AHS
The update package for the updated 2001 AHS dataset is now available for
download from https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/ahs.html.  This
package is for those of you who downloaded the dataset previously and want
only the changed data.  The update package is a self-extracting zip file
which contains these items:

1. Replacement homimp datasets, in both ASCII and SAS versions.
2. An ASCII file that contains the changed data for the newhouse file.
3. A SAS program that will merge the changed data with your old (SAS)
newhouse file.
4. A README file explaining the changes.

The package is 714KB and expands to about 3MB.  You can use the update
package whether you downloaded the SAS or ASCII version originally.
However, if you don't use SAS you will have to write a program to merge in
the changed newhouse data on your own.  The README explains what you need
to do in more detail.
