Every American Housing Survey dataset and report from the 1973 through 1999 surveys is now available on CD-ROM. The 2001 CD-ROM is still in production. CD-ROMs can be ordered from the HUD USER web site (www.huduser.gov) or by phone (800-245-2691). The price of CDs ranges from $15 to $50 (for no readily apparent reason).

I have prepared a Microsoft Word document that lists all of the CDs and provides a guide for microdata users. However, I don't want to send an attachment to the entire mailing list. If you want a copy, please send me a private email (david_a._vandenbroucke@hud.gov). A version of this guide may appear on the web site in the future.

It isn't news, but I do want to remind you that the microdata for all the surveys beginning with 1995 (including 2001) can be downloaded from HUD USER, and most of the reports (1975-2001 National, 1984-1998 Metro) can be downloaded from the Census Bureau (http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ahs.html).
