OT: Picture of Subsidized Households 2000

HUD's "Picture of Subsidized Households" project has been
updated to 2000. While this project is based on HUD
administrative data rather than the American Housing Survey, I
thought that it might be of interest to the readers of this
mailing list.

Picture of Subsidized Households describes the 4.9 million
households living in HUD-subsidized housing in the United
States for the year 2000. Like 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. However,
Picture 2000 now includes summary data for Metropolitan
Statistical Areas and cities.

Also new in this release: you can create custom queries of the
Picture data by geography and by HUD program, and retrieve
exactly the data you need. Or, you can download complete
summary files. You also may export PICTURE data to your
Geographic Information System (GIS) software for mapping.

The data is available from the HUD USER web site, at
https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/assthsg.html .
