AHS Updates: Metro Tables, Worst Case Needs

The summary tables for the metropolitan areas that were included in the 2011 American Housing Survey are available on the Census Bureau's web site. The direct link is http://www.census.gov/housing/ahs/data/2011ma.html. Note that if you click on the metro area name, you will be taken to the American FactFinder system. If you want the tables in Excel, click on the "XLS" link to the right of the area name. The Excel files use the same structure as the national summary tables.

HUD’s 2011 Worst Case Needs Report is available for download from the HUD USER web site, https://www.huduser.gov/portal/publications/affhsg/wc_HsgNeeds11.html. This report uses 2011 AHS data to examine the circumstances of very low income renters who pay more than half their incomes for rent or live in severely inadequate housing.
