD USER News
 
HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research has
again gathered data to update its comprehensive profile
of subsidized housing in the United States. The Picture
of Subsidized Households 2000 data set describes the 4.9
million households living in HUD-subsidized housing in
the United States for the year 2000. As in previous
editions, Picture 2000 provides characteristics of
assisted housing units and residents, summarized at the
national, state, public housing agency (PHA), project,
and census tract levels. For the first time, however,
Picture 2000 includes summary data for Metropolitan
Statistical Areas (MSAs) and cities. Housing
researchers, policymakers, and practitioners can use
this data to develop greater insight into the needs of
families who depend on housing subsidies.
 
Also new with this release is the capacity to create
custom queries of the Picture 2000 data by geography and
by HUD program to retrieve the data you need. You can
also download complete summary files. Instructions for
importing PICTURE 2000 data into your Geographic
Information System (GIS) mapping software are included.
This data set is available online at https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/assthsg.html#2000,
and data from previous years can be downloaded
from https://www.huduser.gov/datasets/assthsg.html.
