Subject: AHS 2002 Reference Files

Because of a mixup in communications, a number of our standard reference files
related to the 2002 AHS metro survey were never posted on HUD USER, even though
they were ready in July. I finally noticed this, and the files are now on the
2002 web page, https://www.huduser.gov/datasets/ahs.html . I
apologize for the delay.

Here is a description of the files:

AHSDSC2002.exe: Descriptive statistics (928 KB).
This archive contains descriptive statistics by metro area (SMSA) for the 2002
American Housing Survey Metropolitan Sample (07/10/2003 release). These are
intended to help analysts verify that they have set up the microdata files
correctly. Statistics are provided for both the 8-file format distributed by
HUD and the file produced by the "file flattener" utility. Descriptive
statistics (minimum, mean, maximum, and sum) are provided in weighted and
unweighed forms, by SMSA, for all numeric variables. Frequency distributions
are provided for all character variables (not by SMSA).

The files are:
2002 8-file Contents.txt
2002 8-file unweighted descriptives.txt
2002 8-file unweighted frequencies.txt
2002 8-file weighted descriptives.txt
2002 8-file weighted frequencies.txt
2002 flat file contents and means.doc
2002 flatfile unweighted frequencies.txt
2002 flatfile weighted frequencies.txt
README.TXT

ahsqcode2002.exe: The computer script (286 KB) that embodied the survey
instrument (The Q Code).

ahsspec2002.exe: The Census Bureau's table specifications (78 KB) for its
reports.

AllMSAs_Tables_7_10_03.exe: Alltabs files(905 KB).
The alltabs files are tables which are an attempt to replicate the information
in the published reports using the public data. They are a byproduct of the
quality control that is performed as part of the data processing. They will be
close, although not always exact to the published reports. Minor differences
may appear due to changes in the data due to data confidentiality and also
minor differences in definitions. The alltabs files are provided to act as a
point of comparison for users trying to replicate the printed reports.
